The Chicago Bears have selected Canadian Football League coach Marc Trestman as their new head coach according to Fox Sports’ Jimmy Johnson via Twitter.

The Bears have not made an official announcement yet.

Trestman, 56, has been head coach of the CFL’s Montreal Alouettes for the past five years, winning two Grey Cups in three championship games.

His NFL resume includes stints teaching the West Coast offense as offensive coordinator and quarterback coach for the Browns, Cardinals, Dolphins, 49ers, Lions, Raiders and Vikings.

He was Marty's QB coach in 88.

That sounds like a good hire for them.

CFL coaching legend!

Im actually surpised he hasnt had an NFL HC gig before? Hes been a pretty successfull offensive mind for awhile.

Milkman was probably right and we should have kept Emery around.

Milky is gonna be a secondary bears fan.

There's a lot of smoke out there about him, he's an offensive "guru" in every sense of the word and that rubs some people as kind of weird.

This is already being refuted.

milkman's walker is vibrating

(i keed)

"Okay, I need all 12 of you to march all 110 yards and score that rogue! Maple syrup on 3!"

LMAO

"MAPLEHA! MAPLEHA! MAPLEHA!"

Have you seen his resume? He hasn't unpacked his suitcase since the Carter administration.

As player:
1975–1977 University of Minnesota
1978 Minnesota State University
1978-1979 Minnesota Vikings

As a coach:
1981–84 University of Miami (VC/QB)
1985–86 Minnesota Vikings (RB)

SASKATOON! SASKATOON! HOSER ON 3!

Pardon my French but what the **** is an alouette?

3rd and aboot a yard

It's a bird.

Did you never sing "Alouette" as a child?

No were Americans

Yes, didn’t know what it was back then either.

Then whoever taught you how to sing it failed you. :p

That or I just didn’t give enough of a shit to pay attention until the word was attached to football. :shrug:
Besides I’m not sure “singing” is how one would describe the noise that comes from my vocal cords.

Penis.

and our d-line coach we just hired hasnt unpacked since the end of World War II

.

I would say this is the case for the vast majority of NFL level coaches.

I know this is milkmans guy,, but I cant see this becoming a success.

The Bears offense has been stuck in the 50's for more than 60 years. They continue to hire head coaches with defensive backgrounds (Ditka, Jauron, Wannstedt, Smith, etc.) and it was time they finally hire a coach with an offensive background.

This may be slightly "Out of the Box" but it's exactly what the Bears needed.

Bart did it for Patty and Selma on the Simpsons like 15 years ago. Find another excuse lol

Trestman makes good adjustments, gameplans well, and has two Grey Cup championships and another appearance in five years. While you may go 'but it's only 8 teams', it's still a very difficult league to win a title in. And the stuff he does to be successful in the CFL, his preparation, his game planning and adjustments, his work with his quarterback, his leadership, that recipe for winning doesn't change, no matter if you're in the CFL, NFL or Pop Warner.

If Marc Trestman had coached the past five years at NC State, nobody would have a problem with this. He's coached in a tougher league (I don't care what anyone says, getting all these guys from Texas to learn the nuances of the Canadian game is a damn challenge) than mid-major college, and he's had more success over that stretch than everyone except John Hufnagel.

He's an excellent hire for the Bears, and finally Jay Cutler has an offensive-minded HC who won't be out to instantly alienate him.

Good luck with that...

Looks like Jimmy was right. Intriguing hire if it goes through.

Anyone catch Emery's press conference after this season? Super impressive. Very thorough and he seems to get it. I wish we could have kept the guy in some capacity. I think he's going to build something special there in Chicago.
