Norv Turner runs a completely differen't system-offense than what Harbaugh likes. Makes no sense. This isn't fantasy coaching.

That isn't all on Geep. 1999-2000 was still the disastrous Ryan Leaf era. Even the best minds in the entire history of football couldn't find a way to make it work with that dirtbag as their #2 overall franchise pick and being forced to start him as the GM and HC who drafted him are trying to save their jobs.

If Roman leaves the replacement OC is already on the staff. They are NOT going to bring in a whole new system because its Harbaughs system to begin with.
I though maybe Drevno before he left, but perhaps Chryst. They might look at the Stanford staff as well.
Norv? Seriously? Not gonna happen.

Actually Hue Jackson would be a very good choice,He knows the west coast offense,has a very good passing game.

I don't know bout that ..... Geep Chryst is a disciple of Coryel offense and was a coach on Turner's staff in San Diego I thought.

Harbaugh runs an offense predicated heavily on running the ball and a vertical passing offense. Norv runs an offense predicated heavily on running the ball and a vertical passing offense. I'm sure the various details could get worked out. Their offensive philosophies mesh quite well. Not saying he's a likely candidate, but all this crying about "he doesn't fit the system though" is nonsense.
Using that same logic, Chryst shouldn't be able to "fit the offense" either since he ran a digits system when he was the OC for the Chargers. Yes, the same sort of system that Norv runs.

You're contradicting yourself there. Also, there's no way that there's no way we wouldn't bring an outsider on. It's absolutely in the realm of possibility.
It's certainly possible, but less likely when you have an offensive HC. They tend to promote within, or hire someone who already has familiarity running their scheme. Defensive HCs are typically not married to any offensive scheme, nor have the expertise on that side of the ball, which is why you see so many of them cycle through coordinators of all backgrounds before finding the right fit.
Hiring someone from the Stanford staff would not be a contradiction, because they obviously run Harbaugh's scheme. Hiring a complete outsider would require the new OC to scrap much of what he did in the past, and adjust to a new philosophy. That doesn't happen often, which is why the Kelly-Shurmur pairing was so unique. It's the exception, not the rule.
