A good one at that. Chip Kelly is all the hype right now. With that, I'd still take Trestman over him.
Didn't lovie make the playoffs once in the past 6 years?
The Bears won 10 games this year with about half the team hurt. It was just unlucky that the AFC had so many bad teams this year that 10 wins left them on he outside looking in. During Lovie's tenure the Bears were the 4th winningest team in the NFC and played in the Super Bowl once. That's a pretty solid resume in a league with as much parity as the NFL. Good luck achieving the same level of success with a CFL coach.
And I'd take a guy with even one iota of actual NFL head coaching success over either one of those guys. It just doesn't make sense to fire a guy who's been your coach for almost 10 years and over that time had you in the top 25% of the NFC, and replace him with a guy from the CFL.
