CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Browns will meet with Marc Trestman, coach of the CFL's Montreal Alouettes, on Monday, according to multiple reports.
The Browns reportedly have scheduled their meeting with Trestman in Chicago, where the Chicago Bears also have an interview scheduled with the coach on Monday, sources told ESPN.
Trestman's resume includes extensive time as an NFL offensive assistant. He has been with Montreal since 2008, leading the Alouettes to two CFL titles in his five seasons.
With Trestman recently signing an extension with the Alouettes that takes his deal through 2016, it's unknown whether he'll be allowed out of his CFL contract if an NFL team decides to hire him.
A source with the Alouettes indicated to ESPNChicago.com that it's likely Trestman would be allowed out of his contract because the team's ownership is "usually pretty good about stuff like that ... although Marc just signed a new extension this year. So I don't know if that might hold things up."
The source added Trestman "works well with a front office" and is "a player's coach for sure."
The Browns met late last week with Chip Kelly but decided to reboot their search for a coach after leaving Arizona late Sunday morning without landing the Oregon coach, sources told ESPN.
Kelly has decided to turn down a chance to go to the NFL and instead will return to the Ducks, league sources told ESPN.
Kelly was intrigued with the Philadelphia Eagles' head coaching job but decided he wasn't comfortable leaving the college game, the sources said.
Trestman possesses considerable experience in the NFL, where he's worked on staffs tutoring quarterbacks such as Steve Young (worked for 49ers from 1995-96), Rich Gannon (Raiders from 2001-03), who was named the league's MVP in 2001, and Bernie Kosar (1989). Trestman also worked in 2007 with the New Orleans Saints as a consultant.
Other NFL stops for Trestman include Minnesota (two stints), Tampa Bay (1987, then again in 2001 as a senior offensive assistant for Jon Gruden), Detroit (1997), Arizona (1998-2000) and Miami (2004) as well as the University of Miami (1981-84), where he received his law degree.
Trestman spent 2005 and 2006 at North Carolina State, before leaving in 2008 for the CFL.
In addition to his duties as a coach, Trestman worked during the offseason to prepare college quarterbacks for the NFL draft. Trestman worked with Jay Cutler and Bears backup Jason Campbell before their respective drafts.
According to his official website, Trestman has also worked with Cleveland Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden, Denver rookie Brock Osweiler, as well as Tim Tebow of the New York Jets and Carolina's Jimmy Clausen.

Marc Trestman, really? He has to look in Canada for a coach, sheesh! No thanks!
Get Lovie in there!
-
For anyone wondering about Lovie Smith or any other coaching candidate that doesn't have ties to Mike Lombardi the answer is NO. The browns and their incestuous front office are only interviewing people with ties to Mike Lombardi.

reports are Lovie is going to San Diego, know Idea if it happens just reports that I saw

I am hearing that may no longer be the case. In fact, I hear speculation that they may cut ties with Lombardi.

i guess banner and lombardi will have to file for divorce then.

im not sure if this has been brought up or not or if hes even avaliable but what about kyle Shanahan
-
I'm not buying into Shannahan, who was talking about him last year before he had Rg3?
We have no RG3 in Cleveland and even if we did Shannahan would probably get him flattened like he did this year.
On top of that like Mik and at least one other guy has pointed out I'll pass on a younger snot-nosed type coach on telling some 250 lb guy what to do.
I think 30ish type guys can succeed as coaches but not these little shit type guys,e.g, Shannahan,McDaniels,Kiffin,especially a silver-spoon type such as Shannahan jr.
The only exception I can think of is Gruden, but def has little man syndrome and has the personality to compensate for his small stature.

if this father / son tandem was different like, say ... sonny boy being out on his own, like at least Layne Kiffin did,
.
instead of coattailing it with pop in DC then his record will speak for itself....
until then I agree, dont go with another unproven and timid looking (IMO) coach!

This is probably the dumbest fucking reasoning I have ever heard.
Mike Tomlin was hired at 34 and won the Super Bowl at 36. Jon Gruden got his first NFL head coaching gig at 35, posted a 28-20 record with the Oakland Raiders, then went to Tampa Bay and won a Super Bowl by age 37.
Josh McDaniels is 36. Lane Kiffin is 37. Shanahan is 33. They're in the same wheelhouse as Gruden and Tomlin were when they were hired, if not a little older.
I understand most of you are older than the game of poker, but this ageism is absolutely ridiculous. Age is no guarantee of experience. If anything, an older coach who hasn't made it to the big show is probably less likely to make it than a new, younger coach is.
I'll admit that youth is no guarantee of innovation. But, personally, I'd rather take my chances on an "up and coming" younger coach than an average coach closer to the end of his career than the beginning.

I'm not sure if I'm older than poker but I also would like to see us hire a young up and coming coach who has the fire to succeeed. I want the next Gruden, Cowher, Payton, Tomlin, etc.
I don't want Saban, I think he has more commitment issues than Chip Kelly. After that fiasco, I kinda doubt Haslam dips back into the college market.

I think guys like Tomlin demand respect just in his demeanor and personality, Gruden also to an extent, but his success and football knowledge helped a lot also.
McDaniels,Shannahan,Kiffin, do not come off to me as tough guys and they would have to compensate in other ways to earn the respect of their players, making their chances of success twice as hard.
For some fair haired white boy to come in and chew out some big 280lb black sob would be commical, no one on the team would take these guys serious.
Age plays a big part and so does personality and appearance - perception is reality.
But when you stack the deck against a guy it's not a good situation.

The NFL isn't high school football or college football. The 'chewing out' of the players isn't what keeps them in line. It's knowing that there's a younger, faster, hungrier person always ready to take your place. These are grown men in peak physical performance who have played football their entire lives, do you honestly think there is a man alive that they would be scared of?
I've been to multiple NFL practices and offseason camps and I can honestly say you rarely, if ever, see a coach in a player's facemask chewing him out. And I'd venture a bet to say the players welcome being yelled at. The worst thing a coach can do is not say anything to you, because that's when you know you've lost your job.
NFL players are grown men, they don't need to be chewed out to perform. The job is their livelihood. If they don't perform, they're gone.
As for respect, the best way to get it in this league is by winning. You win, you get respect. You don't get respect by yelling at your players. As I said before, this is the NFL, not high school football.

Trestman has a strong pedigree. He's smart and had the opportunity to learn from Bill Walsh and other great football minds. He has used that knowledge effectively both in the NFL and the CFL. He has been extremely successful coaching quarterbacks and heaven knows QBs have not been our strong suit of late. I have never understood the disrespect he's gotten from some Browns fans. I met a good friend of his a number of years ago and heard good things about him so I've sort of followed his career since then. I've wondered why he wasn't a candidate for other coaching positions. I get the feeling he hasn't been much of a self-promoter.

I've never understood this hatred for the CFL. Where do you think the college all-stars go that can't hack it in the NFL? I'd say the skill level is higher than that of NCAA.

He won everywhere he went. A lot of people tend to forget he had the Tennessee Titans record for most wins until McNair broke it. Give Moon a better team and he wins a couple rings.

Trestman coached Kosar. Again, we have an owner being lead to the same group of shitheads who have been drafting OL high and posting 4- 12 records.
Kosar pushed very hard for us to draft Jimmy Graham, only to have his cries fall on deaf ears.
