The Saline, Mich., native shared responsibilities with JaMarcus Shepard, now OSU’s head coach, in running Karen DeBoer’s Alabama offense.
The Crimson Tide advanced in the CFP with a 34-24 victory over Oklahoma State on Friday. Sheridan served as DeBoer’s tight ends coach in Washington in 2022 and 2023 after five seasons in Indiana.
He spent two seasons as the Hoosiers’ offensive coordinator in 2020-21 and played quarterback at Michigan under Rich Rodriguez. In Rodriguez’s first season in 2008, he played eight games on and off with Steven Threat as the Wolverines went 3-9.
