Mike Sherman has been a coach at just about every level. His coaching resume includes stops as the head coach of the Green Bay Packers, head coach of the Texas A&M Aggies and offensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins. Now he has another place to add to that list: Nauset Regional High School.

In an interview with the Cape Cod Times Sherman explained why he did not pursue another high-level job after being let go by the Dolphins:
I felt after Miami I couldn’t put my family through another move. My wife Karen has put up with a lot in regard to my career and was happy to have unpacked her last box. We’ve been coming here almost every summer over the last 30-plus years as a family so we felt this was a natural fit for us to call Cape Cod home.
Sherman has grown restless without football though, but why now? And why at the high school level?
I guess I’d say, why not? I’ve been fortunate financially over the years, which is allowing me to do this. Back in January I was looking for a place to have a football camp this summer and Nauset High School came up. Then I heard they were looking for a head football coach.
It took me a while to pull the trigger. It hasn’t been an easy decision because I wanted to make sure I was all 100 percent in. The kids deserve that from their coach. I’ve loved coaching in the NFL and college for the last 33 years, but I am definitely looking forward to working with the kids at Nauset.
Sounds like Sherman has found the perfect spot for himself.
