With the new job came the responsibility of hiring an offensive coordinator, and before hiring Darrell Bevell to take over the Jags offense, Meyer consulted Russell Wilson, according to NFL Network’s James Palmer.
A lengthy conversation with Russell Wilson had a huge impact on Urban Meyer’s decision to hire Darrel Bevell as his OC after Wilson told Meyer about Bevell’s ability to get him ready to perform at a high level very quickly his rookie season.
