After The Door, Ehrmann founded Coach for America in 2003 to inform, inspire and initiate individual, community and societal change through sports and coaching. The goal of CFA was to create a tipping point in the world of sports where coaches, educational institutions and sport organizations support and implement the idea that the physical, social, emotional and moral well-being of players are no longer considered beyond the scope of what sports and coaches can or should accomplish. Through a strategic and intentional focus, Joe developed InSideOut Coaching as part of a multi-systemic prevention and intervention model to assist the healthy development of youth and communities.  

Ehrmann attended Syracuse University, where he was a three-year football letterman in 1969, 1970 and 1972. Primarily a defensive tackle, he was an All-American selection in 1970. He was named to the university's football All-Century Team on October 28, 1999. He was also the recipient of the George Arents Pioneers Medal, the university's highest alumni honor, in 2004 and also lettered in lacrosse.

In 1978, Ehrmann watched his 19-year-old brother Billy lose his five-month battle with cancer. This experience caused Ehrmann to rethink and reorder his priorities in life. Ehrmann spearheaded the construction of a Ronald McDonald House in Baltimore in memory of Billy, becoming a founding board member. In the off-season, Ehrmann attended classes at Dallas Theological Seminary and, following his football career, he attended Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, specializing in urban ministry. He was ordained in 1985.
