OK. But does this setup help our team more than hiring an experienced and proven TE coach? Especially since the TE seems so prominent in Deboer's offense? Also, if other coaches (like Deboer ) are spending time helping Sheridan coach TEs, does that hinder their own jobs, like QBs and installing an offense? Can't we just hire the TE coach from Fresno and move Sheridan to Offensive Analyst like @76-1 suggested?Not his lawyer here, but think when you are around offense that much you pick up a lot. Other coaches help him, and he has a good, quick coaches mind (believe son of a coach) so I bet he’s got a basis. (But perhaps some learning curve ahead. Bet Deboer can assist. May be a good move for him to expand his options ahead as well.

Still playing DA here, not passing judgment on Sheridan at all.
DA continues:W: does an “analyst” pay the same as a coach? Is it allowed to pay same? I thought they had a ceiling on them? Hence, why I thought that idea was almost a slap to some of it’s capped relatively low. If they did this move (new TE Coach, Sheridan to analyst) it would be more spend for coaching after OC & likely de other salary bumps. Not sure budget there?
If we’re going to be harsh, might say bye bye to Sheridan/Inge for a combo STC/TE Coach. Or could move Inge back to LB and just leave young Womack as DC only to focus.
It is not unusual for coaches to switch positions. Every offensive coach better know what other offensive position coaches are teaching. They may not have to know the very small details but the basics for sure.
Also it will be Hiller who would help with blocking techniques and Heard would help teach route running if necessary.
DeBoer will get together with all of coaches to make sure they are all on same page before they get on the field.
Did not it is the norm but it is not unusual for young coaches to switch positions early in their careers.Switching positions is not the norm

It might not be the norm but it happens alot. I've seen head coaches juggle position coaches in the past. If Sheridan wants to get groomed for an OC someday just being a QB coach is not the way to do it. Kalen Deboer has been a WR coach and a QB coach and now an OC. Mike DeBord was an OL, TE, ST, and QB coach...jus sayin.Switching positions is not the norm
Was any change made to special teams? Not following minute by minute. That's the unit I was most concerned about.I like Deboer wanting/taking over QBs as that’s his coach on the field. I also like that Sheridan able to stay. He seems creative and a good recruiter. Hope he can bring his skills to a position hope IU utilizes better this season!
I'll play Devil's Advocate.
What does Sheridan know about:
- Pass blocking?
- Run blocking?
- Route running technique?
