WHY ARE THE PACKERS AT HOME?
No Excuses EVERYBODY was healthy. they had NO injuries.. what
they ran out of cheese. I hear a cheerleader winked at Rodgers or did he get use to throwing footballs at pick up trucks… and I just DOUBLE CHECKED THE PACKERS GOT SMOKED IN SAN FRANCISCO.

I can understand why some Bears fans might be a little anxious about Trestman but they shouldn’t be.
One thing about about his tenure in the CFL is the fact that you new he wasn’t going to be outcoached .
And don’t forget, in the CFL he only had 3 downs to move the chains …and now he’s got 4!
Relax Bears fans, he’s a good one.

Very classy guy and great coach. The CFL will miss him.

What is the reason he was on 8 NFL staffs in 16 years and was resigned to coaching in the CFL? Let me give you a hint, it wasn’t because he was this hot commodity. Having said that I agree with Bear fans and am happy with the hire.

Perhaps Trestman should bring Anthony Calvillo with him.

I know the Grey Cup might not mean much in the NFL, but it shows that he was able to lead professional players to a championship and then repeat it, which is one of the hardest thing to do in sports.

With the “big names” out of the mix, it’s as good a hire as Bears fans could have hoped for.

Pathetic, worthless little trolls with an unhealthy connection to the team. It’s just football, scumbags.

Oh hey…how’s that defense holding up in the playoffs? Oh…that’s right. Nevermind.

Might be time for ole GB to look for some coaches themselves, losers.

Also proved he could run the show and win titles as Head Coach in the CFL. This is much more creditable than say hiring Doug Marrone who was a non-descript NFL OC and slightly above average NCAA coach. The Marrone hiring should catch way more flak than us going with Trestman.

I’m glad he finally got a job.

This is totally brand-new virgin territory for them. I’m very excited.

The more I looked into Trestman, the more he intrigued me. This is so out of the box for the Bear’s franchise, and I love how Phil Emery has done business so far. It was reported on ESPN that all the candidates they (ESPN) spoke with, said Emery was the most in depth, thorough, and well prepared they had ever seen with regards to the interview process. He sold me when he picked up Marshall, and grabbed Jeffrey instead of a lineman. Yeah, they need lineman, but he went with the guy whom he felt would give the most bang for his buck.

Marc Trestman will transform that Bears offense into something special. I was hoping he’d end up in Cleveland.

The Bears, much like the Steelers, don’t fire coaches or make coaching hires lightly. They wre clearly in the market for an offensive minded coach because Lovie was a good coach who just couldn’t get the offense on track and other than Arians, Trestman is by far most qualified. You don’t replace a good coach with some unknown commodity or another guy who doesn’t have a track record of success on what’s been your problem, or at least good franchises don’t.

It’s hardly “out of the box” when guys who aren’t ready for jobs and are 95% assured to be failures for that reason alone are getting jobs left and right.

Until he’s a lame duck, they’ll give him time, which is a refreshing concept in today’s “fire everybody if we don’t win the Super Bowl” culture.

He’ll see like every other coach who’s had him that Cutler’s part of the problem and look to replace him along with Brandon Marshall because he’ll start crying once they get rid of crybaby Cutler. Question is who he’ll have his eye on in next year’s draft to re-boot the whole thing.

Anybody who thinks he is not qualified because he was a Cfl coach has no idea what they are talking about. If Emery fixes the O line, look out for the bears next year. Happy for you Bears fans.
