According to the Pittsburgh Steelers official site, former quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan has himself a new title of Senior Offensive Assistant. The Steelers recently hired former Los Angeles Chargers passing game specialist Tom Arth to be its new quarterbacks coach.
When the move was first announced, Sullivan remained on the staff with the same role and his future was up in the air. Sullivan did interview in the offseason for positions with other teams but finds himself back with the Steelers in a role on the offensive side of the football similar to the one Brian Flores had on defense.
Sullivan was the Steelers quarterbacks coach for the past three seasons and in 2023 took over playcalling after Matt Canada was fired while running backs coach Teryl Austin became the interim offensive coordinator.
The team is making a lot of moves in hopes of improving the Steelers passing offense so it will be interesting to see how Sullivan works in Arthur Smith’s new system.
