Hot prospect days behind him, Trestman's time finally has come
We can wonder if Marc Trestman can be a dynamic leader of one of this league's founding franchises in the country's second-largest NFL market. We can question if he will get through to Jay Cutler. We can ask if doing whatever he did to make Canadian...

New defensive coordinator surprisingly selling continuity
New coaches sell change the way politicians sell hope. It is their snake oil, and they often find desperate customers in their teams' executive offices as well as in the stands of the stadiums they call home. It is what new coaches do because that's...
