There's a lot of great athletes in the NFL, and one of the things that keeps them from getting to their full potential is this idea that ?I'm such a great athlete, I just go out there and play. I'm that good,'" said Young, who worked with Trestman in San Francisco from 1995-96. "Some of them are that good, but never reach their full potential unless they go to school, especially quarterbacks. So if you have a willing participant in Jay Cutler and Marc Trestman it could make some good music."
One of the candidates to interview for the position came away from his meeting with Chicago expecting the club in the future to hold Cutler to a higher level of accountability, in addition to administering some tough love to Cutler, who has underachieved with the Bears.
The candidate said "the person I spoke with said that is the plan."
Who's best suited to administer that?
"Trestman," the candidate said.
