cigsmcgee Arkansas Fan LR Member since May 2012 1903 posts	CFL Coaches in the NFL (Posted on 1/11/13 at 12:53 pm) Lots of rumors swirling about marc trestman to the bears, and even if Jimmy Johnson is talking out his ass, which is probable, Trestman has been on lots of teams radars. Are there any high profile coaches in the league who have made their names in Canada? This post was edited on 1/11 at 12:55 pm

Jay Gruden was one of the best in Arenaball and he's been successful but a CFL head coach directly to NFL head coach? i think NFL guys might not have the respect they should for him
