Sherman, whose resumé includes a successful run with the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League, was starting his second season as head coach after posting a 5-13 record in 2018.

In a statement released by the team Saturday morning, general manager Kavis Reed said the organization and Sherman had agreed to part ways, which was a polite way of saying the coach was shown the door.

The coaching change is the latest in a series of setbacks for the Als, who have has been taken over the by the Canadian Football League after former owner Bob Wettenhall and his son Andrew failed to find a new owner for the financially troubled team.
