It’s always fun to see the mad scramble for information when a new coach is hired. Detroit Lions fans—myself very much included—did a mad dash to the internet to find stats, highlights, testimonials and any kind of analysis on offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell to see what the team had in their new offensive mind.
But rather than dig up what fellow players or fans said—as both come with inherent bias—why not take the man at his word?
I went through Bevell’s 10 years as offensive coordinator and pulled quotes from the man himself, looking for any signs of his offensive tenants or philosophy.
