Whiz will land on his feet eventually coordinating for an experienced QB with experienced receivers.
Bevell and Pete have maximized the talent that Russ has brought to the table. In some ways, Russell Wilson is the most conventionally limited QB in the entire NFL. That is most likely due to his height. It amazes me that people are still deluding themselves into thinking this isn't true.
That isn't to say Russ doesn't have game-breaking talent, because he does. But Bevell and Pete, thus far, have harnessed that into something good in spite of some otherwise crippling limitations.
If Bevell can translate those lessons to Mariota (who arguably may have even more upside), then Tennessee may be onto something special. This is not to say Bevell is an offensive guru BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY DON'T NEED. They need a guy who understands the balance between scheme and letting young players play freely. He has all the experience that is helpful to Tennessee.
This is an outside-the-box hire that could work for them. IMO, this would be a more intriguing hire than some coordinator who's being carried by a legendary QB or legendary HC. Those guys constantly fail to work with young talent because that's not their experience.
