Chicago Bears coach Marc Trestman’s job appears safe.

Despite a 5-8 record, the Bears are not likely to make major changes in the offseason. CSN Chicago Bears reporter John Mullin told NBC Sports’ Pro Football Talk that general manager Phil Emery would not fire Trestman after just two seasons.

Also, team chairman George McCaskey would not let Emery go, either. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the Bears typically do not make wholesale changes after one bad season.

Trestman improved the Bears’ offense last season, but it has performed below expectations this year. Despite that, the conservative front office of the Bears would reportedly not get rid of the coach and/or general manager after one off season.
