The Chippewas play in the MAC, where they finished with a 6-7 record, falling 55-10 to Tulsa in the Miami Beach Bowl. Several coaches on the Tennessee staff have connections to CMU, including head coach Butch Jones, receivers coach Zach Azzanni and former offensive coordinator Mike DeBord.
Sheridan came to Tennessee from South Florida, where he spent two years under now-Oregon coach Willie Taggart as a graduate assistant and passing game coordinator.
