In the last couple of offseasons, Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell has had his name come up in conjunction with head coaching openings around the league.

It’s not the offseason yet, but Bevell has again been mentioned as a head coaching possibility. It is in the collegiate ranks this time, however. Brigham Young University is looking for a head coach after Bronco Mendenhall left to take over the program at Virginia and Bevell’s name was reportedly on the list of candidates the school was considering for the opening.

On Wednesday, however, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said that his offensive coordinator won’t be heading to Provo. Carroll said, via Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times, that he spoke to BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe, but that the timing of BYU’s search and the time left in the Seahawks’ season makes Bevell “not available” for the position.

Bevell’s work came under fire earlier this season while the Seahawks were struggling offensively. Things have picked up in the last few weeks, especially in terms of quarterback Russell Wilson’s play, and another deep playoff run for Seattle would likely keep Bevell in the mix for a jump up the ladder in 2016.
