Steelers QB Coach Mike Sullivan in Contention For Raiders Job.
According to Ian Rapoport, the las Vegas raiders have decided not to sign kliff kingsbury as their next offensive coordinator after talks between kingsbury and the team broke down.
Kingsbury could now be the commanders offensive coordinator position, but steelers quarterbacks coach and play-caller mike sullivan has been offered the position.
Jeremy fowler backed up some more reporting, saying that washington’s eric bieniemy and pep hamilton were hired to replace sullivan in a new direction, which could be the case.
Since the dismissal of offensive coordinator matt canada, sullivan has been the steelers’ quarterbacks coach since 2021, and afterward, sullivan was promoted in-season to become the team’s primary play-caller. tomlin did not consider him to be canada’s full-time replacement.
Steelers head coach Tomlin said, “i’m looking at outside candidates and lining up the pecking order there.” “i am appreciative of their efforts in terms of what they did for us down the line,” he said.
At this moment, i’m looking for outside candidates.” it’s unclear what happened to sullivan if he does not land any of the open oc positions he has applied for.
The steelers could re-train him as quarterbacks coach, or the steelers could work out a contract to separate sullivan and his new boss, Arthur smith, to avoid any awkwardness.
Smith is expected to bring in at least some of his own staff members, but analyst glenn thomas has left the only blank spot left this offseason on the offensive side of the ball.
