Russell Wilson’s list of career accomplishments may also include doing something that Brett Favre never was able to pull off: Getting Darrell Bevell a head-coaching job.

Bevell, who never gained much if any steam as a head-coaching candidate while tutoring Brett Favre (or, for that matter, Tarvaris Jackson), has now landed on the “A” list after a single season with Wilson.

A finalist for the head-coaching job in Chicago, Bevell has now landed on the interview list in Arizona, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Bevell, who also will interview with the Jaguars, joins a short list with the Cardinals, which includes only Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden and current Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton. The Cardinals were believed to be extremely interested in new Chargers coach Mike McCoy, with the apparent goal of keeping Horton in charge of the defense and pumping up an offense with perhaps the worst quarterback depth chart in all of football.

Now that it’s down to Gruden and Horton, Bevell becomes an intriguing intra-division option.

Of course, the current status of the NFC West could make the Cardinals’ job even less attractive. With a pair of elite teams in Seattle and San Francisco and the Rams on the rise, the next coach hired by the Cardinals could end up being the next coach fired by the Cardinals before too long.
