LA Grant Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 IMO, he is the closest to a slam dunk candidate as there is available. He would be a perfect fit for our current situation. His credits: —Discovered and developed Russell Wilson, when no one else in the NFL was considering him. —Continued to innovate on offense after defenses started figuring out what they were doing. —Former QB, has a speciality in developing scrambling strong-armed QBs —Was the OC in Minnesota and helped Favre to his big year there, and one of the best years of Favre's career PFT reports that the Bills have requested permission to interview him. I think he makes way more sense than anyone else they're looking at. He's an offensive specialist who has shown the ability to make something out of nothing. Unlike Gase or McDaniels, he isn't leaning on a HOF quarterback. Unlike Reich, he has a proven track record of success. Bevell/Schwartz/Whaley is a power trio that I would have a lot of faith in.

Dragonborn10 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I would rather have Quinn but I will take Bevell. The Seahawks manufacture offense better than any team in the league with limited personnel. Lynch is a superstar but their line has been ravaged by injury, Wilson is good but not great, and their WR group may be one of the worst in the league. I would love this hire.

Then why would you rather have Quinn? We would lose Schwartz and still need a guy just like Bevell for the offense, but wouldn't get anyone who was as good.

Maguire's Beer Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Palmyra is the Mecca of the Mormon religion. Twenty miles from St. John Fisher. Yup. He can go to the Hill Cumorah pageant every night for two weeks during camp. While I'd like to see Malzahn or Briles, Bevell would be my favorite NFL coordinator candidate. He's innovative, gets the most out of his OL through his blocking schemes, and I love the idea of him and Schwartz together. He's much more appealing than Gase or Reich.

YoloinOhio Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) You will all laugh and idc. In EJs rookie year I thought he could be a bigger version of Russell Wilson because of his playing style, approach to the game, and work ethic. If Bevell was his coach, my belief in that initial thought could be revived. Edited January 3, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 All around, I think he's probably the best choice for who we have and what we need. Pegula can give Schwartz a boatload of money to keep him happy and just let Bevell concentrate on the offense and EJ and whomever else they bring in. Maybe even keep Crossman.

The Seahawks, losing Bevell, may not let Cable go even if it were to be a promotion for him but teams usually do. Unless they make him their OC, which is possible.

BADOLBILZ Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Marshawn said he was considering retirement. And in the same breath he mentioned the Hall of Fame. You never know what he will do but courtesy of all of his signature big plays and the impression that he created the Seahawks physical identity....he's much closer to that than most 8500 yard backs would be. Reports are that he is super tight with Cable. That would be great. Ha. The Cable thing alone is perfect and realistic. The Seahawks, losing Bevell, may not let Cable go even if it were to be a promotion for him but teams usually do. Unless they make him their OC, which is possible. I don't know about Cable's ability to call plays. The Hawks would need a playcaller......the Bills would not....so it might give them a chance to double dip from the Seahawks success. The job Cable has done with their OL is very good. They aren't very talented there. Their starting RT in the SB, Giacomini, went to the Jets and looked like garbage this year.

So Cable can be the OC for HC Bevell then. Bevell still calls the plays, and Cable is an OC like Marrone was an OC in New Orleans: a glorified OL coach.

I would be ok with Scwartz and a good OC, but I like Bevell above all other candidates mentioned at HC, presuming we can keep Scwartz happy. He is coming from a high quality team and organization, and has done a remarkable job, especially considering the lack of true offensive weapons on that team. Their success speaks volumes of his role in addition to the clearly great defenses they have fielded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We NEED a running game which requires a better OL coach and guards, plus a stud workhorse RB.. Otherwise, he has the D to try to replicate the Seattle success.

Otherwise, he has the D to try to replicate the Seattle success. My man, Seattle had both of what we need AND a defense... There is no "otherwise" to replicating Seattle's success seeing as they had a good OL coach and decent guards to block for a workhorse back with that defensive unit...

I don't know if Bevell is the man but aside from Schwartz......all of these guys mentioned are more promising to me than Marrone was. Marrone was a Modkins OC. He was a college coach for a "meh" program. He went .500. That doesn't mean all of these guys will be better but some of them will. Turns out the candidates in Marrone's year were pretty good but there are a lot of good offensive minds available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
