One of the biggest reasons why Trestman failed was the player revolt after they fired Lovie. Trestman was never able to get the veterans to come on board. I said early on that the only way that he could have succeeded was to jettison Briggs and company right away(before last year) when they started their crap. He also should have fired Tucker after it was clear that his defense was not working with the players that he had.

Personally, I think that the Head Coach needs to be a lot more of a prick or at least be more feared than Trestman was. He was too much of a nice guy in my opinion and it burned him because of it. I hate what that team did after Lovie got fired.

Defense was crap with him and Tucker but his system without Jay Cutler did pretty good once they put a different QB in Josh McCown he had almost record breaking numbers. Why couldn't Trestman do that with Cutler who is light-years beyond McCown?

He lost the team when he started trying to "grow the man".

Great point. Oh wait, no it's not because he ignored the run game and put the ball in Jays hands 80 times per game. Terrible terrible point.

Misdirection. Most players do better in certain systems. McCown would have done well staying in Chicago with Trestman. He chose the payday and the expected return to the mean. Good for him. The Bears should have been smarter and paid the right QB.

Not really. Plenty of players have done well for a stint of time only to flop later. Mccown has been a failure everywhere he has been.

You know, it just hit me now how he would be the worst option for Brady at QB. Good thing he didn't go there, Brady wouldn't be a fan of Trestman trying to grow the football

I've never in my life see a team quit so fast and so obvious on a coach.

Watching the packers game nationally was a low point as a Bear fan and when the Crypt Keeper himself, Cris Collinsworth, is calling out the team saying this is embarrassing then you know shit ain't ride.

All comes back to the head coach.


When you saw Marc Trestman, did you really see a Chicago Bears head coach?! Fuck no. Dude didn't fit the mold of chicago.

I remember a great interview with a sports writer for AZ saying how bad Arians wanted the job and when they did a meet and greet with NFL head coaches he saw Arians with a big engaging personality who fit the mold of chicago. Then, you had Trestman who, well..

Nerd.

Strawman. McCown was not a failure in Chicago. That's what matters in the discussion.

Everyone was Peter Principled. Emery was a head scout in a GM's body, Trestman an OC in a HC's body and Tucker an overmatched Pee Wee coach in a DC's body.

Now with Fox, Gase, and Fangio that is know to not be true and hopefully Pace is up to the task.

Martz and Cutler didn't need to get along, they worked well in season 2. Which makes me even more pissed they fucked over mike because lovie was a shit head coach.
