Former Bears head coach Marc Trestman is back on the open market.

Saturday, the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League announced that they have relieved Trestman of head coaching duties. 

Trestman, 62, was the Bears head coach from 2013-14 and led the team to records of 8-8 and 5-11, respectively. Of course, the Bears fired both Trestman and general manager Phil Emery after the 2014 season ended.

The Bears did not make the playoffs during Trestman's tenure. However, they famously lost what was essentially a play-in game against the Packers in Week 17 of the 2013 season. at Soldier Field.

With the Bears up 28-27 in the fourth quarter, Green Bay scored a touchdown with 38 seconds left to go ahead for good, clinching the NFC North title.

Under Trestman, the Argonauts finished the 2018 season 4-14, missing the CFL Playoffs. However, Trestman led the 9-9 Argonauts all the way to a championship in 2017, winning the 105th Grey Cup 27-24 over the Calgary Stampeders.
