Do you think we should retain Bevell or fire him, and why?

There are plenty of times his choices make no sense to me. Conversely, there have been times when I think the offensive play design has been very good. I think he's a mixed bag, and that's all he's ever going to be.
If there is an outstanding potential OC out there that we could grab right now, maybe that's an option. But I don't know if that's the case (and pehawk, this isn't just a "name someone better" dodge). I don't like the idea of just kicking Bevell to the curb out of anger or frustration - especially since he and Wilson seem to have a really good relationship. I also tend to think that continuity is pretty important for a team, and I'd be concerned about how the 2015 season would be affected if we lose both our coordinators.
So, there. A bunch of words to say that I have no idea.

The throwing of Lockett under the bus needs to be adressed. This group in particular is sensitive and protective. If the trust is gone Pete needs to consider it.

Thankfully for most of us, including the people who make their living covering sports now have a better understanding of why the play was called. Still not agreeing on when it was called, which we should maybe have ran Lynch , then Pass to stop the clock, then run one last time. Nut it is what it is. Bevell should not be fired over that play. This is the same Bevell that called plays in during the Green Bay miracle drive and overtime, and the same Bevell who called plays that got us to the 1 Yard line in this last drive.
