Former North Carolina State football coach Dick Sheridan, who helped turn the program around in the late 1980s and early 90s, died on Thursday, the university announced.
."He did so much to build the football program at NC State and impacted many players, coaches and staff during his time as coach. I enjoyed getting to know him during my time here."
Sheridan got his start coaching at Furman, where he spent four seasons. He led the Paladins to the Division I-AA title game in 1985, where they lost by two points to Georgia Southern, and he holds the best winning percentage in Furman history. Sheridan then made the jump to NC State in 1986 and took over a program that had three consecutive 3-8 seasons. He compiled a 59-29-3 overall record in seven seasons with the Wolfpack, and reached a bowl game in all but one season.
Sheridan then resigned after the 1992 season, citing health reasons and the death of his friend and NC State basketball coach Jim Valvano. He did not coach again. Sheridan was elected into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2020. "Today is an incredibly sad day for me personally, as well as for so many others, to hear of the passing of revered Coach Dick Sheridan," Furman coach Clay Hendrix, who played for Sheridan at Furman and coached with him at NC State,."The lessons he taught and example he set for so many still resonate with us all. I can assure you there are a bunch of older guys like me with incredibly heavy hearts today.
