I believe giving Bevell the opportunity to interview for the Jags HC opening was the right thing to so.  Joe Cullen, who would have been a better fit than Bevell to be the next Jags HC based on what transpired this past season), should have been given a HC interview ( if he didn't get one ).

Nah, Cullen wasn't interviewed.  As long as he's been coaching, this was his first year as a coordinator, so it might be an experience at the higher levels of coaching thing.

That probably is the primary reason,  maybe even the only reason,  Joe Cullen wasn't interviewed for the Jaguars HC position.  

 Yet, even if it's unlikely Cullen is ready to be an NFL HC,  having the experience of an interview would probably have helped him 1 to 3 years from now.  

For the Jaguars organization,  an interview would have been beneficial for it least two reasons:

1.  Demonstrating to coaches from elsewhere that if you have success with the Jaguars,  it will be recognized with action, not just words.  A form of positive public relations. 

2.  Joe Cullen would have provided the Jaguars his insights from his perspective as the team's DC in the 2021 season.
