The Detroit Lions announced that they’ve hired former Vikings and Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell to be their new offensive coordinator.
Bevell also interviewed with the Falcons and Jaguars for their offensive coordinator jobs. He had also come up as someone to watch for the Bengals under Zac Taylor, who’s expected to be hired.
Bevell, 49, began his NFL coaching career with the Packers as an assistant quarterbacks coach in 2000. He eventually worked his way up to QBs coach before being hired by the Vikings as their offensive coordinator in 2006.
After five years in Minnesota, Bevell signed on with the Seahawks for the 2011 season and spent the past seven years in Seattle before he was fired last year.
In 2017, the Seahawks’ offense was No. 15 in total yards, No. 11 in points scored, No. 23 in yards rushing and No. 14 in passing offense.
