Texas A&M fired him as HC after 4 years.
The Dolphins then hired and fired him as OC after 2 years. He produced the 27th best offense in the NFL.
Then he went to coach at a high school...and after 2 years had a 4-18 record and re-signed.
Then, he went to the CFL and was fired as HC after 1 season and a 5-13 season...shortly before the next season began.
But...you guys recognize his name so you want him here because you think he'll help. He's been TERRIBLE at EVERY stop since the Packers.
And with the Packers, he was fired as HC and they replaced him as GM.
...and Jack del Rio only posted 1 winning record over his past 7 seasons as head coach, but plenty of people wanted him here as well. I think it'd be pretty hypocritical to pine away for JDR while instantly dismissing Sherman.
Nobody's advocating hiring Sherman to any major position. He has a history as a good offensive line coach, which just so happens to be one of the most glaring weaknesses on the team. If you can create a position for the guy (which the Bengals have done before... Hue Jackson before taking over as OC) I don't see the harm in doing it.
What's the biggest knock against the new Bengals staff? A lack of experience. Mike Sherman has decades of experience, a winning resume in the NFL, and a couple of playoff wins. I think you can get some use out of him in a special advisor type role.
