Dan Williams enters his fifth season with the Chiefs and first as the offensive quality control/assistant quarterbacks coach after one season as an offensive assistant in 2022. Williams spent his first two seasons with the Chiefs as the assistant to the head coach (2020-21) and spent the 2019 season as a coaching intern.
Williams worked closely with the quarterbacks in 2022 in his sole season as an offensive assistant. With Williams' assistance, QB Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense produced a historic season en route to their second Super Bowl victory in four years (LIV, LVII). Mahomes and the offense led the league in many categories: passing yards (5,250), passing touchdowns (41), passing TD percentage (6.3%), passing first downs (272) and pass plays of 25+ yards (49). Mahomes completed 435 of his 638 passes and his 67.1 completion percentage was the highest of his career. The sixth-year quarterback set franchise records for passing yards (5,250) and single-season passing first down (272) in 2022. Mahomes' 2022 performance earned him his second NFL MVP and Super Bowl MVP after the Chiefs took down the Eagles 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII.
In 2019, Williams worked closely with the quarterbacks and tight ends, gaining experience as a coaching intern of Super Bowl LIV Champion Chiefs before moving to his role as assistant to the head coach. During his time as assistant to the head coach, Williams worked directly with Head Coach Andy Reid in organizing the day-to-day operations of the team. His responsibilities included overseeing player and staff communications with the head coach and managing the football calendar, which includes the offseason program, mini-camp and in-season schedules.
The Sicklerville, N.J., native spent four seasons (2015-18) at Stevenson University where he served as the starting quarterback and team captain. Williams left the Mustangs as the school's all-time leader in career completions (277), attempts (449), completion percentage (64%), passing yards (7,139) and passing touchdowns (61).
Williams' father, Ted Williams, spent 20 years on the Philadelphia Eagles coaching staff working with the tight ends (1995-96; 2013-14) and running backs (1997-2012). He also spent two years as a pro scout with the Eagles in 2015-16.
