Sheridan Earns Pac-12 TE Coach of the Year Recognition

Nick Sheridan was the only member of Kalen DeBoer's University of Washington coaching staff who arrived in Seattle following a firing, looking to repair his reputation.

In two seasons in Montlake, he has done exactly that.

This past week, Our Coaching Network named Sheridan the Pac-12's tight-ends Coach of the Year for his season-long work with Jack Westover, Devin Culp, Quentin Moore, Josh Cuevas and others.

Each of the top four played significant snaps and scored touchdowns for the 13-0 Huskies, with Westover and Culp positioning themselves to be NFL players.

For Sheridan, it's been a nice coaching bounce-back after Indiana fired him at the end of the 2021 season as its co-offensive coordinator.

Spending five seasons at Indiana, Sheridan was made a scapegoat when the Hoosiers tailed off to 2-10 season that saw Michael Penix Jr. incur a season-ending injury for the fourth consecutive year.

He was one of two coaches who replaced DeBoer as Indiana's offensive coordinator following stints as a quarterbacks and tight-ends coach for the Big Ten school.

Both Sheridan, a former Michigan quarterback, and Penix arrived in Seattle together two years ago to join DeBoer's program.
