Report: Georgia Tech Hires Kevin Sherrer As Linebackers Coach And Co-Defensive Coordinator

Georgia Tech has found a new linebackers coach and defensive coordinator

It has been a busy day full of Georgia Tech coaching news and Yellow Jackets head coach Brent Key is not done yet. 

After bringing back Marco Coleman from Michigan State to coach the defensive line, Key is making another interesting move on the defensive side of the football. According to a report from Kelly Quinlan at JacketsOnline, Georgia Tech is set to hire a former SEC and NFL coach to be the new linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator. 

#GaTech has hired former NFL and SEC linebacker coach and DC Kevin Sherrer. He will coach LB and be Co-DC. Worked with the Giants, Tenn DC and UGA as a Lb coach.

Sherrer was most recently with the New York Giants (2020-2021) as the linebackers coach, but he has been coaching for some time. He was the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Tennessee (2018-2019), the outside linebackers coach at Georgia (2014-2017), and the defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach at South Alabama (2013). Sherrer also served as the director of player personnel at Alabama under Nick Saban. He has extensive experience as a high school coach as well. He played at the University of Alabama from 1993-1995.

What is interesting about this move is what will happen with Jason Semore, the linebackers coach this past season. Semore did a fine job of coaching both Ace Eley and Charlie Thomas to good seasons and it will be worth watching if he remains with the Yellow Jackets.
