Well, that didn't take long. Mike Sullivan, quarterbacks coach for the New York Giants the past two seasons, has accepted an offer to become offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Buccaneers have a new coaching staff, headed by former Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano.
"We are very fortunate to add someone like Mike Sullivan to lead our offensive coaching staff," Bucs coach Schiano said in a statement released by the team to announce Sullivan's hiring. "He is a man of character and a complete football coach who fits with the kind of football team we are building here."
Sullivan was the Giants' wide receivers coach from 2004-09 before replacing Chris Palmer as quarterbacks coach.
No one really knows what sort of impact, or lack of impact, Sullivan had on Eli Manning this past season. It will be interesting to see how he does in Tampa Bay. It will also be interesting to see if the Giants replace Sullivan from within, or if head coach Tom Coughlin reaches out to coaches he was worked with previously.
