UPDATE:It seems like Penn State is looking hard at the pro coaches. Tom Dienhart of the Big Ten Network tweets that 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman is a serious candidate and interviewed for the position already.

"I have learned 49ers OC Greg Roman is a candidate for the Penn State job. He interviewed a month ago and recently talked again with PSU," he tweets.

Should it prove true who would you want to replace him? I found some viable names in the pro game and college, if you've got a write in candidate feel free to post.

Please refrain from sensationalist post titles!

There is no rumor that Roman is leaving the 49ers. The only story is that Roman is on a list of candidates for the PSU job. However, he is NOT the top candidate; New England's Bob O'Brien is. So don't go suggesting that Roman IS leaving. He has not even been approached with an offer.

I have no preference other than towards Shaw, but he wants to stay at Stanford. Maybe once they go down the gutter after Luck leaves he'll be available a few years down the road, but not now.

He's not the 49ers CURRENT OC because of the Stanford job. He preferred it last year. Other than Luck leaving, I see no reason why a college HC would leave for an NFL Coordinators job.

Won't happen.

I know, which is why I said he prefers to stay at Stanford. If he wanted to be the OC, he'd have come up along with the rest of Harbaugh's coaching staff, but he said it himself last year, he wants to stay at Stanford for his whole coaching career. That said, I think he relies on Luck way too much, so I wouldn't be shocked to see him to available a few years down the road. Knowing how things go with niners' OCs, we'll probably have an open position then.

Roman impressed Vandy ppl a lot last yr RT @CasserlyCBS O'Brien-Won't be going to PennSt. Greg Roman (SF OC) has been interviewed.

Am I the only one who thinks it would easily be Tim Drevno elevated as OCoord? He was part of that stable of play callers Harbaugh had at Stanford with Roman and Shaw, right?

If Roman leaves, then f**k him. That's b******t how our OCs are always in the mix for HC jobs, every year, other than some coordinator that shouldn't have benn hired by the 49ers anyway. f**k that

Harbaugh someone he has worked with or for. Roman was a ? last year as he might have been hired as Stanford's head coach. The name that came up at that time was Bill Callahan. Harbaugh worked for him with the Raiders. The Jets would not allow him to move. This year he is a FA as he has not signed an extension with the jets.

Another name is Marc Trestman who also worked with Harbaugh with the Raiders.
