Read this: Apparently, he faked the death of a girl that didn't exist to garner more attention to his Heisman candidacy. It was all a hoax. http://deadspin.com/5976517/manti-teos-dea...dium=socialflow

I heard a stat that was thrown around on the radio this morning. The year before Trestman came to the CFL, the Montreal team gave up 68 sacks in just over 600 pass attempts. The year he arrived, they only allowed 22 in just over 700 pass attempts with largely the same group. So there's that.. I think the Kromer hire is very encouraging sign that things will start to get better in the O-Line department.

Sounds like Greg Williams would match Trestman's approach to defense .

Biggest shock of the day. I bet there will be some pretty substantial sanctions coming Oregon's way soon, and that may be why he chose to get out of there ASAP.

All I needed to see was "Saints" associated with the name and it got my approval.

How does his offense rely on deep drops? Everything I've read about him says he's a West Coast guy. A lot of 2 yard crossing patterns that gets the ball out of the quarterbacks hands quickly. I think you read up on the wrong guy. Regardless, none of us know what he will run HERE. I'm sure he has a specific plan already in place. We won't know what that will be until the season kicks off.

I'm excited for the Trestman era to begin. Hopefully this offense can finally be a top 10 offense for once and it will get us to the Superbowl. Also getting anybody associated with the Saints is a plus in my book. Both good hires!

Trestman and Emery have similar personalities. Unless Bevell or Arians nail their final interviews it's gotta be Trestman's job to lose.

I'm fine with any of them, but my personal preference is still to go with somebody young and innovative. Would have loved for it to have been McCoy, but Bevell would do. Either way, if it's Arians or Trestman, I'm fine with it. You have to give them a chance.

I agree with some of you that would like to see a change in scheme from a defensive perspective as well. I would be heavily in favor of hiring Greg Williams to run the defense. The defensive studs on our team right now are all getting older with the exception of Melton. To me, it doesn't make much sense to keep a defense that's reliant upon these older guys to keep making plays. Maybe the plan is to give it another year while the coach gets situated, and then after Marenelli's contract runs out they'll just bring in a new guy.

I listened to part of a podcast the other day (I forget which show it was) and some guy from Canada spoke very highly of Trestman. He even went as far as to say that his offensive approach is a lot like the New England Patriots. That it's unpredictable. As for Bevell, I like him a little more than I did a couple days ago. The more you read up on a guy the more he starts to stand out. I like what he's done adapting his offense to fit Russell Wilson's skill set. That Seattle offense really evolved from Week 1 of the season if you remember. For the first 6-7 weeks it was mostly Marshawn Lynch runs on 1st and 2nd downs and only throwing when they had to. Then they unleashed the read option on the Bears and the whole thing took off from there. Wilson became a prolific passer and was one of the best quarterbacks in football this season. I like him (Bevell). I wouldn't be mad if he ended up getting the job. I would prefer somebody young, and he's the only finalist that fits that bill.

Yeah it's not a likely scenario. If Jerry Angelo wasn't an idiot, the Bears should have had Wallace a couple of years ago before they took Jarron freaking Gilbert instead. Wallace said the Bears were the most interested team going into the draft. Thought he would be there for sure..

Bevell as well. I just think that offense fits our personnel better than a lot of deep passing. We don't have any burners at receiver. Now if they shocked the world and spent money on Mike Wallace, perhaps I would change my mind.

Arians offense gets his quarterbacks killed. Andrew Luck #2 this year in QB hits and #9 in sacks. Roethlisberger and the Steelers offense were always in the top 10 in sacks given up while he was the coordinator. He likes vertical passing and power running. I prefer a WCO and a zone based running game.

The thing I like about Bevell is that he worked with Brett Favre and had a lot of success in Minnesota when he was the coordinator. Cutler is very Favre-esque in a lot of ways.

I'm kind of warming up to Bevell. He's only 43 and has shown the ability to adapt with his quarterback. Sounds like Trestman is the favorite though.

Supposedly Ian Rapoport was on NFL Network earlier today and said that he was hearing from sources inside the Bears that Darrell Bevell and Marc Trestman are at least 2 of the 3 possible finalists that have NOT been ruled out.

I'm ready for this whole thing to be over already. Get your 2nd round of interviews in and lets name a coach already. I hope this thing doesn't drag on past this Thursday/Friday.

There is also rumors swirling around that Dennison's interview didn't go so well. It only went for 2 hours. Here are some quotes.

McCoy seems like he has faded as a top candidate with the Bears now. He's already been contacted by teams that want a second interview. Nothing from the Bears yet. Seems like he's Arizona bound, and Trestman, Arians, and or Dennison could be in the mix for the job. Check that.. Trestman might be out of it too. Brad Biggs retweeted a reporter that claims Trestman was interviewing with the Raiders for their OC job. Must not be too confident about getting the Bears gig. Not sure why he'd be interviewing for other positions.

The Eiffert kid would look pretty good in a Bears uniform.

If Cutler ever wins a Superbowl all that will go away. That's just the nature of the business. Eli Manning was heavily scrutinized for having poor body language for years until he won a ring. Where's that all now? Cutler is made to be an easier target because of his inconsistent play, combined with his hot headed antics, and the lack of playoff success. That's a bad combination.

Who? I don't see any young quarterbacks on this roster that can beat defenses with their arms and feet. Cutler isn't young. He's not going to play forever. Sooner or later you need to find the next guy, even if he's going to sit on the bench for a couple years before he gets the opportunity. For all we know Cutler might not even be here next season or the season beyond with a new coach in place and an expiring contract. The clock is ticking on his future.

I'd rather have a quarterback that can do both, throwing and running, if possible.
