Marc Trestman to be next Chicago Bears coach

[AceBoogie715]

I know some of you have mixed feelings on Bevell, but now that the situation is over, are you happy that he is presumably staying with the Seahawks?

That's nice. Losing both of your coordinators is not a recipe for success, IMO

Thanks for the info. Not sure how I feel about him but didn't want to lose 2 coordinators at once.

Yep, I like what he is able to do with Wilson. This way they can start preparing earlier. Last year the growth was amazing. Imagine our team if they started the season the way they finished. It may be soon that he gets another shot at HC

Arizona's still sniffing around Bevell, fyi.

i'm amazed that Arizona isnt pushing harder for Lovie Smith, seems like he'd be a perfect fit there

I don't see that at all. They have Ray Horton who has done a fine job with their defense, and they need a guy who can develop a QB and solve some of the offensive issues they've had. Smith was fired from Chicago precisely BECAUSE he couldn't solve the Bears' offensive issues.

Bevell is attractive because he has manufactured offense with some B list players and sticks with the run. Chicago is desperate for inventiveness, and Arizona is desperate for a run game. Actually, Arizona is just desperate.

Trestman was the better hire just based simply on experience. Bevell has never been a head coach at any level.

We can win a Super Bowl with Bevell. Not because of him, not in spite of him. As long as his Coordinating consists of letting Wilson do his thing and not trying to limit Wilson's potential with a conservative bend.

 

[AF_Hawk]

When you have RW talking about how he wants him to stay, I would say this is a great thing!

 

[Seahawk Sailor]

Yes. This is a good thing. Continuity for more than a year between quarterback and OC, please!

 

[HawkFan72]

He is still interviewing with Jags and Cards. Not over yet by a longshot.

 

[Sarlacc83]

Sort of relieved. He's still going to get a look, but I certainly am not going to complain if we maintain continuity and Bevell continues to get production from our offense with his play designs (and Russell Wilson's scrambling).

IMO, losing Bevell would have been more significant than Bradley. Both are excellent but the offense is starting to get in gear and Wilson seems to have a good rapport with Bevell's offense. As it's still progressing, a new offensive coordinator may disrupt the offense. While on defense, Pete plays an integral role so the defense is somewhat as much Pete as it is Bradley. Having a defense-minded HC, there shouldn't be a significant impact as it would be losing coaches on offense.

If Russell wants to keep Bevell than i want to keep Bevell around.

Agree with this 100%

I've been pretty anti-Bevell for most of his tenure but we really started to pick up steam at the end of the season. I think that more has to do with how quickly RW learned the NFL ropes but he openly likes Bevell and I think another year in the same offense will make both parties better. If Bevell can improve on first half game plans against solid teams that sell out to take away passing or rushing, we should have a top 10 offense. I really like the read option that we added.
