While Trestman was Oakland’s offensive coordinator in 2002, the Raiders led the NFL in total offense (389.8 ypg) and passing offense (279.7 ypg), as quarterback Rich Gannon was named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player and earned his second trip to the Pro Bowl in as many years. He threw for a team-record 4,689 yards that year as three different players surpassed the 80-catch plateau, while Charlie Garner rushed for 968 yards, averaged 5.3 yards per rush attempt and finished fourth in the AFC with 1,903 total yards from scrimmage. In Trestman’s first season with Arizona, quarterback Jake Plummer passed for 3,737 yards, running back Adrian Murrell rushed for 1,042 yards and wide receiver Frank Sanders caught 89 passes for 1,145 yards as the Cards went on to win their first playoff game since 1947. In Trestman’s lone year with the Lions, quarterback Scott Mitchell tossed for 3,484 yards, the second-highest figure in that franchise’s history. In 1995, the 49ers’ offense led the NFL in scoring and passing, and ranked second in total offense under Trestman’s tutelage. In his two years in San Francisco, four different offensive players made a total of six Pro Bowl appearances, including quarterback Steve Young on both occasions. Wide receiver Jerry Rice set an NFL record in ’95 with 1,848 receiving yards on 122 receptions. In fact, in Rice’s two seasons under Trestman, he totaled 230 catches for 3,102 yards and 23 touchdowns. The 49ers put together 25 wins in those two seasons and made the playoffs both times. As quarterbacks coach with the Vikings from 1990-91, Trestman first tutored Gannon in his first two seasons as an NFL starter, as he combined for 28 touchdown passes and 22 interceptions over those two years. As quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator with the Browns, Trestman worked with quarterback Bernie Kosar and wide receiver Webster Slaughter, who led the NFL in 1989 with a 19.0-yard average per reception as he was selected to the only Pro Bowl of his career. Cleveland qualified for the playoffs both years in which Trestman was there, including 1989 when they advanced to the AFC Championship Game.
Trestman began his coaching career in 1981 as a volunteer assistant at the University of Miami while attending law school. In 1983, he was named the Hurricanes’ quarterbacks coach, a position in which he served the next two years. He was part of the staff that led the school to a national championship in 1983. While at Miami, Trestman worked with quarterbacks Jim Kelly, Bernie Kosar and Vinny Testaverde, each of whom went on to play in the NFL, while he recruited a fourth to Coral Gables in Steve Walsh, who would later lead the Hurricanes to their second national championship.
Wow. What a hire this guy would be. I would assume he would be hired as the QB coach and Norvell would move to recievers?
To me, this hire makes the most sense as the Dolphins are currently in the process of turning over the regime to Saban and Trestman will most likely be in serach for a job. Also, the Dolphins, as we all know, are NO WHERE near the playoffs, so he could be hired as soon as the season ends this week. Just as obvious are his ties to Callahan and the WCO system.
Proven coach with a great track record. Sounds like the guy we need to develop Harrison and Taylor and further progress Dailey and Adams.
