Under Sheridan's direction, the Crimson Tide's offense averaged 33.8 points per game, good for third in the SEC and 22nd nationally in 2024
The ground game was key to scoring points, with the Tide combining for 41 rushing touchdowns to lead the conference and rank fifth nationally

Big plays were a common theme for the aerial attack, as Alabama averaged 13.6 yards per completion to rank fifth in the conference and 18th nationally
The 2024 offense was also solid on third downs, converting at 47.3 rate that was second in the SEC and 12th in Division I

When DeBoer took the Washington job, Sheridan followed him to Seattle and coached the Huskies' tight ends in both the 2022 and 2023 seasons
The UW tight end room was a catalyst for one of the most explosive offenses in the nation in '23, contributing to a passing game that ranked second nationally at 343.7 yards per game

The UW tight ends also helped provide blocks for running back Dillon Johnson to rack up 1,195 yards and 16 touchdowns on the ground
In his first year at Washington in 2022, Sheridan helped UW lead the nation in both passing offense (369.8 ypg) and third-down conversions (57 percent) while also finishing second in total offense at 515.8 yards per game compared to the '21 roster that ranked 73rd in passing offense and 114th in total offense

In 2020, IU finished fourth in the Big Ten in scoring (28.9 ppg) along with fifth in passing offense (250.9 ypg) and time of possession (31:15)
