Following Monday night's disaster of a performance, Chicago Bears head coach Marc Trestman is starting to feel more heat about his job security.
And it might come from above the man who hired Trestman, GM Phil Emery, according to CBSChicago.com senior columnist and WSCR radio host Dan Bernstein.
We wrote Monday night that if Trestman was safe prior to the 31-15 loss to the New Orleans Saints, he shouldn't be now. It's no surprise that management and ownership felt a little knife twist after the ugly week that was: the Aaron Kromer fiasco, followed by an ugly, listless loss.
The Bears have an organization history of patience with their head coaches, typically waiting at least four years before considering making a change. Trestman is finishing up his second season as Bears coach, and the last time the Bears made a switch after such a short period of time was in the late 1950s.
But extenuating circumstances have led this to become one of the most disappointing seasons in recent franchise history, and Trestman — a man viewed with some suspicion when he was hired in the first place — now has come into the crosshairs because of it.
Tradition is important to this franchise, but so is winning, or at least the impression of making progress. This is a team in retrograde right now, and Trestman and others could lose their jobs because of it.
