I would be disappointed, although not devastated by this hire. He's older than and has been out of the NFL longer than both Gruden and Cowher. His NFL resume is scattered, at best. His last American job was as an OC at a third rate college team. I question how much respect he has among NFL coaches and how much pull he will have in trying to bring quality ones on to this staff. Theoretically he could keep the entire defensive staff in place, plus Bates as his OC, and then he'd just have to fill out the offensive underlings. But that is going to be important. I completely agree. I know you don't agree with my Cowher and Gruden reservations (I'd live with Gruden though), but like you said...Trestman has been out of the NFL for far longer than either of them. Like you said, too, his offensive staff would be very important, given how long it's been since he's been involved in an NFL offense. Disappointed though not devastated would be a perfect description.
