Report: Cardinals set to interview Seahawks coordinator Darrell Bevell

Jan 16, 2013, 3:08 AM | Updated: 3:08 am

The Arizona Cardinals, appearing to have missed out on top choices Andy Reid and Mike McCoy, have apparently added another name to their list of head coaching candidates.

According to NFL.com insider Ian Rapoport, the team has interest in Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell.

Bevell would be just the latest in a growing list of offensive-minded coaches the Cardinals are looking at to replace the fired Ken Whisenhunt.

Bevell, 42, has been Seattle’s offensive coordinator for the last two seasons. Prior to heading northwest he held the same position with the Minnesota Vikings.

The Seahawks have been an excellent running team in Bevell’s two seasons, and this past year made it to the second round of the playoffs with rookie quarterback Russell Wilson under center.

Bevell, who is a 1988 graduate of Chaparral High School in the Valley, has already interviewed with the Chicago Bears, and may be chatting with the Jacksonville Jaguars as well.

Thus far the Cardinals have spoken with the aforementioned McCoy, as well as Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden and Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley, as well as current Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton.

A look at how the Cardinals’ coaching search has unfolded can be viewed in this timeline.
