Trestman's getting screwed. Having to win with the tin woodsman as your QB is just not fair. Lovie pulled it off twice, but he had defenses that could hold opponents under 300 points in a season in order to get it done, and he still only got 10 wins out of it each season.
Trestman got stuck with a calcifying Chicago defense that was in need of years of overhaul. Last year's team scored 445 points, which is 70 more than a Cutler led team had ever put up, and it still finished at 500.
I don't know if the guy's got what it takes to be an NFL head coach. I just think that he's getting hosed on this.
