I hear the guy who supplies 0 with discounted crawfish is being given a defensive analyst position.

Then why aren't there any NFL teams calling for him? Why is he deciding to bunk up at LSU?


Last year was his first away from the NFL in 25 years. He’s an upgrade to our current WR coach.

Sullivan has been coaching for years. How often does a guy coach as long as him and only coaches 1 position? He has been a WR's coach at every stop. Isn't that a little unusual. With that long of a track record wouldn't at some point he would have had opportunities to enhance his career as an OC at some point?

He was OC of the Cardinals in 2003.

Sullivan is a great addition to the staff. We will finally have a WR coach that can get the most out of all that WR talent. Haven't had that since Henry was here

so now we have co-WRs coaches, Sullivan and Joseph?

He was an OC for the Arizona Cardinals in 2003 and failed in that position.


But you know, we're just supposed to believe the "he's a good coach" bs. Been a WR coach his entire career...Coach O must think we're stupid.


This guy likely wants a few more bucks for his family before he retires and Coach O gave him the perfect opportunity.

Sullivan is the reason we dont have Gilbert. Gilbert wanted to bring in one of his own coaches, O told him positions were full. This is because he promised to elevate Sullivan.


OR

We just hired an O-Line coach

Sullivan is pretty old to be out there recruiting.

Does anyone even know if he's even going to recruit?

Not to mention he's been out of college football for 25 years? So even if he does recruit it can't be good.

Its Pete Jenkins all over again, but without having Meatball and O to back him up.
Its a fricking shite hire from a shitshow of a coach and people are actually defending it.

Not defending it, it's just that your anger, understandable as it is, is misplaced. It's like you caught your wife cheating and you're pissed that the dude's not wearing a condom. There are much bigger issues here than Jerry Sullivan.

Our receivers were terrible this year. Guess O recognizes the problem and is trying to solve it. Let’s hope the old man does the trick. Or we can hope he fails.

Since he has no experience recruiting in the last 25 years I guess he better do more than a good job. I don't really think WR coaching is the problem though.

He was not allowed to coach players or even have contact with players. Tremendous addition to the staff.
