Yeah I know but it has just been something that I was thinking about. In the offseason I read that Roman really is the brain behind play design and I was just curious if him leaving would have the same effect on the team as our other OCs even though we have an offensive minded coach.

no...roman actually understands offense his leaving would hurt. the only effect when the other oc's left, was the car that was in the reserved parking spot.

This whole "trying to find our identity thing" is so well thought out and I believe that he will continue to be "finding" it just to throw the entir league off.

Starting Hunter last week was also another thing that I give him credit for, sure Gore was a little banged up but he made it seem like he was not going to have that many touches.

Throwing Sopoaga in as an extra full back.

Waiting till the 2nd half to unleash Aldon Smith.

Please feel free to add to this list, he is making all the right moves by not revealing what kind of football team they are. I just watched his Monday Presser and love the way he talks to the media. He makes it hard for people to read him and that's exactly the type of coach you want to have leading your team!

How important do you guys think Greg Roman is to the team? If our offense turns around I could see him leaving after the 2012 or 2013 season to become a HC.

Hmm, I think he's very important but I trust that Harbaugh will have someone ready to step in and fill his role. Just like I think he can do with the players on the field. If we lose a player for whatever reason someone will be ready to go in without missing a beat.

Harbaugh is setting the tone and style. He is also calling a good share of the plays. Losing Roman will not be a problem. Different from the past with defensive coaches in charge and no idea how an offense should run.

Second half adjustments is the name of the game... We are used to these stubborn coaches who refused to change the game plan in the second half.
