A few weeks ago, then Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell admitted that he’s been chasing the dream of becoming an NFL head coach for the entirety of his 20 years of coaching in the big leagues.
“I’ve been chasing it for a while,” Bevell said. “I think the most important thing for me to do—I always say this—is do the job that I have right now the best to my abilities and let all that other stuff take care of itself.”
Well, on Saturday, the rest took care of itself. Head coach Matt Patricia and general manager Bob Quinn were relieved of their duties, and Bevell was promoted to interim head coach.
