“There’s a lot of talk going around about our coaching change, but coach Sherman has been with us the whole entire time,” McCaffrey said of the offensive coordinator, who will take over the heading coaching reins from Brent Vieselmeyer this season. “I personally think it’s a bummer that coach Vieselmeyer left (for Houston Baptist University), because he’s an amazing coach and an amazing guy. But as far as football goes, I know our upperclassmen are ready to go.”
