Bucs hire Sullivan from Giants to run offense
Buccaneers Offense - TM - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Feb. 10, 2012 - 10:10 PM ET

Bucs hired former Giants QBs coach Mike Sullivan as offensive coordinator.

Sullivan is not a particularly well known NFL assistant, but he certainly made himself more interesting as the position coach during Eli Manning's best season. In Tampa Bay, Sullivan inherits a good deal of talent. Josh Freeman, who just turned 24, can expect top-notch tutoring. Mike Williams, 25 in May, projects as a strong long-term NFL No. 2 receiver if he keeps his head on straight. LeGarrette Blount could be Sullivan's version of Brandon Jacobs. Expect a vertical passing game and power rushing attack, like the system Kevin Gilbride runs in New York. Sullivan has learned under Gilbride since 2004.
