A connection has formed between Jalen Milroe and Nick Sheridan that Milroe had not received from any other Alabama offensive coordinator in his collegiate career.
Nick Saban had a great quarterback room as Alabama’s head coach in 2017 with Jalen Hurts, Tua Tagovailoa, and Mac Jones. The unselfish, yet competitive nature of the room pushed the Crimson Tide to a College Football Playoff National Championship in 2017 and a Southeastern Conference Championship in 2018.
The University of Alabama had more than adequate and at times, elite production, from the center position on its offensive line during the national championship years in the Nick Saban era. William Vlachos started the success for the Crimson Tide in 2009, but Barrett Jones, Ryan Kelly, Bradley Bozeman, and Landon Dickerson elevated the position.
Alabama football has an offensive minded head coach and two offensive coordinators ready to have this group maximize its potential in spring practice and next season.
Alabama football made two personnel moves to replace one coach who didn't stay for long. Alabama named Nick Sheridan its offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach on Tuesday while announcing JaMarcus Shephard as the Crimson Tide's new assistant head coach, co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach.
Coach Kalen DeBoer has promoted Nick Sheridan and JaMarcus Shephard to co-offensive coordinators at Alabama, in a shuffling of former University of Washington assistant coaches in hopes they can add up to one Ryan Grubb.
Kalen DeBoer has dealt with a ton of change at Alabama and he hasn't even gone through his first game as head coach, yet.
After the bombshell decision on the part of apparent incoming Alabama offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb to suddenly leave the program just weeks after he was set to officially take the job, Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer appears to have a replacement lined up for the 2024 football season.
Nick Sheridan took over as offensive coordinator at Indiana with a stamp of approval from Kalen DeBoer. According to a national 247Sports reporter Matt Zenitz on Tuesday, new Alabama head coach DeBoer is set to name Sheridan as his own offensive coordinator and play-caller at college football powerhouse Alabama.
After losing longtime Kalen DeBoer staffer, Ryan Grubb, to the Seattle Seahawks last week, Alabama likely has found it’s answer just a few days later. According to 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz, the Crimson Tide are planning on promoting new tight ends coach Nick Sheridan to offensive coordinator.
When Tennessee’s new coaching staff pulled Michael Penix, Jr.’s offer in late 2017, he had a decision to make. Ironically, a key figure central to Penix choosing Indiana at that time played quarterback at Michigan and is now an assistant coach at Washington — the two teams competing in Monday night’s national championship game.
Nick Sheridan was the only member of Kalen DeBoer's University of Washington coaching staff who arrived in Seattle following a firing, looking to repair his reputation.
