Bevell, 51, who began the 2021 season as the offensive
coordinator under Urban Meyer in Jacksonville, was tasked with
picking up the pieces on a disastrous season after the team
fired Meyer in December.
It marked the second straight year that Bevell was tasked with
seeing out the end of a season as an interim coach. He replaced
Matt Patricia for the final five games of the Detroit Lions'
season in 2020 after serving as OC. Bevell has a 2-7 record as
interim head coach.
Bevell interviewed for the Jags' permanent job, however the Jags
ultimately hired Doug Pederson.
Bevell is a four-time offensive coordinator, starting in
Minnesota from 2006-10. He spent seven seasons as the OC in
Seattle from 2011-17.
The Dolphins are reportedly hiring Frank Smith as OC. Head coach
Mike McDaniel says he intends to call the offensive plays.
