I'm on the bandwagon. Geoff, I think most of us are excited about change and are thinking the best. I’m on the bandwagon.

I never saw that one coming. Maybe we should at least give him a chance? Or should we start calling for him to be fired now?? Surprise Surprise…. not happy about the new Bears coach.

His description of Trestman’s coaching style included buzzwords like ‘definitely a players coach’, ‘quiet’ and ‘doesn’t like media’, among others that led to comparisons to Lovie, which the writer seemed to agree with. I think there was even a comparison to Jauron that was brought up. Everyone is giving this guy glowing reviews of his work with QBs as his main and only selling point, yet a picture is being painted of a reserved, quiet, non assertive style, basically a carbon copy of Lovie in a lot of ways. If you’re telling me a guy like that is capable of coming in here and giving Cutler a reality check, I definitely have a hard time believing that would work. Also, if Trestman is such a smart guy, why is no one else in the NFL clamoring to talk to him now, or in the recent past? Jeremy Bates ‘works with QBs’ too and has been working with Cutler on and off for years, and how is that working out? The longer this search drags on, the more it looks like Emery is out in the weeds.

Most of the Bears beat writers are saying the process should finish by the end of the week, which seems fine to me. The only guy I know of that the Bears interviewed who is gone now is McCoy (Denver OC), who went to San Diego...I'm not worried about losing our guy due to time. It seems like the buzz is that Trestman has the inside track for the job, which would be...interesting. Certainly seems like a break from tradition--an offensive guy who most recently has been a head coach in the CFL? But I like it. I'm intrigued, and I'm willing to give Emery the benefit of the doubt, regardless of which of the three finalists he picks. I’m not worried.
