After playing days, it took Herr several years to train and enjoy his sons ’sports teams (Aaron and Jordan).

He returned to the game as the first manager of the Lancaster Barnstormers when they opened the game in the Atlantic League, and released the Stormers in their first championship in 2006, which was only the second season.
