Darrell Bevell will get an opportunity to prove his worth as the interim head coach of the Detroit Lions. This comes after the firing of both Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia.

Bevell has been the offensive coordinator for the Lions since the start of the 2019 season. According to an AP report, he’s excited about the opportunity to be the head coach:

“I hate the circumstances with which it happened, but it’s an opportunity,” said Bevell, who is now Detroit’s interim coach. “You’ve got to take full advantage of opportunities that you’re given, however they come your way. Like I told the players, I’m jacked, I’m excited. I get a five-game audition.”
