Marc Trestman Biography

Marc Trestman is a respected and decorated football coach, teacher, leader, and mentor whose career spans more than three decades at the highest levels of professional football. He has coached in both the National Football League and Canadian Football League, leading teams, developing quarterbacks, and building high-performing cultures through preparation, communication, trust, and accountability.

Trestman served as the head coach of the Chicago Bears, where he guided an organization steeped in NFL history and helped lead the team to one of its most productive offensive seasons. His work in Chicago reflected his strengths as an offensive strategist, teacher, and developer of talent.

Before becoming an NFL head coach, Trestman held offensive coordinator and coaching positions with several NFL organizations, including the Oakland Raiders, San Francisco 49ers, Arizona Cardinals, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, and Baltimore Ravens.

Throughout his NFL career, he was recognized for designing innovative and highly productive offensive systems, developing quarterbacks, and helping teams maximize the abilities of their players.

His coaching experience includes working with elite quarterbacks, offensive leaders, and Hall of Fame Head Coaches as well as preparing teams to perform under pressure in some of the most demanding environments in professional sports. Trestman’s approach combines detailed preparation with a strong emphasis on relationships, allowing athletes and teams to play with confidence, discipline, and purpose.

Trestman also achieved extraordinary success in his 7 years as a Head Coach in the Canadian Football League. He is a three-time Grey Cup champion and a two-time CFL Coach of the Year.

As head coach of the Montreal Alouettes, he led the organization to consecutive Grey Cup championships and established a culture built on consistency, accountability, and belief. His CFL career further demonstrated his ability to create winning environments, adapt to different challenges, and bring diverse groups of people together around a shared vision.

For the last 5 years, Trestman has taught a Leadership course (Playbook on Leadership) at his alma mater, the University of Miami School of Law. (A member of the Florida Bar since 1982). While Trestman’s résumé includes championship titles and prestigious coaching positions, his greatest passion is teaching. He believes that the principles used to develop successful athletes also apply to business leaders, educators, teams, and organizations in every field.

Trestman’s message is both practical and inspiring. He offers audiences actionable insights that can be applied immediately—whether they are leading a company, managing a team, coaching athletes, educating students, or guiding an organization through change.

Trestman is the author of "Teaching the Game," a book that explores the connections between coaching, teaching, leadership, teamwork, culture, and communication. As a speaker, he combines championship experience with the perspective of a lifelong teacher. His presentations are engaging, thoughtful, and relevant to audiences far beyond the world of sports. Event organizers can expect a compelling program filled with stories, lessons, and strategies designed to help individuals and organizations improve how they lead, communicate, collaborate, and perform.

Marc Trestman inspires audiences to lead with purpose, prepare with intention, communicate effectively, and create environments where people can succeed.
