There’s no sense speculating whether Marc Trestman is about to, or will, return to the Alouettes or the Canadian Football League.

Trestman, who coached the Alouettes for five seasons, including three Grey Cup appearances and successive championships, is in no rush to contemplate the next chapter of his life. He said he’s not even certain that would include another coaching challenge.

“I’m using this time for personal time, to quiet myself and focus on my family and kids. I’ve got time on my hands to do that,” Trestman told the Montreal Gazette in an exclusive telephone interview. “I know I’m not answering the question, but I have no answer. I haven’t given it any thought.”

Trestman was fired as offensive coordinator of the National Football League’s Baltimore Ravens on Oct. 10, the day after a 16-10 loss at home to Washington. Although the Ravens were 3-2 at that juncture, the unit ranked 23rd in total offence (328.2 yards) and points per game (18.8). Baltimore has gone 2-2 without Trestman, averaging 22 points over that span.
