Detroit Lions: Darrell Bevell hire comes a year too late

Last week, the Detroit Lions locked down a big hole in their coaching staff with the hire of Darrell Bevell.

In Bevell, the Lions get a solid resume as an offensive coordinator for more than a decade:

  • Minnesota Vikings (2006-10)
  • Seattle Seahawks (2011-17)
    • Super Bowl XLVIII – World Champion (2013 season)
    • Super Bowl XLIX – NFC Champion (2014 Season)

General manager Bob Quinn and head coach Matt Patricia had hoped for better results in their first year together. Things did not go as planned. Moving forward, the Bevell hire needs to result in more wins for this Detroit Lions squad.
