Bears add surprise candidate to their list
The Bears’ coaching search apparently has extended north of the border.
In a surprise twist, the Bears will interview Montreal Alouettes coach Marc Trestman for their head coaching vacancy, the NFL Network reported Saturday. Trestman coached the Alouettes to back-to-back Grey Cup titles in 2009 and 2010 as the top team in the Canadian Football League.
Yet Trestman also knows the rules of American football quite well. He has trained many top young quarterbacks, including Jay Cutler before the 2006 NFL draft and Jason Campbell before the 2005 NFL draft. Among others he has worked with are Tim Tebow before the 2010 NFL draft and Brandon Weeden before the 2012 NFL draft.
