Overview
- The Raiders hired longtime assistant Mike Sullivan as quarterbacks coach, as first reported by NFL Network reporters Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo.
- The decision reverses Klint Kubiak’s initial staff plan that left Las Vegas as the NFL’s only team without a designated quarterbacks coach.
- Sullivan is expected to be the direct position coach for Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza, who is widely projected as the No. 1 pick.
- The 59-year-old won two Super Bowls with the Giants and previously worked alongside Kubiak on Denver’s 2018 coaching staff.
- He had been set to join Rutgers before Las Vegas circled back, a late pivot that signals a push to steady a 3-14 offense around a new rookie leader.
