Klint Kubiak has called an aubible.<\/p>\n
Weeks after his first Las Vegas Raiders\u2019 assistant coaching staff was assembled and announced, Kubiak has decided, to, indeed, have a quarterback coach on staff as NFL Media has reported Tuesday evening the team is hiring longtime NFL assistant Mike Sullivan in the role.<\/p>\n
Kubiak, a first-time head coach, originally opted not to have a quarterback coach on the staff. While it was a somewhat unusual decision, it didn\u2019t seem that odd because there are several coaches on staff who have experiencing working directly with the quarterback, including Kubiak himself.<\/p>\n
NFL Media reported that Sullivan interviewed with Kubiak a few weeks ago and was planning to join the staff at Rutgers, but the Raiders circled back.<\/p>\n
Sullivan and Kubiak were in the same staff together with the Denver Broncos in 2018. Sullivan, 59, has 20 years of NFL coaching experience. He was last a senior offensive assistant coach with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024.<\/p>\n
Now, Sullivan is expected to be the direct position coach of likely No.1 overall draft pick, Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Klint Kubiak has called an aubible.
