Trestman released a statement:
“I want to thank Virginia, George and the McCaskey family, Phil Emery and Ted Phillips for giving me the opportunity to be the head coach of the Chicago Bears. I also want to thank all the coaches and players who gave us everything we asked over the past two years. I have tremendous respect for this organization. Chicago is a special city with great fans. I appreciate the warm support my family and I received. ”
The Bears have also fired general manager Phil Emery. Emery is set to meet the media at 11:30 a.m. CST
The Bears will now look for coaching candidates with a few names swirling around.
