GunnerBill Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Interviewed him in the Rex round. Interviewed their DC Kris Richard last year. If you really like Baker Mayfield he would not be the worst OC hire. If you are looking more at traditional pocket passers then steer well clear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBuff423 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 This is the one I didn't see coming....but he is DEFINITELY the one I would go get. Several years ago I posted about his influence on Drafting Russell Wilson and how he got the most out of Favre in the twilight of his career. Super Bowl ring and loads of experience. Honestly, I have NO idea how he hasn't become a HC already, but if he stays at the Coordinator position, the Bills would be outlandishly stupid not to reach out and test the waters to see if he has ANY interest in identifying and developing another QB and installing his Offense. Another positive? He knows how to run the ball and get the most out of his QB, as Pete Carroll has said, Russell Wilson was all Bevell - this would be such a huge "get" for the Bills if they found a way to get him.

YoloinOhio Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) Tom Cable next?? The worst part of that offense is the OL.

Frazier basically fired him when he went from interim head coach to head coach. But who knows? Frazier replaced him with Bill Musgrave and Bevell wound up in Seattle. But Frazier doesn't make the decisions, and one would assume he regrets that decision. I'd be all for a Bevell hire.

RobH063 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Did Bevell call the pass play against the Patriots in the Superbowl or did he call for Lynch to run the ball and was overridden by Carroll or did Wilson audible and change his call?

BuffaloHokie13 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I'm not at all saying it's what they should do, but if you bring in Bevell then it makes sense to hold onto TT and draft Mayfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) I will take a second to connect some dots. Bevell was originally hired by Mike Sherman who is a Mike Holmgren guy and coached with Andy Reid in Green Bay. When Mike Sherman got hired by Green Bay he brought Bevell on staff. During this time Brad Childress was Andy Reid's offensive coordinator in Philly. When the Vikings hired Childress, he hired Bevell. When Childress was let go and Leslie Frazier was made head coach, Frazier let Bevell go and he went to Seattle. So there are some connections there as McDermott and Bevell are part of the same coaching tree . 3 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: Pretty sure Bills intreviewed him for HC either last year or in 2015.

I think ANY Bills fan at this point, would take that kind of proximity to a Super Bowl win...also, if it was him, and it probably was, we can all learn right? This alone would set the Bills ahead 5 paces before anything else in the Off-season happened....and he'll be in high demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Cubed Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 That's a tough one, the guy has consistently been strapped with one of the worse OLs in the league. He's also hasn't had much in terms of talent on the offense besides Wilson. It's Wilson, an aging Jimmy Graham, a bunch of small-speedy WRs and no one at running back. The biggest one for me, he knows who to develop a young QB and build an offense around him, so that he can succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are looking at a mobile freelancer at Quarterback he would absolutely be my target. If they want what they say they want then I think there are better hires out there. I wouldn't hate Bevell here.... I'd prefer him to Mike McCoy or Chud.... but his offense is a better fit for a guy who can get outside of the pocket. Aside from Favre his success came with Wilson and TJax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stock kind of declined after that play call to pass on 2nd and goal from the 1-yard line with 26 seconds left, behind 28-26 in the 2014 Superbowl And so has the Seahawks offense, but I'm not entirely sure that's his fault vs. a decline in the quality of the OL and the quality of the RB Marshawn Lynch >>>>> Bready Lazy, but what's happened to Thomas Rawls? Without seeing many of their games, I'd look to the line. Have they moved away from the run first O that was their strength because they think Wilson is so improved as a conventional QB, or because they can't run as well due to OL play? I suppose he could have "creative differences" with Carroll, but it seems more like scapegoating - "we didn't make the playoffs so someone's head must roll" Though injuries are much responsible, one would have to credit the decline of the Seahawks D from 3 to 13 for the problems.
