New Pittsburgh Steelers play-caller Mike Sullivan has twice been an offensive coordinator in the NFL, with a stint leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2012-2013 and one with the New York Giants from 2016-2017. He was also a quarterbacks coach with the Giants in 2015, and during his time with New York, he made such a good impression on QB Eli Manning, that Manning went to bat for Sullivan when he was out of the league during the 2019 and 2020 seasons.
