Vikings offensive coordinator Bevell believes in Favre’s return

Among the many people who believe that Brett Favre will return to play for the Minnesota Vikings in 2010 season, Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell has his belief become a special one because it is considered to be evidence.

Bevell could be the one Favre was most familiar with in Minnesota when arriving as new member of the Vikings. They got to know each other in the early 1990s, when Bevell was still a quarterback with the University of Wisconsin and Favre was already playing with the Green Bay Packers. The relationship continued after Bevell joined the Packers to become Favre’s position coach. Bevell was the one left Packers first and he found new job as offensive coordinator with the Vikings, and Favre reunited with his long-time friend in 2009 offseason. So if Bevell said that Favre was very likely to return, more people would be convinced the quarterback would really wear back the Vikings style of Favre jersey.

Bevell indeed expressed his confidence in Favre’s return last week. Although he insisted that he had not been told about the quarterback’s decision, he believed that Favre would pick up the starting job anytime when he returns. When he was asked about possible impact of the NFC loss to the New Orleans Saints, Bevell’s answer was somehow encouraging, as he said Favre never make decision based on one play. Instead, as Favre took the 2009 season as his career best, the return is simply more likely to happen than retirement.
