That decision will be up the HC.

Which may very well be MM. It would nice to not have a rookie head coach for the first time since Parcells. Yeah he wasn't very successful with the lions but few people had been with the lions.

Darrell Bevell is the guy Idzik would consider. If he's the HC, he'd most likely keep MM. As a matter of fact, that may be why MM is here...

If that's the case, I'm okay with MM remaining. While not a fan of MM, I'm a fan of Bevell and he could add a lot more say to the offense than Rex currently will. MM needs to be contained. He's highly over-rated as an OC. Some nice numbers, but zero championships and offenses that sputter when you need them to come through the most.

If MM was promoted to HC the fan base would revolt and burn down Florham Park. People had problems in Detroit, but he had problems. It'll never happen.

According to John Clayton of ESPN, the Seahawks gave Bevell a new contract to remain as their offensive coordinator.

Bevell was one of three finalists for the Chicago Bears job that ultimately went to Marc Trestman. Bevell interviewed with the Arizona Cardinals on Wednesday before Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians accepted the job Thursday evening.

Bevell was also scheduled to interview with the Jacksonville Jaguars before Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley took the job Thursday morning.

Part of the reason Bevell was in demand was because of the improvement of the Seahawks offense over the final half of the season. Seattle had been averaging just 16.6 points per game through the first seven weeks of the season. The Seahawks added tweaked their offense and added more zone-read concepts to cater to quarterback Russell Wilson mid-season and the offense took off.

The Seahawks went 8-3 over the final 11 games of the season (including the playoffs) and averaging 31.6 points per game over that span.

Interesting! And good call about Bevell.
