The Cleveland Browns hiring former Packers coach Mike McCarthy could have ripple effects in Green Bay.

According to Dan Graziano of ESPN, if the Browns pick McCarthy as their new coach, he could push for current Packers co-director of player personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan as the team’s new general manager.

Rob Demovsky of ESPN reported the same.

Sullivan, a former football operations intern in Green Bay, is one of the highest-ranking and most trusted members of Brian Gutekunst’s front office.

Brought to Green Bay by Mike Sherman in 2003, Sullivan previously served as a regional scout and director of college scouting under Ted Thompson before earning a promotion from Gutekunst in 2018.

Sullivan, who worked with McCarthy in Green Bay from 2006-18, currently runs the player personnel department with co-director John Wojciechowski.

McCarthy officially interviewed with the Browns on Thursday. He was the first interview of the team’s head-coaching search.

The Browns fired coach Freddie Kitchens and general manager John Dorsey after one tumultuous season. McCarthy, who was out of the league in 2019 after being fired by the Packers in Dec. 2018, figures to be a leading candidate in Cleveland.
