And running backs coach Tom Rathman said the Niners were lucky they've been able to keep him so long.Then 2014 happened, and Roman came to be considered more dunce than genius, as the 49ers offense looked out of sync and quarterback Colin Kaepernick seemed to take a very large step back in his development.Now, with Harbaugh gone to the University of Michigan, the 49ers are in the midst of an extensive search for a new head coach, and there is much uncertainty surrounding the team's future.
