During his tenure in Green Bay (2000-2005), Sherman coached Brett Favre and the Packers to three division titles and one NFC Championship game. He also spent four seasons as head coach at Texas A&M, and was an assistant coach for several NFL teams throughout his career, including the Texans, Dolphins and Seahawks.

Now, faced with a team full of struggling young football players who have become accustomed to losing, Sherman attempts to turn things around. This 'Bad News Bears' narrative explores whether his coaching style will get the most out of the Warriors, while his presence has made Nauset a target for other Cape Cod teams trying to take down the ex-NFL giant.

“I came to Nauset High School to not only help build a football program, but to teach these young men some of life’s lessons,” said Sherman. “We are slowly moving forward, and probably learning a lot more of ‘life’s lessons’ than we bargained for at this time of the season. I am thankful to and humbled by the fact that NBC Sports has chosen to share the Nauset Warrior experience, its ups and downs, peaks and valleys, with viewers across the country.”

Mike Sherman was coach and GM of the Packers in the Brett Favre years, ran Texas A&M and has been offensive coordinator for three NFL teams. This season he’s coaching a high school in Cape Cod that nearly dropped football a few years back.

The first project of NBC Sports Digital Shorts is Sherman’s Warriors, an original digital series that follows former Green Bay Packers head coach as he takes on a new and different challenge -- coaching the Nauset Warriors in Cape Cod, Mass.

The six-episode series debuts this Sunday, October 18, immediately following NBC’s Sunday Night Football, and can be found at NBC Sports Digital Video and other NBC Sports Digital platforms for desktops, tablets, mobile devices and connected TVs. Additional digital-exclusive original programming franchises will be announced in the coming months.

New episodes will be released each Sunday and will run 6-8 minutes. Episodes will be accompanied by 1-2 minute “behind the scenes” clips that will give a deeper look at the players and characters surrounding the football program.
