Bears tight end says Marc Trestman will be a better OC than Head Coach

Trestman, the new head coach of the Chicago Bears, talks to the media during a news conference at Halas Hall, the Bears' headquarters in Lake Forest, IllinoisMarc Trestman was recently hired by the Baltimore Ravens as their new offensive coordinator.  After getting fired by the Bears, Trestman had several teams offering him a coordinator position, but he eventually chose the Ravens.  Well today, his former tight end Martellus Bennett said he liked what Trestman did as a coach, but he will be a much better OC than Coach.

“Trestman, I think, first off, the issue that he had, probably, was managing us all, all the different personalities,” Bennett said. “There’s a lot of big personalities. And I think, for a first-time head coach in the NFL, dealing with all the personalities that you have, I think that’s hard when you got guys like me, you know, [Brandon] Marshall …  Lance Briggs on defense, (Charles) Tillman … Calling plays, he was excellent. I think he’s going to be an excellent coordinator for the Ravens. Strategically, he was great. But on the field, guys just weren’t executing.”
