Report: Seahawks fire offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell

The Seattle Seahawks have fired offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell after seven years with the team, a source confirmed to Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times.

Bevell was aboard for the Seahawks' Super Bowl win in 2013 and their return to the title game the following season.

Seattle missed the playoffs this season for the first time since 2011 as the offense slumped to 15th overall while the running game ranked 23rd. Only quarterback Russell Wilson, who led the team with 95 rushes for 586 yards and three touchdowns, saved the unit from finishing at the very bottom.

The Seahawks are used to replacing coordinators, but it's typically because they've been poached by other teams. Bevell would be the first coordinator fired since Jeremy Bates was let go as offensive coordinator after the 2010 season, prompting Bevell's arrival.

His lowest moment came in Super Bowl XLIX when, with the Seahawks at the New England Patriots' 1-yard line and driving for the winning score, he called a pass play that was intercepted.
