    I'm not implying it, I'm saying it. Trestman will not have a huge say on the specific players brought in. His scheme will effect which way Emery goes, and in August he will be the one making decisions on whether to cut guys or not, but he won't be Bill Parcells shopping for his own groceries, a post-Super Bowl Lovie getting specific names he wants. If the offensive line is going to be "reformed" it is going to have to come from personnel men making the right decisions on offensive lineman that are not currently in the organization.

    I really don't like that Trestman has that lame website. But I find this amusing. http://www.coachmarctrestman.com/Buzz-about-Marc.html http://jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/081797/1c1rice_.html

    I'm basing it on his complete lack of exposure to top football talent for the past 8 years, the fact that he's a new head coach and working for an organization that has made it clear the GM will make personnel decisions while the coach will coach. Trestman will make decisions about the final roster when it's time to cut guys, but Emery will be the one bringing in the talent.

    The Bears are going to have to offer serious extensions to the staff they want to keep on. There has to be payback for forcing them to avoid interviews these past few weeks. I think guys could've gotten interview permission if they wanted to badly enough, or if there was interest. Marinelli is under contract, so the Bears could force the issue, but that may not be ideal, obviously. Well, by all accounts they specifically said their assistants under contract were not allowed to interview, with the exception of Toub since he was given a HC interview with the team, wasn't going to get it, and apparently they wanted to replace him with DeCamillas anyway.

    Lovie's effect on personnel decisions did not come into play as much until after he made it to the Super Bowl. i don't think so. lovie had a huge effect o how that d-line was put together, including the tommie harris and tank johnson picks. it was a complete 180 from the jauron era. That was more of an influence in what type of player they needed, not the actual individuals taken. They needed a DT to run the defense. The key is the personnel people selecting the right one. Trestman has been out of the NFL for 8 years, he's not going to be the one selecting offensive linemen.

    Given Jimmy Johnson's "it looks like" tweet, when it certainly didn't look to anybody else that Trestman was the guy, and given the fact that DeCamillas went from supposedly interviewing for the head coach position and then willingly accepting an underling role under Trestman, within hours of the announcement, I think this decision may have been made much earlier than has been reported.

    it's going to be real easy for trestman to address the offensive line with the names out there and the fact that not all of them will be franchised. the draft is also real OL-heavy with our future center for the next 10-12 years being there at #20, i'm sure. it's not really a job for trestman to take on. It's the personnel people that have to make the difference here.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    NICE! That's great. DeCamillis was rumored to really want the Bears ST job. A guess asst head coach is how he got out of his Dallas deal. Was he ever really a candidate for HC? I wonder if the subject of coming here as asst head coach came up in that interview.

    Where or when? It's going to be Thursday, that was announced this morning.

    The difference is you reform a CFL offensive line simply with the dregs of the football world who can't make it in the NFL. The Bears have been dealing with everybody else's dregs, and their own busts, for a while now. We were told Mike Tice was a wunderkind of an NFL offensive line coach. We were told he would come in here immediately and get results simply by being such a great line coach. You're projecting quite a bit here. At least they're bluntly aware of the real offensive issue at this time. What projecting? A Montreal media member telling us what Trestman will do based on what he did with a CFL team is largely meaningless. What the Bears need is a personnel man to select the right offensive lineman (and not go another offseason without even addressing it at all). It's not a matter of "reforming" (whatever that means) what's already there. Trestman isn't going to be the guy to go pick all the right lineman necessary for the job. And he's not going to magically fix what is already there. We've heard all this stuff before when Tice was brought in for offensive line coach.

    I don't understand what this means. The fact that the OL sucked so bad for so long is a huge reason why the offense performed so poorly for as long as it did. They also had an awful receiving group for all but the last year and even then it was one guy and a bunch of nobodies or undeveloped rookies.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    We let him go. Emery had to let him go after interviewing him for HC position and not giving it to him. I'm not so sure it's such a huge loss. Special team success relies as much on the emphasis placed on it by the people in charge as anything else. Toub was fortunate to work in an organization that did more for special teams work than the offense. Almost from the beginning they were drafting guys like Manning and Hester with a huge emphasis on their return ability instead of what they can do the rest of the time on the field.

    I'm liking it less and less. The west coast offense's time has passed. Trestman is going to struggle to get the respect of players and other coaches with his very poor resume. Much like Lovie's first coaching staff with the Bears, that was filled with a bunch of college coaches, I am very concerned about having a GM with very little NFL experience hiring a coach with minimal NFL experience that has gone stale. What he did in the mid-90's is not going to fly in 2012. Trestman is going to have to spend months reteaching himself the league. He hasn't seen an NFL talent in practice in 8 years, and that was with a pathetic Dave Wanndstedt team in Miami. What kind of offense do the Packers run? It sure as [expletive] isn't the mid-90's west coast that Trestman is used to.

I can understand your concern, but you have a bunch of assumptions and mischaracterizations in that post. No, not really.

    Not sure, but there will still be more turnover after the head coach positions are filled.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    I think Lovie's stoic professionalism plays much better in the NFL than in college.

    Epstein really gave that quote for a book?

    This is so dumb, nobody has ever said Holly Rowe was smoking.

    I don't even have a working knowledge of how the NHL waiver process works, but anyways, there's this: Chris Kuc ‏@ChrisKuc Some waivers news: @RenLavoieRDS reports that #Blackhawks goaltending prospect Carter Hutton is on waivers.

    He was once a great player. But I'm talking about the God's linebacker side of the story more than anything else.
