Darrell Bevell Reveals What Made Barry Alvarez’s Wisconsin Teams Special | The Jump Around
Former Wisconsin Badgers quarterback and longtime NFL coach Darrell Bevell joins The Jump Around to reflect on Wisconsin football’s rise under Barry Alvarez, the program’s Rose Bowl legacy and what he sees in the current Badgers.
Bevell was part of the Wisconsin team that went from five wins to 10 wins and captured the program’s first Rose Bowl championship. He shares what made Alvarez such a special coach, how the Badgers developed their tough, blue-collar identity and why those lessons have stayed with him throughout his coaching career.
Now the associate head coach and offensive specialist for the Carolina Panthers, Bevell also discusses the evolution of quarterback play, drawing on his experience coaching NFL stars Brett Favre and Russell Wilson. He explains how coaches can balance a quarterback’s aggressive instincts with making smart decisions — a particularly relevant topic for Wisconsin quarterback Colton Joseph.
With Wisconsin preparing to face UCLA, Bevell shares memories of playing in the Rose Bowl, the incredible Badgers fan takeover in Pasadena and the importance of protecting the football against a defense that thrives on forcing turnovers.
