Georgia Tech Football: Coaching Profiles - Co-DC/LB Coach Kevin Sherrer

Although most Georgia Tech fans envisioned Brent Key hiring a new defensive coordinator, I don’t think this is necessarily what they had in mind. Kevin Sherrer comes to Georgia Tech holding the co-DC title and brings a wealth of experience with him.

Coaching History

  • 1996 - 1997: Tuscaloosa County HS (Defensive assistant)
  • 1998 - 2000: Alabama (Graduate assistant)
  • 2001 - 2004: Spain Park HS (Defensive backs)
  • 2005 - 2006: Hoover HS (Defensive assistant)
  • 2007 - 2009: Hoover HS (Defensive coordinator)
  • 2010 - 2012: Alabama (Director of player development)
  • 2013: South Alabama (Defensive coordinator/defensive backs)
  • 2014 - 2017: Georgia (Outside linebackers)
  • 2018: Tennessee (Co-defensive coordinator/inside linebackers)
  • 2019: Tennessee (Special teams coordinator/inside linebackers)
  • 2020: New York Giants (Inside linebackers)
  • 2021: New York Giants (Linebackers)

Going through Sherrer’s history is kind of interesting because he makes the jump from the high school ranks to Director of Player Development at Alabama and this is essentially taken under Jeremy Pruitt’s wing to go to UGA and then Tennessee.
