Excited to have him here to work with beard and our receivers. Anyone with his track record is always welcome. Keep adding and building Mario knows how it works. That ex coach up in Alabama got a lot of things done the same way. I hated when Mario went to work for him but he learned a bunch. I really hope that the team wins a bunch this year. If they do things will start to roll. Everything is good now add some big win’s and the recruits will be knocking down the door and hopefull The coaches will stay for a few years to build stability. It would be nice to see Mario here for at least ten years.

The Canes have added one of the most respected wide receivers coaches on the planet to its extended staff in Jerry Sullivan. A 25-year NFL veteran and Miami native (Jackson high school), Sullivan has been working with the receivers and WR coach Kevin Beard throughout camp.

He is considered by many to be the greatest wide receivers coach of all time, working with Pro Bowlers Anthony Miller (1992-93), Tony Martin (1996), Herman Moore (1997-98), Germaine Crowell (1999), David Boston (2001), Anquan Boldin (2003); Allen Robinson (2015).

Larry Fitzgerald, an All-Pro and future Pro Football Hall of Fame, credits Sullivan for helping groom him into one of the top wide receivers in NFL history. An article on his work with Justin Jefferson, who calls him his sensei, is below:

Any relation to the taskmaster Kevin Sullivan? RIP
 
If you're looking for a teacher of the receiver position, I'm not sure you could find a better person than Sullivan.

I've long-hoped for the Saban school of analysts who get to double-dip redemption tour. Sullivan doesn't need redemption, but he falls into that bucket.

But can he relate to the kids? If he worked with Herman more he might be like 55-65 yrs old. Asking for a friend.😂
