    Doesn't surprise me....just look at when those posters supporting Kelly joined this site. Vast majority joined right around the same time we were starting to get serious about MM.....SHOCKER.

    Homers being homers....simple as that IMO.

    I just realized that this makes it look like Kelly is better than the rest. I should have wrote it like this

    Kelly < McDaniels < Shula < Jackson. To be perfectly clear, I DONT want Kelly

    Frankly, Jackson is the only one I haven't heard bad stuff about, so hes my pick for now. I just don't like McDaniels, didnt like anything ive heard about him, and i dont want a guy just because he was a patriots coach.

    Kelly, meh, idk man, just dont like how everything is all "his offense" "Hes going to prove his system works in the nfl", he has "his kind of players", yada yada. Like come in and build a dynasty bro, quit playing "mr passive aggressive im, fooling everybody and nobody knows it, snap the ball before the play clock hits 38"

    Shula, meh, brother stunk, he hasn't been great in his head coaching gig, did ok with the panthers offense, but i feel like its more "His name is Shula and he is OC of an 11-0 team" rather than "That guy needs to be a head coach because hes going to turn around a franchise and be a long tenured head guy"

    in the last 6 years we have hired Mike Munchak and Ken Whisenhunt. At this point the weakest of candidates probably feels pretty confident he has a shot at getting hired by the titans.

    we dont really know what kind of coach the people making decisions are going to want. I mean Munchak was hired by bud, because he was there, and Whis was hired by Tommy Smith because of a man crush, who knows I mean Whis was the last coach this franchise actually hired from outside since what? the 1980's and he lasted 22 games.

    What about Bevell from Seattle?? I know Seattle is having a down year, but he has coached up Wilson. He has a good feel for mobile QBs, and has been a great OC in Seattle. I know that does not always equate to a great HC.

    Just wanted to put his name out there. I haven't seen him mentioned. I have not seen a lot of Seattle the past few years, other than the SB; so I wanted some input from others.

    Lengthy Post Alert: Content about Darrell Bevell's career. Did some looking into his coaching background. Thought it was interesting. Not endorsing him for the job, just interested to see what everyone thinks.

    In 2000, Bevell was hired by the Green Bay Packers as an offensive assistant. In 2003, he was promoted to quarterbacks coach, where he worked with Brett Favre. In 2006, Childress was hired as the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings, and he brought Bevell to become the offensive coordinator. In 2009, Bevell was reunited with Brett Favre, but this time being the offensive coordinator, and having the play-calling duties. In 2009, the Vikings had a successful season going 12-4 and advanced to the NFC Championship game, ultimately losing in overtime to the eventual Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints. In the first season with Favre, he produced 4,202 passing yards with 33 touchdowns and accumulating a QB rating of 107.2 in which was his career best.

    On January 21, 2011, Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll hired Bevell to become the new offensive coordinator after the firing of Jeremy Bates due to "offensive philosophy difference". In 2011, the Seahawks went 7-9, and failed to defend their NFC West title in which they didn't make the playoffs. Bevell's offense that year with the Seahawks was 28th in the league. In 2012 off-season, Bevell was scouting quarterback Russell Wilson, who attended Wisconsin, his alma mater. Bevell attended Wilson's pro-day which very few NFL scouts attended. Through the off-season, the Seahawks obtained Green Bay Packers back-up quarterback Matt Flynn who experts thought was Bevell's choice of quarterback. Going into the 2012 NFL Draft it was thought Seattle was set at the quarterback position since they had Flynn and Tarvaris Jackson, but for whatever reason Seahawks decided to add one more, drafting Russell Wilson out of University of Wisconsin-Madison in the third round. Thoughts on selecting Wilson, Pete Carroll stated, "It was Bevell's project". In training camp the quarterback competition was thinned out between two, after Jackson was traded to the Buffalo Bills.

    In 2012, the Seahawks named Wilson the starting quarterback for the season. The Seahawks finished the season with an 11-5 record, and took 2nd within the NFC West eventually losing in the Divisional round in the playoffs. In Bevell's second year with the Seahawks, offensively they were 17th in the league which was an improvement from the last season. In rushing the Seahawks were 3rd in league, previously being 21st in 2011, accumulating 2,579 yards and averaging 161.2 yards on the ground.

    In 2013, the Seahawks finished the season at 13-3 and eventually defeated the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. Bevell's rushing offense was 4th in the league with 2,188 yards and averaged 136.8 yards per game. Overall in total offense, Bevell's team finished 18th in the league, producing 339.0 yards per game.

    In 2014, the Seahawks finished the season at 12-4 and attempted to repeat as Super Bowl champions. They came short in Super Bowl XLIX, which they lost to the New England Patriots after passing on 2nd and goal from the 1-yard line with 26 seconds left. Trailing 28–24, Russell Wilson targeted receiver Ricardo Lockette, but New England's Malcolm Butler made a game-saving interception with 20 seconds left on the clock. The playcall was universally criticized and was viewed by many to be one of the worst playcalls in Super Bowl history. "I can't believe the call," NBC color commentator Cris Collinsworth said after the play was run. "You have Marshawn Lynch. You have a guy who's been borderline unstoppable. ... If I lose this Super Bowl because Marshawn Lynch can't get into the end zone, so be it. So be it. I can't believe the call".[2] Sports Illustrated writer Peter King called the play one of the worst calls in Super Bowl history,[3] and so did retired NFL hall of famer Deion Sanders.[4] Retired running back Emmitt Smith, the NFL's all time leading rusher, went even further, calling it the worst play call in the history of football.[5] Bevell acknowledged making the call,[6] but also remarked that Lockette could have been more aggressive on the play.[7] Wilson said the play was a "good call", and lamented throwing the interception and "not making that play."[6] Carroll, though, said the last play was "all my fault", and called Bevell "crucially important to our future."[6] The head coach added that Seattle would have run the ball on a subsequent play.[6] "We don't ever call a play thinking we might throw an interception."[8]
