Mike Sherman will replace Dennis Franchione as head football coach at Texas A&M. Sherman coached the Aggies offensive line during two separate stints in the 1990s. He is currently the offensive coordinator for the Houston Texans and coached the Green Bay Packers from 2000 to 2005. Sherman called coaching the Aggies his “dream job,” reports the Dallas Morning News.
