Ranking NFL Coaching Hires: Chiefs, Eagles, Cardinals, Chargers, Bears and More
6. Chicago – Marc Trestman is arguably the second most qualified coach on this list (behind Reid), but he drops down significantly because he hasn’t coached in the NFL in almost a decade, and a lot has changed since he’s been away. Trestman has spent the last five years as a head coach in the CFL, so being a head coach won’t be an issue, but readjusting to the NFL could be. That being said, Trestman has a long history of working with quarterbacks, and with the Bears having a talented, yet underachieving, quarterback in place in Jay Cutler, Trestman could end up being a good pick to help both Cutler and the Bears get to the next level.
No doubt Trestman garners respect but his lack of NFL experience and long absence from the ever evolving world of the NFL are cause for concern.
