(MCT) — If you believe former 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr., going from the Canadian Football League to the Bears for a head coach as smart as Marc Trestman requires no more adjustment than, say, switching from Molson to Goose Island for a beer connoisseur.

“Football’s football,” DeBartolo said Wednesday in a phone interview. “I know they will say the field is wider in the CFL and you can throw the ball more and all this stuff. But that’s malarkey. When you coach a football team, you coach a football team, whether it’s the Montreal Alouettes, the Bears or the 49ers. Marc will do fine. He’s a football coach and he’s a good one.”
