Sarah Sherman Taylor

Sarah A. Sherman Taylor was born on May 18, 1983, in Green Bay. She is the eldest daughter of coach Sherman and his wife Karen, also proud parents to their other children, Emily, Matthew, Benjamin and Selena.

Sarah and Zac Taylor met in Nebraska in 2005, where he was attending college and she was a graduate assistant working in media relations.

“I remember the first time I saw her,” he says. “We were practicing on our soccer field at Nebraska. When practice ended, there was a girl in a yellow dress. She looked so much more mature, I figured she was probably 30 years old. I’m only 22. As the year went by, I learned we were the same age. I would run into her more often and I realized maybe I had a chance.”

They started dating not long after they met, but then came the hard part, meeting her dad.

The first time I met him, he was upstairs in his house,” Zac recalls. “He has his XOS coaches film set up there. I was as intimidated as can be. I figured, I can impress him by watching film with him. He runs a basic play back and forth and says something like, ‘What’s your landmark at Nebraska on this play?’ I say, ‘Oh, same as you [at Green Bay and Houston], the inside edge of the field numbers.’ I felt a panic at that point. And he says, ‘But aren’t your field numbers a little wider in college?’ At that moment I realized I had no idea what I was talking about. I didn’t say another word for 20 minutes. That was our first real conversation. He was throwing me a bone on something simple about football and I failed.”

Two years passed and Zac was ready to ask Sarah to marry him, but not before asking Mike Sherman for his daughter’s hand. At that time coach Sherman was head coach at Texas A&M, he knew as soon as he saw Zac what was coming.

“Zac flew to Houston right before he went to the NFL combine to formally ask Sherman for his daughter’s hand in marriage. Sherman, figuring that’s what was up, gave Zac a two-hour tour of the Texans’ facility just to make him sweat it out longer.”reported Sports Illustrated.

They got married at St. Anne’s Catholic Church in Houston, on April 5, 2008, the reception washeld at River Oak Country Club.

After they wedding they moved to College Station, where Zac worked as a graduated assistant for the Aggies under his father-in-law.
