    I fail to see any evidence that is the deal with McClellin. He was widely regarded as a late riser around the league. He was high second rounder at minimum by the time the draft rolled around. This wasn't some Jerry Angelo over-reach. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    In scouring possible names for DC if they don't go with Hoke; Mel Tucker. You have to figure he leaves Jax now and he's led some good defenses in the past. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    He can do it for a year. If he waits longer than that time will pass him and he'll be a LB coach and wishing he could be DC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    This just in: Trestman says nice things about guy who's draft stock he was hired to help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    This is what i read on another board: Trestman was with Seifert, then Seifert got fired. He was with Bill Callahan, then Callahan got fired. He was with Dave McGinnis, then McGinnis got fired. Assistants live a vagabond lifestyle. Longevity of stay is not the norm - it's the reason Trestman went to the CFL. So at least some instances of him moving on when a new HC comes in. Maybe if you looked further some other moves were upgrades. And there have been results offensively, no matter what decision makers decide about him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Emery is an info junkie. He'll pick Treatman's brain about players and get tons of feedback. When its decision time, it will be Emery's to make. But Emery will obviously be influenced after picking his brain, just as he will be influenced by scouts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    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'd offer a serious extension to Marinelli and the DB coach. If Babich wants to force his way out thats fine. Not sure about anyone else, but the DB coach is the only guy I've ever heard about being a candidate for promotion, although if there was an actual opportunity for a DC promotion I'm sure Emery would have let him go, and still would. If Marinelli stays it shouldn't matter too much for the other D coaches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    If Marinelli doesn't stay the Bears should hire Lovie as DC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    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. Good thing its minimal experience. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'm pretty confident Trestman will be calling the plays so Kromer is mostly the OL coach I'm guessing. Still bring in some knowledge from Sean Payton is a positive. And I wonder is Carmichael endorsed Kromer also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The McCoy thing was interesting st first. But I think the whole "hey he can fit his offense around any personel" ended up being overblown. We don't have Tebow and if we end up with a situation where our offensive talent looks like that, Emery and the HC should be on the way out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I just want a PC so I can get some feedback and really decide which way I'll fall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Well we made a hire for him, so I'm definitely okay with more accountability. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    As far as why he moved around so much, it looked likes his head coaches kept getting fired. And we know in the NFL when a head coach comes in the assistants tend to go too. So its at least partially circumstances. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What teams still need a DC at this point? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I don't want to be bottom 5 in either so if we just shift the other way, I'll feel more or less the same. But then you also have to factor in ST. If they stop being elite at that also, we're probably worse off. So how far does his offense-only mindset extend? Yes I'd rather be better at offense, but not to same the extreme we were only defense. Its great the Packers went 15-1, but regular season success hasn't correlated in the NFL the way it does in the NBA. They won the SB when they had a more respectable D. As far as jersey's point below, yes you aren't competing for individual players time. So on individual activities you din't lose out. But with limited rosters when you are doing team activities you're pretty limited to working on either tour offense or defense. Full 11 man reps against a prep team matter. Add in special teams and you aren't getting in offense or defense work either. So a coach needs to find the time to get all phases reps during practice. Repson offense do matter more because of timing, but even with that in mind, balance has to be present. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I don't mind hands of in the sense of him letting the DC have autonomy or even letting the GM have a large say in the hiring. I'm more concerned about the allocation of resources. A head coach is going to dictate how the team spends their practice time. There has to be some balance. Then there's also the question of personnel decisions. I think if Trestman came in though, Emery is going to have most of the say, so I'mm not as concerned about that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Just from what I've read about him, his teams consistently have been among the top passing in the league. He has had some good exposure to west coast offense so i suspect you'd see a lot of west coast tendencies. He never lasted long anywhere, but just read through his wikipedia and you can see he 's gotten success out of QBs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I do agree on that setiment, which is why the Clements love scares me a little. Ideally you want a great football mind who has an ability to put a staff in place that includes a QB coach like... Clements or Trestman. And I'd even take it a step further and say I want the HC who is best for the team, which is why the ST coaches don't necessarily put me off. And I wonder if a guy like Trestman could be brought in more as a possible OC if you brought in a ST coach. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
