AJ McCarron selects coordinators with Saban experience for Stallions Published: Jan. 16, 2026, 7:00 p.m. Sports Stallions coach AJ McCarron played for coach Nick Saban as an All-American quarterback at Alabama. For his coordinators in his first season as a United Football League coach, McCarron selected two men who worked for Saban with the Crimson Tide while McCarron was there. Offensive coordinator Tyler Siskey and defensive coordinator Kevin Sherrer have been on the job since Jan. 1, but the announcement of their posts with the Stallions didn’t come until Friday after the completion of the UFL Draft this week. “OC’s Tyler Siskey,” McCarron said on Friday. “Go way back. He’s an absolute genius when it comes to building rosters. He did it for coach Saban. He did it at Ole Miss. I mean, he has a track record of just being great. He’s also been an OC. He’s been a passing-game coordinator, a receivers coach. “And then my D-coordinator is Kevin Sherrer. Kevin was with me at Alabama under coach Saban. When Kirby Smart left, left with Kirby Smart go to Georgia. Left Georgia to go with (Jeremy) Pruitt to Tennessee. Ended up leaving Tennessee to go to the (New York) Giants with Joe Judge. Was a D-coordinator at Georgia Tech.” Siskey goes back even farther than Alabama with McCarron. The former Donoho High School and Troy wide receiver was the offensive coordinator for St. Paul’s Episcopal School when the Saints won the AHSAA Class 5A championship in 2007 with McCarron as the quarterback. Siskey crossed paths again with McCarron in 2013, when the quarterback finished as the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy and Siskey served as Alabama’s associate director of player personnel. The next year, Siskey was the director of player personnel. An All-State linebacker at Cleveland High School in 1990, Sherrer played tight end at Alabama. He was back with the Crimson Tide as a graduate assistant from 1998 through 2000 and, while McCarron was in Tuscaloosa, director of player development from 2010 through 2012. While at Tennessee, Sherrer served as defensive coordinator in 2018 and special-teams coordinator in 2019. After working as Giants’ outside linebackers coach in 2020 and linebackers coach in 2021, Sherrer served as Georgia Tech’s co-defensive coordinator in 2023 and Georgia State’s defensive coordinator in 2024. Siskey and Sherrer also both have coached at South Alabama – Sherrer as defensive coordinator in 2013 and Siskey as receivers coach from 2015 through 2017. Sherrer’s other coaching stops have included Tuscaloosa County, Spain Park and Hoover High schools. Siskey’s list of coaching and administrative stops also includes Troy, Northwestern State, Arkansas State and Ole Miss.
