He has a 1 in 8 chance of winning every year. Jim Zorn would probably win it a few times, too. The fact that he's done so twice is not remotely meaningful in the context of being an NFL head coach. Thanks to Lovie Smith, the Bears are already a great football team.

I expect them to start out fairly hot, just like Zorn did when taking over for Gibbs. Within a year or two, the Lovie-effect will wear off, the Bears will decline, and Trestman will be out.

You dont think Kosar, Plummer, and Gannon were impressive qb's. ? Ok fine, Scott Mitchell certainly isnt but look at what he did when Trestman was there. Its night and day. Look at what all of them did when Trestman was in town. its not important about your opinion of the qb's overall success but your opinion of how the quarterbacks played while he was there. You cant deny those numbers, wins, and career years under his watch. Bears offense will be explosive next year - watch.
As for bowl games - its NC State. They arent exactly a great team, but while he was there they had one of their better years. Not sure why you think its ridiculous to say everyehere he has gone hes had success? His footprints are all over winning teams in three different leagues even if one was the CFL. He shows up and its instant offense. The proof is in the pudding. Show me somewhere his offense didnt light it up as an OC or somewhere his qb didnt do the same while he was a QB coach?
