And again, he's resigned and it's for health and family, and we'll see where it goes from there." "I wouldn't read into that," Eberflus said. "It's personal. So people are respecting that and respecting space, I believe. That's what I believe it is. It's no disrespect to the question, it's none of that. That's where it is."Williams' resignation was among several events that made for a dramatic week within Halas Hall.
