Congratulations Mike Sherman

Manziel is Sherman's recruit.

He's no Tebow.

If Sherman hadn't moved on he'd be playing WR this year.

...and be the next Turd Ferguson

Sherman was 25-25 as head coach at Texas A&M

He was also 0-2 in bowl games

I guess maybe we should celebrate guys like Glen Mason too?

I wanted things to work out with Sherman at A&M. It's pretty clear that Sumlin is a big upgrade over him though. That is a cool team to watch.

Thank you A&M! Pretty much guaranteed the Cats are gonna get a shot at the championship if they win out!
If we win at Baylor next week the game vs. Texas in Manhattan in 3 weeks is gonna be a friggin' zoo! Might be one of the few times my wife doesn't complain about being cold at a late season game.

Would love to see Bill Snyder get his shot at the Big Dance

That's a fun team to watch. I chuckled/was irked when the announcers kept talking about A&M's troubling penchant for blowing leads last year. Shocking - I don't remember a Shermy team ever folding like that when GB lost momentum. Those were usually the games when people would rationalize it by saying that 'they played hard'.



Shermy. Perhaps NOW he's found his niche as an OC - nothing against the guy personally - just an absolutely average-at-best coach.



Six years later, and still dumdums are trying to sell him as some great coach who never got his chance.

I never thought he was a bad coach (head or coordinator) but he was as bad as it gets when it came to talent evaluation. That was his downfall, not an inability to coach. He had his flaws but it's common for a first time coach to struggle in his first stop and then improve at his next stop. I was always surprised he never got a shot in the NFL after his time with the Packers, but maybe his work with Tannehill and the Miami offense will give him another shot at head coach (if he can keep it up for another year or two).

I never said BAD coach. I said average coach. He was also terrible at managing the game. How many times did he blow big decisions from the sideline? He had the same problem at A&M - he'd gag and his team would gag. This 'he was a really good coach' butbutbut meme is old - he's NOT a really good head coach - he's proven that - twice and on two levels.

He knows WTF he's doing when coaching an OL and running an offense. Beyond that he stinks. He can do a couple of things really well and he's lousy at a couple of others - that = average, mediocre head coach, and his results tend to bear that out.

nice response

He would've been a better coach had he surrounded himself with better assistants. Rossley, Slowik, Schottenheimer, Novak...the list goes on.

I'd love to have Sherman replace Campen as our O-Line coach.

He seems to be a high-character guy, and he gave it all he had, even though he was indeed an average coach. I do hope he has personal success in his post-Packers jobs.

Absolutely. Great position coach/average OC but after watching those defenses for so long (which is saying a lot considering where the defense is now) I wouldn't want Shermy making HC decisions.

Sherman deserves as much credit for beating Alabama as Mike Shula does for Alabama's 2009 National Championship win.

Johnny Football Wins it...

Even for you, this is a ****ing stupid thread.
