Recruits: NY (Section 9/1), South Florida and NY (Section 8/11)
Greg Sullivan ’11 moved from video coordinator back to the Raider assistant coaching ranks in January 2017, taking over as the assistant coach for running backs.
Sullivan previously served as running backs coach under Dick Biddle during the 2012 and 2013 seasons. In 2016, he served as Colgate's video coordinator and assistant to the head coach.
In between his Colgate tenures, Sullivan completed a pair of one-year stints at Western Michigan in the FBS ranks and a fledgling Davenport program in Division II out of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
He was the quarterbacks graduate assistant coach at Western Michigan in 2014 under head coach P.J. Fleck, helping the Broncos to an 8-5 record and berth in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl in Boise. Quarterback Zach Terrell under Sullivan's mentorship passed for 3,443 yards and 26 touchdowns en route to All-MAC Second Team honors and the MAC Distinguished Scholar-Athlete Award. Terrell's pass efficiency rating of 164.4 led the MAC as Western improved its won-lost record by 6½ games over the previous season.
Sullivan then spent the 2015 campaign helping develop the new football program at Davenport. He was the quarterbacks coach as practice sessions began in preparation for Davenport's 2016 Division II debut.
Sullivan during his first Colgate coaching stint guided tailback Jordan McCord to one of the best seasons in Patriot League history in 2012. The senior tailback claimed All-America Third Team honors from The Sports Network and was an All-Patriot League choice after rushing for 1,708 yards -- fifth-best total in conference history -- while helping Colgate to a Patriot League championship.
During his Raiders playing career, Sullivan set the record for most rushing yards gained by a Patriot League and Colgate quarterback with 2,337 yards on 455 attempts. His highest season total was 898 yards in 2008. Both the season and career QB rushing marks later were broken by Gavin McCarney (2011-13).
Sullivan was named an All-Patriot League First Team selection in 2010.
A native of the Hudson Valley community of Monroe, New York, Sullivan passed for 4,996 yards in his three seasons at Colgate, including 1,952 yards as a junior with 18 TDs. He finished his career with a 25-7 record as a starting quarterback and was a key member of the 2008 Patriot League champions.
Sullivan graduated from Colgate in 2011, and that year received the school's Thomas M. Wilson '67 Memorial Leadership Award. He also was a member of the Academic All-Patriot League Team for football.
