Why Darrell Bevell is legitimate candidate to be next Detroit Lions head coach

The Detroit Lions lost four of five games with Darrell Bevell as interim head coach, but with the team looking for the right culture fit for 2021 and beyond, Bevell has emerged as a legitimate candidate for the full-time job.

Bevell became the third known candidate to interview for the head coaching job on Tuesday morning, joining ex-Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis and Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy.
