Marc Trestman will approach Jay Cutler with ‘sense of urgency’

General manager Phil Emery gave Jay Cutler four aspects to contemplate when he was brought in to meet the three finalists for the Bears’ coaching job: Marc Trestman, Darrell Bevell and Bruce Arians.

Cutler had to look at their communication skills and poise/presence. He had to take into account “his ability to clearly articulate his system of football [because it’s] paramount,” Emery said.

And, “The last thing I asked was, do you see this guy as a leader?”

“[Cutler] didn’t rank anybody,” Emery said. “He just sat there and told me about those four areas, thanked me for being involved in the process and that was the end of it.”

But ultimately it helped Emery pick Trestman, who was introduced Thursday.

Cutler’s direct involvement shows how much the future is about him.
