Alumni update: Mike Sherman
Barely a month removed from the end of the NFL season, former Packers coach Mike Sherman admits he's still getting used to being a college coach again.
Sherman -- now the coach at Texas A&M University -- visited a recruit in Brenham, Texas, on Monday and told the Brenham Banner-Press that things have changed since he last worked at A&M in the mid-'90s.
"It's still an adjustment time for me, and it will be for quite some time, coming from the National Football League to college, but the biggest adjustment is the growth of College Station and the football facility is totally different then when I was here last time. It's probably as good a facility as there is in college football," Sherman told sports editor Richard Bray.
Sherman said returning to recruiting has come easiest.
"Whether you're recruiting or coaching, you're always selling something," he told Bray. "You're either selling a play when I was with the (Houston) Texans or Green Bay (or) you're selling a philosophy to players and getting them to believe in you, and it's the same thing in recruiting, except now you're selling a program and a university to young men and (their) parents."
Sherman was the Aggies' offensive line coach from 1989 to 1993 and again in 1995 and 1996. He also was A&M's top recruiter in the Houston area, southeastern Texas and southern Louisiana at that time.
