This is the most intriguing hire of them all IMO. At first glance, your like "Huh, what?"

But then you dig into his resume and its solid. Hes had success with alot of different QBs and coaches.

It is?

He has?

Here's his resume:



How is that solid by any stretch of the imagination? The guy has bounced around more than anybody I've seen. His only successful stint was with the Raiders for 2 years.

To be fair:

1981-84 with the U:        Jim Kelly, Vinny Testaverde, Bernie Koser, Mark Richt
1987 with Tampa:           Steve DeBerg, Vinny Testaverde, Jim Zorn
1988-1989 with Cleveland:  Bernie Kosar
1990-1991 with Minny:      Rich Gannon
1995-1996 with SF:         Steve Young
1997 with Detriot:         Scott Mitchell
1998-2000 with AZ:         Jake Plummer
2001-2003 with Oakland:    Rich Gannon

I honestly don't care about that. Those QBs aren't even BAD except for Mitchell. I wouldn't give Daboll a break just because he worked with Quinn Cassel (who are both worse than most if not all of the QBs on that list), so I'm not going to give one to Trestman.

You missed the point.

The fact that he's worked with so many GOOD QBs (some of them borderline HoFers) says something about his abilities as a mentor of QBs.

Cassel to Chicago, yup.

This best describes the Bears decision to hire Trestman. No need to add anything further:

The Bears' hire of Marc Trestman puzzling, at best

By Mike Freeman | National NFL Insider

The last time Marc Trestman coached in the NFL was almost nine years ago, for one season with the Miami Dolphins. He has spent the past five years with the franchise known for churning out dozens of coaching legends that dominate the NFL. You know the franchise: The Montreal Alouettes.

So he's been away from the NFL for almost a decade. He has coached in an inferior football system for the past five in a country more known for hockey and syrup than football. And he's the hire for the Chicago Bears? Wow.

It's absolutely stunning than an NFL team would hire Trestman. Anyone can rack up huge offensive numbers coaching in Canada. They don't play defense and the field is 700 yards wide. Anyone can coach a team to a Grey Cup. My grandma could coach in the Grey Cup. In fact, I'm pretty sure my grandma has coached in the Grey Cup. Don't get me wrong. I love the CFL. I love Canada. I LOVE CANADA! I just don't believe someone who has been coaching there for five years and out of the NFL for almost twice that time is a solid NFL head coaching hire.

The Bears hired Trestman thinking he can fix Jay Cutler when Cutler is unfixable. Cutler always will be up and down, great one minute -- throwing multiple picks the next. Nothing is going to change that. Cutler never will be an elite thrower because his head isn't screwed on right. Unless Trestman is a therapist or hypnotist Cutler will be Cutler.

Cutler is a coach killer and Trestman is next up on the chopping block.

Trestman's website says some of the quarterbacks he's coached include Brock Osweiler, Brandon Weeden, Jimmy Clausen, Jason Campbell and -- wait for it -- Tim Tebow.

That's a stellar lineup. What, no Ryan Leaf?

Steve Young says he worked with Trestman in mid-1990s and called him a brilliant offensive mind. That's quite an endorsement, but Young probably was being more polite than anything. If Trestman is so brilliant, why was the Montreal Alouettes' gig the only head coaching job he was offered before the Bears?

And again, he worked with Young in the 1990s. In the NFL universe, that was eons ago. That was the Pleistocene Age.

Where Trestman can prove me wrong is if he follows the Marv Levy career path. Levy spent four years coaching the Alouettes before becoming the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. But then again, Levy is one of the more brilliant coaching minds in NFL history, and he was still eventually fired by the Chiefs.

This Bears hire isn't only risky. It's head-shaking and not in a good way.

I do agree with this guy about Cutler. He is what he is. Hes a finished product already. Hes in that same boat as Rivers, Romo, Schaub by holding their teams in some sort of football purgatory. They are all ok, but their ceiling has been reached. Teams dont want to risk dumping them for fear of getting stuck with someting worse.

Yep.

Until they get rid of Cutler, they won't be a great team.

Brandon Browner and Cameron Wake played defense in the CFL for several years. So **** you, Mike Freeman, you wouldn't win a game up here. And it's nice that you love a league so much that you can be blatantly disrespectful and dismiss everything anyone has ever accomplished in it. Do you tell your girlfriend how much you love her after you've broken her jaw?

It's professional football. It's not the NFL. But innovation, preparation, leadership etc are skills that do not change from level to level. Trestman has all of them. And considering it's the CFL, the fact that the Alouettes DID in fact churn out a prior HOF head coach makes you look like even more of a ****wit.

What an asshole. Don't die in an AIDS fire, but fifteen papercuts with a sprinkling of lemon juice would do him some good.

finally. I was worried both of you were going to be wrong.
