There was speculation Sullivan would be headed for a fresh start somewhere with the Steelers hiring new OC Arthur Smith. Sullivan also interviewed for a few other OC gigs and appeared to have some options. 

However, it looks like he’s staying in Pittsburgh instead. 

Sullivan, 57, took his first coaching job at Humboldt State back in 1993. After several years at the college level, he took his first NFL coaching job with the Jaguars in 2002 as a defensive quality control coordinator coach.

Sullivan worked his way up to offensive assistant in Jacksonville before departing to become the Giants WRs coach in 2004. He left the Giants in 2012 and joined the Buccaneers as their offensive coordinator but he returned to New York a few years later as their QBs coach and was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2016.

From there, Sullivan joined the Broncos as their QB coach for the 2018 season. He took the same role in Pittsburgh in 2021 and filled in as the interim OC in 2023.
