Mike Sullivan Gratified To Find Open-Minded, Willing Pupil In Ben Roethlisberger

The Pittsburgh Steelers are an organization known for their stability, but sometimes they might have too much of it, to the point that it descends into stagnation. Perhaps, for example, over time, they have allowed quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to grow too comfortable, in the system, in his quarterback room.

Between Mark Whipple, Ken Anderson, and then Randy Fichtner, Roethlisberger hasn’t had to deal with a lot of change over time with his direct position coach, at least until recently. Fichtner was in his ear for a decade, but Matt Canada was hired to take over last year, and now it’s Mike Sullivan, with Canada taking Fichtner’s jot as offensive coordinator.
