Sullivan Warns Seasons For Minnesota

Football Betting Lines

Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers named Mike Sullivan as their new offensive coordinator on Friday. Sullivan has spent the last eight seasons as a member of the New York Giants coaching staff and the past two years as the quarterbacks coach.

 

"We are very fortunate to add someone like Mike Sullivan to lead our offensive coaching staff," said Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano. "He is a man of character and a complete football coach, who fits with the kind of football team we are building here. His work with the Giants over the past eight seasons speaks for itself. Mike was an integral part of that team winning two Super Bowls in the last five years and we look forward to him bringing that experience and expertise to our club."

 

Fontenot has spent the past six seasons in various offensive roles with the Packers, serving as assistant offensive line coach from 2007-10 before taking over the running backs last season.

 

McAdoo had been the tight ends coach for the past six seasons, while Van Pelt -- a former quarterback for the Buffalo Bills from 1995-2003 -- had been the quarterbacks coach for Tampa Bay the past two seasons. He also spent four years with the Bills' staff, first as offensive quality control coach from 2006-07, then as quarterbacks coach in 2008 and offensive coordinator in 2009.

 

Before calling it quits, Moss caught 954 passes for 14,858 yards with 153 touchdowns. Only Jerry Rice has more TD catches with 197.

 

Moss had a troubled 2010 season. It began with the New England Patriots, but bitterness over his contract situation -- he was in the final year of his deal -- led to an October 6 trade to the Minnesota Vikings, the team for which he started his career. Less than a month later, Moss was claimed off waivers by the Tennessee Titans.

 

Moss spent the first seven years of his career with the Vikings, who selected the Marshall product with the 21st overall pick in the 1998 draft. He made an immediate impact on the league, catching 17 touchdown passes in his first season.

 

In his first season with New England, Moss set an NFL record with 23 touchdown receptions.

 

Prior to his stint at MetLife -- home to both the New York Giants and Jets -- Lamping spent 13 years as president of the St. Louis Cardinals, overseeing a team which won a World Series title in 2006.
