Mike Sullivan
Sullivan is the quarterbacks coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers since the 2021 season, a total of two years. Sullivan's record as the team's quarterbacks coach was 12-14-1, making him the least successful quarterbacks coach in Pittsburgh Steelers history.

Like many here, the entire coaching department needs to be replaced, clean slate after the '24 season.

Most know it won't happen sooner and to top it off, I hope not later.

Head Coach:
What should happen: Whether because of shortcomings or perhaps because both sides just need a change, the Steelers and Tomlin should part ways whether amicably, trough resignation or firing.
What will happen: Tomlin fully controls this.
Why: As long as Tomlin wants to stay he is going to be the Steelers head coach.

Coordinators:
What should happen: Both coordinators should be fired.
What will happen: Canada will get fired and Austin will survive another year. Austin surviving is pretty de minimis given he isn't calling the D anyway.
Why: The Steelers have a pretty consistent path with coordinators since Tomlin got here. Questionable talent search with very little looking outside. Ultimately, they generally hire an in-house name or, if they do hire outside, it was a questionable search. The coordinators are usually safe for at least two years, irrespective how bad they are and, assuming they are bad, have a life span between that two and five years before getting canned. This time, Canada gets the cut and Austin survives.

Final Result: You may want Tomlin gone but only one person is in charge of firing Tomlin and that is Tomlin. Austin stays and continues to be a traffic cone. Canada gets fired but given how the Steelers have handled hiring coordinators I am not overly optimistic (but hope to be surprised).
 
This is what they should do with Frank Reich, bring him in as a consultant -however- he would say the first thing that should be done is to fire Canada…lol

Would he even want to come here? He’d come to an organization with a HC that has neutered the offense for the past four years and has a staff that never gets promoted after leaving. Not a great place to boost a resume.

Just use the word "popcorn" every third or fourth sentence, and the job is yours
 
93.7 made some good points on the offensive coaching staff today. Where did they come from before joining the Steelers?

  • Matt Canada - was out of football after not being retained by Maryland.
  • Eddie Faulkner - hired from NC State.
  • Frisman Jackson - hired from a bad Carolina Panthers team.
  • Pat Meyer - hired after being fired from a bad Carolina Panthers team.
  • Alfredo Roberts - hired from the Chargers.
  • Mike Sullivan - was out of the NFL since 2018 when hired by the Steelers and was working as Army's Director of Recruiting.
  • Isaac Williams - hired from North Carolina Central University.
  • Blaine Stewart - worked his way up as a coaching assistant with the Steelers.

This is the type of offensive staff you'd expect from a newly hired coach with minimal expectations for a bad franchise.

As a coordinator no- consultant, maybe.

Or the type of staff you'd expect when the budget you're working with forces you to go dumpster diving for staff. My feeling is that Tomlin's coaching hires could be the result of limitations imposed financially. If you look at the approach to hiring and firing of coaches, basically underperforming coaches are not fired, they just aren't retained when their contracts expire. More often than not it's a contracted assistant who is promoted to the vacant role (see Fichtner, Canada, Austin, Butler, and a procession of OLine coaches since Munchak left). This appears to me to possibly have two motivating factors - the in-house guy was probably cheaper than going outside, and the in-house guy is less likely to want to replace under-contract assistants (which would require financial payouts).

The move that sealed my opinion was the process leading to the appointment of Khan as GM. The guy has been with the Steelers for years, yet they interview 16 other candidates and took something like 3+ months to finally give him the job. They were being praised for looking far and wide for the new GM, but I see the final outcome differently. You don't bring in that many people and take that long if you truly believe the in-house candidate is a high quality candidate - it appears to me he was probably the best candidate willing to work under the terms on offer (whether it be financial, authority, expectations, autonomy etc).

The Steelers are a business whose goal is to maximise profits, not necessarily win super bowls, and the three biggest costs would be players (which is basically a fixed cost because there is a salary cap and a salary floor), stadium costs (not much scope to reduce costs there, other than at lease renewal time, and then only if there is a viable alternative to use as leverage) and football staff (scouting, coaching, GM etc). Therefore reducing costs (which invariably leads to lowering standards) of football staff is where they can get the biggest boost to profit on the expenses side.
