The Baltimore Ravens hired former Chicago Bears head coach Marc
Trestman as their new offensive coordinator on Tuesday. Trestman
will be an offensive coordinator in the NFL for a fifth time. He
takes over for Gary Kubiak, who left to coach the Denver Broncos
after one season as Ravens offensive coordinator. Kubiak, who was
hired last January after being fired as coach of the Houston
Texans, guided the Ravens offense to a franchise-record 364.9 yards
per game, 12th in the NFL. Trestman, 59, was 13-19 in two seasons
as Chicago's head coach and was fired last month following a 5-11
season, the Bears' worst in 10 years. They ranked 21st in the NFL
with 327.1 yards of offense per game and scored the 10th-fewest
points in the league. Prior to joining the Bears, Trestman coached
the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes for five years,
winning back-to-back Grey Cups in 2009-10.
