Notes: Brett Favre calls Darrell Bevell ‘very brilliant offensive-minded coach’

Last week, a photo of a young Darrell Bevell fresh off a Rose Bowl victory as the Wisconsin Badgers quarterback lined shoulder-to-shoulder with an early-career Brett Favre went viral. The two would later reunite in 2000, when Bevell got his first NFL job as the Packers assistant quarterback. The two have since grown to know and love each other, and that was apparent this week when Favre joined SiriusXM to hype of Bevell after his first career win.

“I think he’s a very brilliant offensive-minded coach,” Favre said on The SiriusXM Blitz with Brett Favre.
