During his tenure at State, Sherrill has taken the football program to heights never before reached. He has become the school's all-time winningest head coach, elevated the program to consistent contender status in the nation's toughest conference, and redefined expectations for the Bulldog faithful. In his 13 seasons, Sherrill has guided State to six postseason bowl games, an SEC Western Division championship and berth in the league title contest. Sherrill, who is tied for 28th on the all-time Division I victory list with 180 wins, is currently bettered in career coaching longevity by only three other active coaches — Florida State’s Bobby Bowden, Penn State’s Joe Paterno and South Carolina’s Lou Holtz.
