Mike Sherman — remember him? — got off to a rough start as head coach at Texas A&M yesterday, with the Aggies falling to Arkansas State of the Sun Belt Conference 18-14. Aggieland was done in by turnovers and a failure to put the game away after taking a 14-3 lead in the first half. […]

It sounds like former Green Bay Packers head coach Mike Sherman is trying to put the band back together. Now coach at Texas A&M, he recently hired his old offensive coordinator Tom Rossley to be the quarterbacks coach and a senior assistant with the Aggies. I wonder what Ed Donatell is doing these […]

Spotted a small item over at Every Day Should Be Saturday regarding our old friend, former Packers head coach and draft day guru Mike Sherman. It seems his name is being tossed around as a possible replacement at Texas A&M should the school decide to buyout Dennis Franchione’s contract after this season.

I knew that when the news of Mike Sherman’s firing came it would cause a lot of hand wringing and teeth gnashing, but I was a little surprised by some of the reactions from Packer Nation. In the small sample of comments sent in to the Press-Gazette, several people let loose with vitriol for first-year […]

Green Bay general manager Ted Thompson made the announcement today that Mike Sherman would not be returning as head coach of the Packers. Repeating the mantra that his decision was not based on Green Bay’s 4-12 record but rather his feeling that the team needs to go in a different direction, Thompson said he arrived […]

It is week eight of the regular season and the Green Bay Packers are 1-6. Now, let me get my head around that. OK, digesting and accepting. Javon Walker is out for the season (knee) and Robert Ferguson is out at least another month (knee). Ooh, now that kinda hurts my head. Both starting running […]
