Nick Sheridan, who spent the last two seasons at Alabama, joined Michigan State's staff as the offensive coordinator in January 2026.
A coaching veteran of 15 years in the collegiate ranks, Sheridan has previous experience as an offensive coordinator at Alabama and Indiana.
In his first season as offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at Alabama in 2024 under Kalen DeBoer, the Crimson Tide ranked third in the SEC and No. 22 in the FBS with 33.8 points per game. Alabama also rushed for 41 touchdowns, a total that led the SEC and ranked fifth most in the nation. Starting quarterback Jalen Milroe was selected in the third round (No. 92 overall) of the 2025 NFL Draft by the Seahawks and three players on offense earned All-SEC honors (WR Ryan Williams and OL Tyler Booker, first team; OL Kadyn Proctor, second team).
As co-offensive coordinator and QBs coach in 2025, Sheridan helped develop starter Ty Simpson, a second-team All-SEC selection who guided Alabama to 11 wins and a berth in the CFP Quarterfinals (Rose Bowl Game). Simpson threw for 3,567 yards and 28 touchdowns this season, figures that rank No. 2 in the SEC and top 10 in the FBS.
Sheridan also coached with DeBoer at Washington for two seasons as the tight ends coach, helping the Huskies go 25-3 in 2022-23 while winning the 2023 Pac-12 title and reaching the CFP National Championship Game. Sheridan's tight ends contributed to a passing offense that ranked No. 1 in the FBS in 2022 and No. 2 in 2023. During UW's march to the title game in 2023, Jack Westover paced the Husky tight ends with 46 catches for 433 yards and four TDs.
Prior to Washington, Sheridan spent five seasons at Indiana (2017-21), including the last two as offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach. He helped mentor Michael Penix Jr. in Bloomington as the lefty QB earned second-team All-Big Ten honors in 2020 while leading the conference in passing (274.2 ypg). Penix went on to a record-setting career at Washington, winning the Maxwell Award in 2023, and was a first-round selection (No. 8 overall) in the 2024 NFL Draft by Atlanta. Sheridan's offense in 2020 also featured Ty Fryfogle, who was named the Big Ten Receiver of the Year, as the Hoosiers finished No. 12 in the AP rankings.
Sheridan first worked with DeBoer at Indiana in 2019, as DeBoer was the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach and Sheridan coached the tight ends. Under Sheridan in 2019, Hoosier tight end Peyton Hendershot set school records for a tight end with 52 receptions for 622 yards while earning All-Big Ten recognition for the third time in his career. Sheridan spent his first two years (2017-18) at Indiana coaching the quarterbacks.
Before coaching at Indiana, Sheridan was an offensive graduate assistant at Tennessee for three seasons (2014-16). While he was at UT, Sheridan worked with quarterback Joshua Dobbs in 2016; Dobbs finished his career with 7,138 passing yards, fifth most in Volunteer history, and was selected in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft by Pittsburgh.
Sheridan's first collegiate position came as an offensive graduate assistant at Western Kentucky in 2011. He was promoted to quarterbacks coach/passing game coordinator at WKU in 2012 before taking the same position at USF in 2013.
Following his playing career at Michigan as a quarterback and earning two letters (2008-09), Sheridan starting his coaching career as the QB coach at his alma mater, Saline High School, in 2010.
