I agree . . . he's never been an offensive coordinator at any level. I've heard his name mentioned as an OL coach, but not OC for the Niners.
With Shaw being hired as HC at Stanford I'd like to keep Solari at OL coach and hire Roman for TE's, which he's done before in the NFL.
When asked about the coordinator position in his press conference he said "all of the offensive coaches contribute to game planning." And followed that with "if I'm the best guy at running the offense then I'll be the one doing it during the games."
I can see that... But for this guy to run the Off. Nah!
Harbaugh has already mentioned that he would be the primary signal caller. In case you missed my last post about Roman.
"If you were impressed with Stanford’s run/pass balance, with its use of tight ends, its endless array of formations, its protection schemes and overall creativity, everything about the offense, really — well, that was Roman.
Harbaugh kept Stanford’s play-calling method a closely-guarded secret, and it sure looked like he was in charge because Harbaugh signaled in the plays from the sideline.
But Roman was, more than anyone else, the brains behind the operation."
