WPXI Pittsburg: Source: Roman a Finalist for PSU Job--O'Brien to stay with Pats | Page 5

greywolf447 · 2012-01-02T00:59:47-08:00

I just watching all these possible HC vacancies and one in paticular jumped out at me. The Colts have Andrew Luck staring them in the face. The best way for them to hit the ground running is bringing in someone that is familiar with him. Now our offense wasn't blowing anybody out. With someone like Andrew and the weapons that the Colts have on there team would be a very formidable opponent really quick. If they let Caldwell go I think Greg Roman will at the very least be on their radar. I know we have JH but I would hate losing another OC. Oh well, only time will tell.

Who would of guessed a child molesting defensive coordinator would be the reason we could potentially lose our OC.

Why would it matter? This isnt Nolan or Sing that relied 100% on coordinators.

I think Roman will stay. I think we have built that kind of loyalty. All these guys owe Alex one for sticking with the team. Turnabout is fair play.

I think Roman has loyalty to Harbaugh but to say they should stay for Alex is funny

Smith wanted to look elsewhere if there wasn't a lockout. We got lucky things worked out well.

Hopefully he doesn't go anywhere. Let's do some damage in the playoffs and get even better in the off-season!

I understand everyone's worries and all considering our past issues with keeping coordinators but losing Roman is not gonna be as big a deal as everyone is making it be. Harbaugh is not Erickson, or Nolan or Singletary, Harbaugh will find a good replacement or he will call his own plays.

If we get a new OC and Alex struggles next year because he is having to learn a new system, I think I'm going to scream.

You really think Alex Smith's continued development is dependent on Greg Roman? It is 100% Jim Harbaugh. He made Alex the QB he is right now and as long as he is the HC we wont have to worry about losing offensive coaches.

That would just buy him 7 more years.
