OMFG! Marc Trestman is from Canada. Actually, he’s from Minneapolis, but since 2007 he’s coached the Montreal Alouettes of the CFL. So yeah, basically, he’s one of them. Since the possibility first dawned last week that the Chicago Bears, led by 13 consecutive red-blooded Americans—including one “ultra-ultra-ultra conservative” from Carnegie, Penn.—would suddenly go all NAFTA with its latest hire, the citizens of the United States of Twitter have made their disdain perfectly clear.

Excited at possible Bears coach hire Trestman. Because he came from Canadian league it means our guys can start in motion right? #bears — Brad Bowers (@BBowers00) January 15, 2013

Note: Canadian football has slightly different rules from the NFL: there are 12 men on each team, forward motion, three downs, and a wider field.

A part of me wants the Bears to bring in Trestman, and shock the league with their newfangled Canadian offence. #Poutine — Justin Cornille (@Justin_Cornille) January 15, 2013

Not judging Trestman as a coach – he has a brilliant reputation as an offensive mind – but I find Canadian football funny. — DaBearsBlog (@dabearsblog) January 14, 2013
