Tampa, FL (Sports Network) - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers named Mike Sullivan as
their new offensive coordinator on Friday.
Sullivan has spent the last eight seasons as a member of the New York Giants
coaching staff and the past two years as the quarterbacks coach.
Under Sullivan, Giants quarterback Eli Manning has had his two most successful
seasons of his career, including setting single-season franchise records of
359 completions and 4,933 yards this past season en route to earning MVP
honors at Super Bowl XLVI.
"We are very fortunate to add someone like Mike Sullivan to lead our offensive
coaching staff," said Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano. "He is a man of
character and a complete football coach, who fits with the kind of football
team we are building here. His work with the Giants over the past eight
seasons speaks for itself. Mike was an integral part of that team winning two
Super Bowls in the last five years and we look forward to him bringing that
experience and expertise to our club."
Prior to coaching the quarterbacks, Sullivan spent six seasons as the Giants
wide receivers coach. His other NFL coaching experience includes being a
defensive quality control coach and an offensive assistant with the
Jacksonville Jaguars.
