The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have added an offensive coordinator to Greg Schiano’s coaching staff when they hired New York Giants quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan Friday night.
“We are very fortunate to add someone like Mike Sullivan to lead our offensive coaching staff,” said Schiano in an official press release by the Buccaneers. “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.”
The Buccaneers were the last team to hire a head coach this season, which made it tougher for them to find an offensive and defensive coordinator. The Bucs first tried to attempt to sign Arizona Cardinals WR coach, John McNulty, but were denied permission to interview him.
Sullivan spent the last eight seasons with the Giants. He spent six seasons as the Giants’ wide receivers coach and has has coached Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning for the past two years as the quarterbacks coach.
