no Blue Hen fans have an opinion on this hiring?

Brad Sherrod, who has spent the last 15 seasons in the college coaching ranks, including over a decade at the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision level, has been selected as linebackers coach for the University of Delaware football team, head coach K.C. Keeler announced on Monday.

Sherrod, who spent 11 seasons on the staff of his alma mater Duke University before serving the 2009 season at Western Carolina, replaces Ben Albert, who left the Blue Hen staff earlier this month to take a position on the coaching staff of the National Football League’s Jacksonville Jaguars.

He joins a Blue Hen team that went 6-5 a year ago and was solid on defense, ranking in the top half of the Colonial Athletic Association leaders in several categories. The linebacker corps returns all three starters in Andrew Harrison, Benard Makumbi, and Paul Worrilow.
