Seahawks shake up coaching staff, fire Bevell, Cable
By TIM BOOTH
Associated Press
RENTON, Wash. — What’s
expected to be an offseason make-
over for the Seattle Seahawks is
starting with its coaching staff.
The Seahawks fired offensive
coordinator Darrell Bevell and
offensive line coach Tom Cable on
Wednesday. Bevell was in charge
of calling plays, while Cable was
responsible for a run game and
offensive line that failed to meet
expectations.
It was a stunning sweep for
head coach Pete Carroll, who has
been immensely loyal to his assis-
tants during his tenure. Carroll’s
only other significant firing was
offensive coordinator Jeremy
Bates following the 2010 season,
Carroll’s first in Seattle.
“We are challenged by change,
but excited to attack the future
with great purpose,” Carroll said
in a statement. “I want to thank
both Tom and Darrell for their role
in helping take this program to a
championship level. I will always
be grateful for the opportunity
to coach and compete alongside
these
great
Southern
men.”

We’ll see what happens, but other
than that there’s not much to be
said about that at this point.”
While Bevell was able to
develop Russell Wilson into a top
quarterback and create an offense
good enough to win a Super Bowl,
he was never able to escape the
shadow of the play call made at
the conclusion of the Super Bowl
against New England. Rather
than a run from the 1-yard line
in the final minute, Bevell called
for a pass that was intercepted by
Malcolm Butler and cost Seattle
its chance at a second straight title.
While it’s not a direct correla-
tion, Seattle’s drop from the top
of the NFC started the moment
that play happened. There was
bitterness in the Seattle locker
room that Marshawn Lynch didn’t
get the ball on the play, and the
stigma hung over Bevell even as
Carroll tried to take blame for the
call.
Cable took nearly as much
heat for his inability to develop
an offensive line capable of
properly protecting Wilson and
establishing the power run game
Carroll desired. Cable was given
resources in the draft and occa-
sionally in free agency, but the
line never had the consistency for
Seattle’s offense to perform at its
best.
The decision to remove both
coaches may appease Seahawks
fans who have grown frustrated
with Seattle’s offensive woes
— including using the (hash)
FireBevell hashtag on Twitter
— despite claims from players
that the coaching staff was not to
blame for the struggles.
Wide receiver Doug Baldwin
launched into a passionate defense
of Bevell’s performance after the
season.
“We don’t execute as a team.
Offensively that’s what we’ve
seen time and time again is we
do not execute the way that we
should,” Baldwin said. “That’s
on us as players. You guys can
blame (Bevell) as much as you
want to. Truth is (Bevell) is not
the problem.”
NHL
Texas’ star guard Andrew Jones League-leading Lightning get
4 All-Stars as they play host
diagnosed with leukemia

AUSTIN,
Texas
—
Andrew Jones flirted with
leaving Texas for the NBA
before returning to school for
what he hoped would be a
big sophomore season and a
splash in the next draft.
He was on his way. The
shooting guard was the
Longhorns’ leading scoring
through the start of what
looked like a big season. After
a wrist fracture sidelined him
for a few games, his return
to the lineup was going to be
big: the Big 12 season opener
against Kansas.
He hardly played. Same
thing for the next game at
Iowa State. Two games, 20
minutes total. The 20-year-old
Jones had told his coaches he
was tired. No energy. Texas
sent him for tests.
Then Jones didn’t travel
to a game last Saturday just
90 miles away at Baylor. By
Tuesday, coach Shaka Smart
looked shaken and on the
verge of tears when he said
he couldn’t discuss what was
ailing Jones out of “respect
for the family.”
On Wednesday, the school
announced Jones has been
diagnosed with leukemia and
had started treatment.
“Speaking for our entire
team and staff, we love
Andrew and will do every-
thing we can to support his
family and help him get back
to health,” Smart said in the
university statement, and no
further details were released.
“We hope everyone will
keep him in your thoughts
and prayers,” the Jones family
said in the statement. “This is
obviously a difficult situation
for our family, and we hope

tournament Jan. 27 and 28 in
Tampa, Florida. Kucherov
has the most points in the
league and Vasilevskiy the
most victories in leading the
Lightning to an NHL-best
65 points so far this season.
“It’s going to be a great
showcase of a hockey city,”
Stamkos said. “To be able
to share that moment with
them is going to be special,
especially in front of our
home fans who greatly
deserve something like this

everyone will respect our
privacy at this time.”
Athletic director Chris Del
Conte said the school “will
do everything in our power
to provide all of the resources
we can to assist Andrew and
his family.”
Jones, who is from Irving
in the Dallas-Fort Worth area,
averaged nearly 12 points as
a freshman and considered
leaving for the NBA draft
after but returned to Texas
after attending the scouting
combine. His sister, Alexis,
was a standout at Baylor and
plays for the WNBA cham-
pion Minnesota Lynx.
Jones’ family has dealt
with challenges in the past.
Andrew was 7 in 2007 when
his father was paralyzed in a
car accident on an icy road.
Jones was ejected from the
car but escaped with only
some bruising.
The
announcement
of Andrew Jones’ illness
prompted a wave of support
on social media, including
Twitter messages from Texas
Gov. Greg Abbott and ESPN
reporter Holly Rowe, who
has battled cancer.
“Gut wrenching news
for Andrew Jones. So much
love & support for he & his
family. We are here for you ,”
Rowe wrote on Twitter.

Henrik Lundqvist was

“Sasha has earned the

the game’s most exceptional
two-way players and is
incredibly deserving of this

The surprise Vegas
Golden Knights got two

Andre Fleury and winger
James Neal. The expansion
franchise is atop the Pacific
Division with the most
success so far of any NHL
team in its inaugural season.
“There could have been
a lot of guys from this team
that got to go,” Fleury said.
“We’ve got so many guys
stepping up throughout
the
season.
(Jonathan
Marchessault) has 40 points
right now. That’s awesome.

tied for fifth in the NHL
with 22 goals, is the only
rookie and the youngest

said he’ll “be pretty quiet
around those types of guys”
at All-Star Weekend.
“(It’s)
deserving,”
Canucks coach Travis
Green said “He’s had a lot
of good things happen to
him this year. He’s a humble
kid.”
The two Eastern and
Western Conference teams
will play each other in the
semifinals of the 3-on-3
tournament with the winners
facing off for $1 million.
“I kind of felt like it was
not super intense the last
time when we were doing
it,” said Arizona Coyotes
All-Star defenseman Oliver
Ekman-Larsson, who will
be making his second
appearance but his first
with the 3-on-3 format. “I
watched this past year and
it seemed like everybody
was skating hard and was
playing really hard. I’m
super-excited. I kind of like
playing 3-on-3 too, so I
think it’ll be a good time.”
All 31 teams must have
at least one representative
with the divisional teams
limited to six forwards,
three defensemen and two
goalies.
