I don't know if we're ready for Lou Roman. Lighting incense and wearing a silk niner's robe glasses fogged up from the steam of mangini in the hot tub playing cards with eddie d
might loosen up the play calling though.
Jim: What's the call
Roman: Uh, hang a sec.. "someone to looooove youuuu the way i doooo" *shimmies in his seat* um, what down is it? Uh yea, Throw it to crab, everybody block.. hey can I call you back?
Jim: What? Come on man What? Call..we're on headseats
*Roman looks up*
Roman: Thank God, I thought you were just a voice in my head
Leave well enough alone. Just stay in Roman's ear about not abandoning the run game when it's working. Replacing him could easily cause more trouble than it's worth. He's doing an okay job, but when players are not executing, it becomes easy to misdirect all the blame on the OC.
I actually think this is what is going to happen in the future....an AI or VI will basically call the plays. Humans will still design plays....but the "art" of playcalling is really a science that is best practiced by a machine intelligence.
The first thing that would need to be hashed out is Harbaugh's LT contract and whether he stays or not. What is sounds like is that Harbaugh wants more power. THAT could be a sticking point, BIG TIME. Why? B/c it "seems" that on the surface, Harbaugh himself is married to this college-like Bo Schemblacher philosophy of offense. Like Jimmy Raye, Roman may very well be just executing what his coach wants and Harbaugh's offensive philosophy. Then again, maybe the majority of the issues ARE on Roman's plate and that is why we hired Mangini. That all needs to be hashed out first. If Jed/Baalke/Harbaugh all agree that we should be MUCH more productive (32nd in passing) and that Roman is the major factor in that, then a change is needed and we need to bring in not only a professional OC but one with a philosophy that works in today's game. Equally important in all of this is Harbaugh. Even if he is married to this philosophy, Jed/Baalke may ask Harbaugh to cut ties not only with Roman but also with the philosophy and turn the entire offense over to the new OC and focus on coaching and developing his young QB. This is the same concept with Fangio!
