Sherman Lewis (born June 29, 1942) is a former American football coach and player. He spent 34 years as a coach. Lewis attended Michigan State University as an undergrad and later received his graduate degree in education administration.
After a brief career as a professional football player, he was hired as an assistant coach for the football team at his alma mater, Michigan State, from 1969 through 1982. He went on to become the running backs coach for Bill Walsh, under whom the San Francisco 49ers won three Super Bowls. In 1992, he became the offensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers under head coach Mike Holmgren.
In October 2009, Lewis was hired by the Washington Redskins to serve as an offensive consultant for the team under head coach Jim Zorn. He eventually began to call plays for the team after Zorn was stripped of those duties by the team's front office.[1][2] Lewis was not retained after the season.
