I really like the idea of bringing Trestman in here..he has been around the league for 17 years now..and he has always been a well respected Offensive mind...he has had 6 or 7 years as an Offensive Coordinator..including coaching the Raiders Offense to number 1 overall..and 1 passing...and he has coached both RB and QB positions several times, for several teams...

Mooch is also trying to get him to go to Detroit..He and Mooch coached together in San Francisco

Infact..when he went to Arizona..the team made it to the playoffs for the first time in decades...in his first year...

His credentials are impressive...

While Trestman was Oakland’s offensive coordinator in 2002, the Raiders led the NFL in total offense (389.8 ypg) and passing offense (279.7 ypg), as quarterback Rich Gannon was named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player and earned his second trip to the Pro Bowl in as many years. He threw for a team-record 4,689 yards that year as three different players surpassed the 80-catch plateau, while Charlie Garner rushed for 968 yards, averaged 5.3 yards per rush attempt and finished fourth in the AFC with 1,903 total yards from scrimmage. In Trestman’s first season with Arizona, quarterback Jake Plummer passed for 3,737 yards, running back Adrian Murrell rushed for 1,042 yards and wide receiver Frank Sanders caught 89 passes for 1,145 yards as the Cards went on to win their first playoff game since 1947. In Trestman’s lone year with the Lions, quarterback Scott Mitchell tossed for 3,484 yards, the second-highest figure in that franchise’s history. In 1995, the 49ers’ offense led the NFL in scoring and passing, and ranked second in total offense under Trestman’s tutelage. In his two years in San Francisco, four different offensive players made a total of six Pro Bowl appearances, including quarterback Steve Young on both occasions. Wide receiver Jerry Rice set an NFL record in ’95 with 1,848 receiving yards on 122 receptions. In fact, in Rice’s two seasons under Trestman, he totaled 230 catches for 3,102 yards and 23 touchdowns. The 49ers put together 25 wins in those two seasons and made the playoffs both times. As quarterbacks coach with the Vikings from 1990-91, Trestman first tutored Gannon in his first two seasons as an NFL starter, as he combined for 28 touchdown passes and 22 interceptions over those two years. As quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator with the Browns, Trestman worked with quarterback Bernie Kosar and wide receiver Webster Slaughter, who led the NFL in 1989 with a 19.0-yard average per reception as he was selected to the only Pro Bowl of his career. Cleveland qualified for the playoffs both years in which Trestman was there, including 1989 when they advanced to the AFC Championship Game

On a personal note. I hope Trestman, is a good motivater....
I do not care how much you know, If you can\'t Put a Fire in the hearts of a few offensive players, we are still at square 1, since 2001, we have been backstepping, all along while the offensive talent gets better, with the exception of losing turley and then Fontenot...... we need some one who can Motivate, it sounds like Trestman has done alot of good things, but listen to the names, Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Jake Plummer, etc........ not saying he didn\'t make these players better, in some cases making them a player all together, I do not think these players laked motivation..... not even Bernie Kosar or Scott Mitchell. I am avoiding saying the obvious, I think Brooks has a Lack of Motivation........ oops I said it!!!!!!
