The Chicago Bears announced Marc Trestman, former head coach of CFL's Montreal Alouettes, as their new head coach late last night. There are also reports that former Saints interim head coach Aaron Kromer will take over at the Bears offensive coordinator and offensive line coach.
Profile: Marc Trestman
Age: 56
Current Job: Head Coach - Montreal Alouettes (CFL)
-- Trestman is a 17 year NFL vet who held many offensive positions with various teams before moving on to coach in the CFL. Starting his NFL career in 1985 as the RB coach in Minnesota. He then took over as the QB coach in Tampa and went on to become OC for the Browns. Trestman has also held many offensive coaching positions in Tampa Bay, Cleveland, San Francisco, Detroit, Arizona, Oakland, and Miami. Trestman then went on to CFL as the head coach of the Montreal Alouettes. During his first year as head coach in 2008, he led his team all the way to the CFL championship. Although they lost, Trestman was resounded as the best coach in the league and was honored as the 2008 CFL coach of the year. In the following years, Tresman once again led his team to the CFL championship and won in back to back years (2009 and 2010). The Montreal Alouettes have won 2 Championships, won their division 4 of the 5 years, and have made the playoffs every year since Trestman took over. He has been regarded as an offensive guru in both the CFL and the NFL and has been considered for vacant head coach positions in the NFL for quite some time now. I'm pretty sure Trestman will end up as a head coach somewhere in the NFL within the next year or so. He would be a good fit for the Bears because he brings experience - championship experience, and lots of offensive expertise.
