Mike Sullivan, the former Army star who won two Super Bowl rings as part of Tom Coughlin’s coaching staff with the New York Giants, is returning to his alma mater to become the recruiting director.
“His wealth of knowledge of the Academy and his wealth of experience in the NFL make him a premier addition to our team,” said Army head coach Jeff Monken in a press release. “He will be a great source of knowledge for our staff and players and will help us continue to raise the bar in our recruiting efforts and development of our players.”
“I’m thrilled to come back to my alma mater,” said Sullivan. “The Academy has always been a very special place to me, and I’m both excited and grateful to rejoin Army football.”
Sullivan was a defensive back at West Point from 1987-89 and went into coaching when his commission as an infantry officer ended in 1993.
After nearly a decade in the college coaching ranks, including Army, Sullivan joined Coughlin in Jacksonville in 2002, following him to New York in 2004, where he coached as an assistant until 2012 when he took the offensive coordinator job in Tampa Bay.
Sullivan returned to the Giants in 2013 as the QB coach and then became Ben McAdoo’s OC in 2016. His lat job in the NFL was the QB coach in Denver in 2018.
