New Morehouse Head Coach Brad Sherrod Unveils Five Pillars for Football Program Success

New Morehouse Head Coach Brad Sherrod Unveils Five Pillars for Football Program Success
Posted By: Will Moss on February 25, 2026


Morehouse College's newly appointed head football coach Brad Sherrod has outlined his strategic vision for the program, establishing five core pillars designed to elevate the Maroon Tigers to new heights of success both on and off the field.

The announcement marks a significant moment for the historic Atlanta-based HBCU as it charts a new course under Sherrod's leadership. The veteran coach is implementing a comprehensive framework that addresses multiple aspects of student-athlete development and program excellence.

Key Takeaway: Coach Brad Sherrod's five-pillar approach represents a holistic strategy for building a championship-caliber program at Morehouse College, emphasizing both athletic excellence and personal development.

Sherrod's systematic approach to building the Morehouse football program reflects a modern understanding of what it takes to compete at the highest levels of HBCU athletics while maintaining the institution's commitment to developing well-rounded young men. The five pillars serve as the foundation for his coaching philosophy and program operations.

The strategic framework is expected to guide everything from recruiting and player development to academic support and community engagement.



By establishing clear priorities and expectations, Sherrod aims to create a culture of excellence that permeates every aspect of the Morehouse football experience.

Morehouse College, one of the nation's most prestigious HBCUs and a leader in educating Black men, has a storied tradition that extends beyond athletics. The college's commitment to academic excellence and leadership development aligns with Sherrod's comprehensive vision for the football program.

The implementation of these five pillars comes at a pivotal time for Morehouse athletics as HBCU football continues to gain increased national attention and visibility. Programs across the HBCU landscape are investing in infrastructure, coaching talent, and student-athlete resources to compete at higher levels.

While the specific details of each pillar will likely be revealed as Sherrod continues to establish his program, the structured approach signals a commitment to sustainable success rather than short-term gains. This methodical strategy reflects best practices in collegiate athletics and demonstrates the program's ambition to compete for championships while upholding Morehouse's academic standards.

As Coach Sherrod begins his tenure, the Morehouse community and HBCU football supporters will be watching closely to see how these five pillars translate into on-field performance and program growth. The foundation has been laid for what the new coach hopes will be a transformative era for Maroon Tigers football.
