Klint Kubiak and the Las Vegas Raiders announced their coaching staff on March 1, seemingly finalizing their group for the 2026 season. However, on Tuesday night, they made a late addition to Kubiak’s staff.
The team announced Mike Sullivan has been named the team’s quarterbacks coach. This will be Sullivan’s 21st season coaching in the NFL. He did not coach in 2025, but he last served as the Steelers’ senior offensive assistant in 2024 under Mike Tomlin. Prior to that, he was Pittsburgh’s quarterbacks coach from 2021-2023.

Now, Sullivan, 59, will most likely be tabbed to coach rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza, the projected No. 1 overall pick to Las Vegas.
This is Sullivan’s fifth time being in the role of quarterbacks coach, previously holding that title with the Giants in 2011-2012 and in 2015, with the Broncos in 2018 and the Steelers from 2021-2023.
He’s won two Super Bowls in his career, both as a member of the Giants’ coaching staff.
