No, it would've been great if he somehow stayed and Roman left, but the problem is they saw eye to eye on it, they agreed on it. So really, how much change would we have got? Was Roman really the problem? Or was it systemic?
For an OC that continually made something out of nothing for that offense, I fail to see why one play call that your HC was also a go on is worth being fired.
And don't think for a second that Bevell is the one who hates Lynch and wants to go away from him. The whole Hawks organization despises Lynch and his antics.
Pete's a run-first guy, which makes it even more baffling. Bevell consistently throws it in short-yardage situations, it's fucking maddening.
Bevell didn't make something out of nothing. Our intermediate passing game is practically non-existent, and most of our passing yards come on broken plays when Russell finds someone open after scrambling for 5+ seconds.
Bevell doesn't hate Lynch. He's just a sucker that goes by what the textbook tells him to do instead of using his fucking brain and thinking about the situation for a second.
1st and inches on the goal line with 30 seconds to go to win the game? Well, there's single coverage on the outside, better throw it three times!
