Nick Sheridan will continue coaching Alabama quarterbacks in 2025
Nick Sheridan will continue coaching Alabama’s quarterbacks in 2025, BamaOnLine has learned.
Bama247 first reported the coaching news.
Sheridan’s role for his second season with the Crimson Tide was initially unclear after Kalen DeBoer hired Ryan Grubb as Alabama’s offensive coordinator earlier this month. But Sheridan will coach the Crimson Tide’s quarterbacks for a second consecutive season, despite Grubb returning to Tuscaloosa to call plays for the Alabama offense this fall.
This spring and summer, Sheridan will continue to work with returning quarterbacks Ty Simpson and Austin Mack, as well as Five-Star Plus+ freshman Keelon Russell, who Sheridan was the primary recruiter. They will compete for the starting job left vacant by Jalen Milroe.
Whether or not he will hold the title of co-offensive coordinator remains to be seen.
When Grubb, who was initially set to be the Tide’s play-caller this past season, left for the same job with the Seattle Seahawks, DeBoer promoted Sheridan from tight ends coach to coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Sheridan called plays for DeBoer’s first year at UA.

Sheridan led an Alabama offense that finished 22nd in the nation in scoring offense (33.8 points per game), 47th in rushing offense (173.85 ypg), 56th in passing offense (236.4 ypg) and 42nd in total offense (410.2 ypg). The Tide also finished 12th among all FBS programs in third-down conversions (47.27%) and ninth in red zone TD conversions (74.47%).
As things sit, Alabama has six on-field coaches on the offensive side of the ball and clear roles for all coaches have yet to be announced by UA. But DeBoer now has three assistants who were with him at Washington from 2022-23 on his offensive staff at Alabama – Grubb, Sheridan and JaMarcus Shephard – and Sheridan will still work with the quarterbacks.
