Looks like Brady will become the QB coach, although his position was undisclosed in the article.

Interesting 

[indyagent17]

it interesting he is coming from the CFL

[Mr. Irrelevant]

Hmmm, doesn’t sound overwhelming with no NFL experience?

[PrincetonTiger]

Learned from a QB whisperer

  Marc Trestman

[shasta519]

A CFL coach to be Luck's QB coach? That is interesting. Maybe Reich is looking to get very creative with the offense.

[Boiler_Colt]

I read this initially as Marcus Brody.

He coached with Marc Trestman

[shasta519]

They are speculating that Scott Milanovich is the connection...he played with Reich at Maryland and coached with Brady for several years in the CFL.

Trestman’s Argo Staff has a NCAA/NFL Flavor

Not bad Offensive minds to learn from

Meh, People get too hung up on NFL coaching experience. There are great minds at all levels

Does anyone here speak English?

[Yoshinator]

Not a fan of this hire. Don't want anyone who has anything to do (especially learning from) Marc Trestman. The guy is a garbage coach at the NFL level on the Bears. Did nothing worth hiring anyone associated with him. If I'm an NFL HC, I'm staying away from people who learned from him, as he was a failure at the NFL level. There's a reason he was doing the CFL, because his tactics didn't work in the NFL. Don't need his guys repeating it here.

Gotta love the line in The Last Crusade Indiana Jones movie where Harrison Ford lies that Marcus Brody will blend in anywhere, just to confess later to Sean Connery "I made all that up. You know Marcus. He once got lost in his own museum."  Classic!!!

Spread offense, RPOs, the flavor of the month right now in the NFL, especially with more and more OL coming from spread offenses. Why place a square peg in a round hole?

Literally might be one of my favorite lines of all time.

[The Peytonator]

Not sure how I feel about someone with the last name Brady being involved with the QB position for the Colts. Feels sacrilege.

Who was that spectacular, promising, Bears QB that Trestman ruined?

This line of thinking always amuses me.

Did I say Trestman ruined a young Bears QB? Quote me if I did. He didn't do a thing while on the Bears though and managed to wear out his welcome in a couple years. Actually made Pagano look good by comparision

When you only have one stint in the NFL, that's what you get judged on, like it or not. You can judge this hire based on what fits your narrative, but Marcus Brady learned from someone that was an absolute failure at the NFL Level, and those are the facts. CFL isn't NFL, it's close by 2/3, but no cigar.

Not sure it's enough to judge everyone ever in contact with the man in his professional life though..... Open up, tell us how you really feel about Coach Trestman...... j/k

Would you please start doing more research on these coaches before reacting.  Marc has been a very highly thought of and respected offensive innovator in the league since the early 90s.  His one shot at HC went horribly but he knows offense.  I would not have any reservations about hiring an offensive coach that has worked with him before.  Marc has a reputation for doing wonders with quarterbacks and there is proof to back that up throughout his career.

First, you're drastically overstating how bad Trestman was in the NFL.

 

Second, assuming that he doesn't know how to coach QBs is a huge leap that doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

 

Third, assuming that anyone he ever worked with doesn't know how to coach QBs is another huge leap that doesn't make sense.

Oh no, if I open up, I will never shut up. Trestman is a bum as a coach at the NFL level. His CFL ideas didn't work, and I don't want anyone associated with him coming on board. That's how I feel. Don't want Luck associated with this garbage. This really grinds my gears Shafty.

You do realize that he didn't start in the CFL, right?

[Superman]

I heard he once shared an elevator with Sean Payton, that should cover the stink of having worked with Trestman, right?

One HC job does make the person

 

  If that was the case 

    BB would have been in early retirement 

 

 

MT was a successful and respected QB Guru in the NFL b fore and after his stint in Chicago

Please just read his wiki page.....literally everywhere he has gone his offenses have gotten better or even led the league. As a head coach he didn't get it done...but offensively even in Chicago they excelled under him.....so what exactly makes him a bum?? Because if Marc is a bum....there is going to be a very very very short list more accomplished at their job then this guy....then they are all bums.

 

As for Brady....I don't know much about him...but I'm definitely not holding Trestman against him. Frank is going to have a big finger on the offense...I trust everyone else involved will help him communicate and teach his vision.

I realize what he did in 83 in Miami and in 89 on the Browns, neither were HC jobs. He got some value out of Jake Plummer and did well with Rich Gannon, but as an OC. Funny thing is, you probably knew nothing about him and just looked up some info just to learn about him 5 mins ago. It's always copy/paste, click on an article. No one has any real knowledge, they just look it up and pretend too. Half the people on here would be lost if they were talking in public instead of on a computer. I may not do as much research, but at least I'm not fake where I pretend to know more than I do. What I talk about is what I 100% know.

Yes, he started in Miami I believe. Doesn't change my mind about him. His concepts don't work in today's NFL. Otherwise, he'd have a job here today (likely with the Bears still).

How about the fact that he didn't try to recreate his CFL offense in the NFL, or the fact that the reason he didn't succeed in the NFL isn't because his offense didn't work in this league?
