REPORT: Darrell Bevell Fired

[kf3339]

"IF" this is true, then Thank God! Just one more offensive coach (Cable) to go.

Also would love an upgrade at DC as well, and my opinion on next season will definitely change.

 

[edogg23]

I want to party but I just can't get excited until Cable is gone. It feels like this all for nothing if he is still with the team.

If Bevell is replaced with somebody like Sarkisian, this will be a downgrade. So let's not celebrate until we know our replacement.

Holy crap! There is a football Gawd!
About 3 years too late! What hard his defenders on sportsradio going to do with all of their free time now?

Brock seems real sad this morning, LOL.

Disagree and I’m not a fan of Sark! Just addition by subtraction will be a plus!

This makes sense. Like it or not.

Can we sign Scot Mccloughan then as well?.............

 

[Sports Hernia]

Wonder if Paul Allen demanded this or it was solely Pete?

I’m sure it came from Mr. Allen, Pete doesn’t fire his assistant coaches!

At the end of the year press conf, three dodged questions stuck out to me. The ones regarding coaches, Bennett, and ET.

This is going to be a fun offseason.

Ya...I'm meh on Sark, and the relapse rate for addicts is extremely high to be taking chances like that IMO.

Mike Shula was just let go from the Panthers. He had the #1 offense in the NFL in 2015. They are going through other internal changes as I understand, and I think we should take a hard look at him.

 

[Shanegotyou11]

Well lets hope we are a top 3 offense. If we are top 10? Still the same offense.

Very happy with this news as - whether you believe Bevell is a good coach or not -- it is clear that the league has solved our offense and a change was needed.

I don't understand the cries for Cable's job though. I've heard nothing but praise for Cable's abilities as a coach. Mike Rob even called him "Seattle's secret weapon" in an interview after his retirement. That holds weight with me as an honest, un-biased, and informed endorsement.

Bubble screens, goal line slants into an 8-man box, empty backfields on 3rd and long, refusing to flex JG; those were all Bevell designs. We've had a lot of offensive success in recent years on broken plays and in 2-min/hot-read situations. That to me suggests that the scheme has been broken, not the individual positions.

If Cable stays on and the line is garbage next year too, then I'll go get my pitchfork; until then I'm looking forward to him and the remaining position coaches coming back if the new OC wants them.



Completely random side thought which could be it's own thread: How much has this team missed Rocky Seto?

Quite a few rumors floating around that Cable is going to be the new OC. So don't get too excited over Bevell leaving just yet.

I will not celebrate another person's firing as it affects his family, etc. I will however celebrate what this could mean.

If this effects DB’s family from a financial aspect, then he’s worse at life then he is at football.
Dudes made plenty of bank.
We’re not talking about someone trying to feed and educate 2-3 kids on 40k a year.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I'm excited about Bevell being fired regardless.

 

[Scorpion05]

Idk how I feel about this. I didn't like his situational play calling, but Cable is the REAL problem imo. If he's not gone, or at least with a limited role, idk what to say

 

[Jville]

It's too late to be careful of what you wish for ...... firing Darrell Bevell and other coaches fixes nothing.

Their considerable execution problems resides with player personnel. Today's events are just the first shoe to fall.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

So you can't be happy about Darrell Bevell being fired? Ok
