It would be easy to miss in the clutter of all that is insignificant, tedious and distracting about NFL opening preseason games, but to ignore the personal accomplishment for Marc Trestman would be grossly unfair.
Since Trestman first started coaching as a volunteer assistant at the University of Miami more than 30 years ago, his goal and his dream have been to be a head coach in the National Football League.
While the game itself will be quickly forgotten, when the referee raises his arm and blows his whistle to signify the opening kickoff of the Bears preseason tilt at Carolina, it also will signal the fulfillment of a lifetime of hopes and dreams for Trestman. It is a moment worth noting.
We have much to learn about Marc Trestman as an NFL head coach, but the early indications are that he is ready for the challenge and will approach it somewhat differently than most have before him.
