SHARE Odds are Marc Trestman won’t get fired

Is Marc Trestman on the hot seat? While most Bears fans would like to think so, recently posted odds give the Bears coach a better than 60 percent chance of returning. In addition, six other coaches are more likely to get canned.

MyTopSportsbooks.com lists Trestman with a 7-4 chance of being fired.

Raiders head coach Tony Sparano had better list his house now; he’s at 1-5 to get whacked. Other notables: Rex Ryan 2-9; Jim Harbaugh 11-10 and Ron Rivera 5-4.

What about former Bears coach Lovie Smith, who’s Bucs are 2-10? He’s listed at a comfortable 7-2.
