GREG ROMAN - A COORDINATOR FOR HIRE

Originally posted by Kauaiguy:
My glaring problem with Greg Roman is his inability to make 2nd half adjustments, or to put it more bluntly ... make adjustments on the fly.

He is great when he's given ample time to prepare for an opponent, but we have seen it time and time again ... the 49er's inability to score points in the 2nd half.

Coincidentally that's when most games are won or lost.

In regards to him getting hired, he may get hired as an Offensive coordinator by another team and let's face it, some team can't even generate enough points in the 1st half of the game ... but I would be shocked if he were hired as a Head Coach!

Maybe Jim Harbaugh finally saw the light and that's why he didn't bring him along to Michigan.

Agreed. Although we were 1-3 after the bye week, that 1 non loss was a tie and we lost the Superbowl (2 weeks to prepare). And let's not forget that epic game plan against Seattle after 9 months to prepare at home.

First of all, did you ever think that it was Roman that didn't want to go to Michigan instead of the other way around. IF that was the case, he made the right decision because there are a bunch of teams that are interested and it looks like his nfl career isn't over yet.

Now, on to the 2nd half adjustments. We were terribly bad this year in that department. However, this isn't Roman's 1st year as coordinator. We easily forget all the games we had to come from behind With Alex. Do you remember the Lions, Cincinati, Eagles, Giants (regular season), Seahawks (only Harbaugh win at Quest) and Saints games? With Kaep, Seattle twice, ( at home) , Arizona twice, NE, ATL,(playoffs) GB (the 2nd time in the playoffs).

This is just off the top of my head. This doesn't include the games we barely lost or the games we got close to winning but couldn't finish (I.e. The last game of the season the past 2 years) or the games we had a commanding lead and we didn't have to make adjustments.

Also, the players are also expected to make adjustments as well. Maybe, the fact that our offense was so successful in the 1st quarter this year COULD be a sign that the players excecute better plays that have been practiced all week, and don't execute as well "on the fly."

Finally, look at Keaps record at Nevada. He won some big games but also had bad games against teams he had no business having bad games against. Sound familiar? I mean how many in game adjustments do you honestly think NY, Wash, and Oakland were making?

Just some things to think about while you unload on the easy to pick on scapegoat on his way out the door.

Um he tried to evolve the offense this year and that was a complete disaster. Kap was clearly not ready to run it. He also stopped the read/option because defenses had figured it out.

Lol tried to evolve the offense

lol at the people defending Roman.

Anyone remember the fly sweep toss or whatever it was to Ted Ginn in St.Louis from our own 15 yard line? Fumble and Rams TD that ensued would pretty much seal our fate for that game.

3 straight passes to Crabtree at the end of the Superbowl? Just 5 yards away when Gore had piled up 130 yards that game?!

The games he called this year were the ones that sealed his fate. This season was a complete disaster on the offensive side of the ball, it's a little harder to bring up specific situations because he sucked every f**king game. I will say that his game plan against in Seattle this season was not too bad.

But yeah, this guy sucks. Flat out incompetent OC. I think I read somewhere that his only prior OC experience was in high school.

f**k Roman, oh and by the way, f**k HARBAUGH.

Lack of "In game" thinking has been the niners problem since...well...there were those games when Johnson replaced Raye as OC...

Think about some of the playcalls during playoff games alone! Lateral to Williams on a wet field, running into a stacked line for four straight goal line plays, throwing to Crabtree three times in a row at the goalline...so many hugely disappointing calls against a few really clever good calls.

No, it's been just impossible to judge players given the erratic playcalling. Maybe we'll all be surprised next year by the team falling flat on its face and learn it was all player mediocrity and not the coaches...but is that likely? No.

Roman sucks.

Roman should go back to being a TEs coach.

But FG kickers usually aren't very good in high school

Can't blame if Kap targeted Crabs 3 plays in row on that final drive. I'm sure there's more than 1 read.

Not with a zero blitz.

Warriors world is saying Roman's gone to the Bills with Rex.
