So the RB coach Faulkner will handle day-to-day OC duties, but QB coach Sullivan will call the plays in game? What’s the logic here? I’m wondering why not make Sullivan the interim OC period. I want one guy involved in everything an OC needs to be thinking about. Is there a method to this madness?
I think you are reading too much into this. Sullivan will be involved in game planning too. It’s not coaches only speak to one another on game day.
Heck, all the offensive coaches…along with Mike Tomlin will be strategizing throughout the week and implementing that plan in practice. They do the same on defense throughout the week.
Faulkner and Sullivan will be working together. Sullivan has more NFL experience, which is likely why he’s going to do the in game play calling.
I mean, we don’t know the specifics. Maybe Sullivan said “man…I’ve done this job(OC) a few times, I don’t want the time commitment or the stress”
Faulkner, who was only OC for 2 years at Ball State and his only NFL experience is his stint here in Pittsburgh.
Maybe due to his lack of NFL experience, either he doesn’t feel comfortable or Tomlin doesn’t feel comfortable with calling the plays in game.
But, they will be on the same page come game day.
