Emery gets his man in Trestman

At last: It took weeks and a gazillion interviews, but Bears GM Phil Emery wanted an offensive-oriented head coach and he finally got one. Sure, he had to go to Canada to do it, but he got his man.Ladies and gentlemen ... Marc Trestman!Sounds right: Trestman. Has that crunchy, two-syllable sound Bears fans love, doesn't it?Trest-man. Dit-ka. Per-fect.The question: Now that Trestman is in tow, is it possible the Bears might finally have a 21st century offense?Or is that dreaming too big?Soothing words: #8220;He's a phenomenal offensive mind and a great game-day play caller.#8221;#8212; former 49ers QB Steve Young talking Trestman on the #8220;Waddle Silvy Show.#8221;But #8230;: If Trestman can't get in sync with QB Jay Cutler, all the fancy offensive schemes out there aren't going to mean diddly.Simply put: This is Cutler's last stand.How long til we hear ...: #8220;Hey, if this Trestman guy can't get the offense going, send him back north. I'll hang up and listen for my answer.#8221;I'm guessing it'll come by the third exhibition game.Tough act to follow:No, not Lovie Smith's 81-63 record in nine seasons with the Bears.We're talking Phil Emery's last news conference.Good luck with that, Marc.Oh, one more thing, coach:Beat the Pack.
