great hire..how many Canadian coaches has the NFL hired before and had success ?? Buffalo should have jumped on Trestman...I hope it works out

Trestman just got hired as the HC for the Chi Bears. If I remember correctly, he was a finalist with Al G for the HC job here at the U. Sure glad we didn't chose that guy. Seems like he would've bolted, first chance he got. Good to see that Al G wants to see this thing through. Gotta believe great things are on the horizon! All about the U!

Pretty sure Marv Levy also coached the Alouettes.

As Montreal Alouettes fan, he will surely be missed. I believe he will have a huge success in Windy City.

Bud Grant used to coach the Blue Bombers in CFL and the Vikings in NFL.

It's a dark day for bears fans. The nightmare from two years ago that was averted by the Golden hire has come back to ruin my pro team.

Good hire. If we went after him instead of Shannon, we'd be 1000 percent better off as a program now. Golden wouldn't have had to start from scratch.

Trestman is a proven winner, not sure where the hate for him comes from

As a Montrealer myself, I confirm he did
