The Colts were busy adding names to their head-coaching wish list on Monday, the latest being Seahawks defensive coordinator Kris Richard, the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports (Twitter link).
Richard joins a list of potential interviewees that so far includes Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, Texans defensive coordinator Mike Vrabel, Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy and Panthers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks. In 2017, Richard interviewed for the Bills opening but returned to Seattle.
Richard took over after the departure of Dan Quinn in 2015 and fielded back-to-back top-five scoring defenses in his first two seasons. The Seahawks had a down season in his third campaign, but were plagued by injuries to their secondary in Kam Chancellor and Richard Sherman. Richard has been with team as a defensive backs coach since 2011 and oversaw the team’s “Legion of Boom” secondary rise to prominence.
The Colts could use plenty of help on the defensive side of the ball. In 2017, the team finished 30th in both points and yards allowed.
And yet…:No one ever asks about Bevell..
That’s because his offense consists of closing his eyes in prayer while Russel Wison performs feats of wizardry .
Russell Wilson**
Truth^^ Pete won’t fire him so maybe someone will do us a favor
Del Rio would be a good fit for the Colts
Every year I pray could someone please hire Bevell to be their head coach yet every year I am disappointed. I was so hoping the 49ers would since both teams like to sign the cast offs of each other. But they didn’t. I thought maybe they figured they could get some wisdom from him but alas they know what every Seahawk fan knows he sucks.
Maybe Pete has a bottle of his favorite Irish whiskey being imported straight from the bottler here to break the news to him gently. Maybe he is waiting for the Donald to show up and do it. Heck maybe Snoop Dog is going to come and say those sweet words we all want to hear Darrell your fired. Please can this be the year though? Put us out of our misery and get an OC that has a little ingenuity a little flair how about even more than 5 plays in his playbook.
