Over nearly four decades Marc Trestman has established himself as one of the brightest minds in offensive football. A former QB himself at the University of Minnesota and Minnesota State Moorhead, Trestman has helped develop some of the most recognizable QB's in the game — including Steve Young, Bernie Kosar, Jake Plummer, Rich Gannon, Jay Cutler — the list goes on and on.
Trestman has worked for 10 different NFL franchises, including as head coach of the Chicago Bears ('13, '14), won three Grey Cups in the CFL as Head Coach of the Montreal Alouettes ('09, '10) and Toronto Argonauts ('17), and was twice named CFL coach of the year ('09, '17).
Beyond his expertise on the offensive side of the game, Trestman has also become well known for his devotion to a positive organizational culture and philosophical unity. As a member of the national advisory board for the Positive Coaching Alliance, Marc has shared his perspective on the purpose of coaching, establishing culture and leadership, how to treat players, and handling opponents with respect.
In 2010 Trestman published the book PERSEVERANCE: Life Lessons on Leadership and Teamwork, which articulated many of his personal philosophies and experiences on organizing and leading a team.
Steve Fairchild is a true football thoroughbred and boasts 35 years of coaching experience at both the NFL and collegiate levels, including 19 seasons as an offensive coordinator. Prior to UV Fairchild was the senior offensive assistant for the San Diego Chargers after a four-year stint as the head coach at Colorado State, which included the highest-ranked recruiting class in program history and a victory in the 2008 New Mexico Bowl. At Colorado State, Fairchild also was the offensive coordinator (1997-2000) and quarterbacks coach (1993-96) during the Rams’ football rise. From 1993-2000 Colorado State won the Western Athletic Conference three times and the Mountain West Conference twice and was nationally ranked at various times during that span. During Fairchild’s four seasons as the offensive coordinator, three Colorado State players were honored as the league’s offensive player of the year and the Rams won three bowl games. In 1997, quarterback Moses Moreno was the WAC offensive player of the year and helped Colorado State finish No. 1 in the league in total and scoring offense.
Fairchild spent eight seasons in the NFL. He worked as the offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills in 2006 and 2007, as quarterback J.P. Losman posted the 11th-best QB rating in the NFL in 2006 and passed for 3,051 yards. Prior to his stint with the Bills, Fairchild was the offensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams from 2003-05. Teaming up again with Faulk, Fairchild and the Rams enjoyed three straight top-10 finishes in total offense, including the NFL’s second-ranked scoring offense in 2003.
He earned a bachelor of arts in economics from Colorado State and later a master of education from Azusa Pacific in 1983. Steve Fairchild is now the owner of Fairchild Quarterback Training Camp in Denver, Colorado.
