Mike Sherman to Coach Texas A&M Posted Nov 26th 2007 9:30AM by Brian Cook Filed under: Big 12, Texas A&M Football, NCAA FB Coaching, Breaking News http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2007/11/26/mike-sherman-to-coach-texas-aandm/ The Star-Telegram is reporting that A&M's 11 AM press conference scheduled for today will introduce a new Aggie head coach: Houston Texans assistant head coach/offensive coordinator Mike Sherman will be selected the new Texas A&M head coach, according to a source at the university. Sherman is the offensive coordinator of the Houston Texans and is was head coach of Green Bay for six years, in which the Packers made the playoffs four times before slumping to a miserable 4-12 final year that got Sherman fired. Is this a comedown for the Aggies after Old Ball Coach and Tommy Tuberville pipe dreams? On the one hand, Sherman is an NFL retread with little experience in the collegiate ranks -- his last college job was OL coach at A&M 11 years ago -- and we all know how those have worked out of late. On the other, Sherman has a pretty shiny record (57-39) for an NFL coach and has an equally shiny reputation for getting offenses up and going. Either way, it's a major risk, and one A&M is making a whopping two days after Dennis Franchione resigned. A&M's search process makes the rumored Ferentz to Michigan switch look positively sluglike even if true.
