For those wondering where former Tiger football coach Rip Scherer landed several years ago, the answer is: on his feet.

Scherer, who directed the Tigers from 1995 to 2000, led the U of M to its historic win over Tennessee, but enjoyed little other success.

After leaving Memphis and spending time as an assistant at Kansas and Southern Miss, Scherer is in his third year in the NFL as quarterback coach at Cleveland. It seems to be a perfect fit.

Here’s what Pat Kirwan from NFL.com wrote about Scherer when mentioning the league’s top under-the-radar coaches.

5. RIP SCHERER
Quarterbacks coach, Cleveland Browns: Scherer is starting his third season in the NFL after a long college career. His work with Derek Anderson has not gone unnoticed. Keep in mind Anderson did not win the opening-day QB job but instead came off the bench when Charlie Frye was sacked four times in the first quarter of the opening game. Anderson is now 2-1 as the starter and has been sacked only two times in 116 pass attempts. Anderson has led the Browns to 102 points in three starts, and Scherer has done a masterful job of preparing him.
