After listening to Trestman's buddy Troy Aikman praise Jimmy Clausen all day long one week after Trestman's buddy Jon Gruden ripped Cutler on Monday Night Football and called for Clausen and two weeks after Trestman sent Aaron Kromer to the media with leaks about Cutler's poor decision making, it starts to make one wonder whether Trestman would have been a success as a Head Coach if he had worked as hard on defense, special teams, and fixing his offense as he has in trying to paint Jay Cutler villain for his unsuccessful tenure.
Don't get me wrong - I have wanted Cutler out of here since 2011, thought the amount of money Emery gave him was ludicrous, and have believed since the start that Cutler is the wrong fit for Trestman's offense (is he a fit for ANY offense?), the latter of which Clausen proved at times today by running an offense that at least looked professional, which is more than what can be said of the one Cutler's been running the last month and a half. But the narrative coming from the national media seems a little too coordinated with the giant middle finger Trestman is giving Emery and the rest of Chicago on his way out the door in starting Clausen over "the franchise." Something tells me Trestman is continuing to influence the national media narrative in a more careful way than Kromer's clumsy attempt.
In my mind, Trestman leaves not only as an incompetent Head Coach, but a vindictive, devious politicker. He may be a good family man who preaches upstanding morals to his players, but he isn't exercising them as he closes out his tenure.
