After the dismissal of the hilariously-named mediocre playcaller Jim Bob Cooter, the Detroit Lions brought in his replacement on Wednesday, hiring Darrell Bevell to fix the offense that has been so consistent this past decade.
Bevell has been around the block in the NFL, coordinating the offense in Minnesota with Brett Favre as his gunslinger before coaching for seven years in Seattle with Russell Wilson, where the signal caller had five playoff appearances and two Super Bowl appearances.
Anyone who has been watching the Detroit Lions since Barry Sanders left knows that the running game is has been putrid.
