If Roman Leaves, how about Chud?

I'm starting to wonder if the dude is just a lousy interview. He's got the resume for the Penn State job certainly, but he might not have the demeanor/charisma needed.

Or it could be playoff success has hurt his chances. Teams don't want to wait till February to hire a coach.

Coaches don't win games without talent. Just as Harbaugh gets input on choosing various players, I'm sure Baalke would be involved when it comes to replacing someone like Roman. Nothing just happens in a vacuum.

Exactly. Jcool, are you kidding me? This team is built to win Superbowls, not rack up wins. Jed, like his uncle, has the highest standards now and will not settle for double-digit wins w/o challenging or winning the Superbowl every year esp. entering the new stadium era. After 18+ games this year and an off season to boot (and last year), there are plenty of obvious patterns and questions Baalke will have of Harbaugh and this system/philosophy. This isn't about you being happy where we are at now b/c of the poor recent past but where we are going and should be at and Baalke is a GM who is constantly 2 and 3 years down the road.

This. The philosophy would remain the same because it is Harbaugh's philosophy, thus run-heavy and vertical passing. People acting like an outside OC can't figure out how to pull that off amuse the heck out of me though, acting as if this team is running a pure WCO which is anything but accurate. If nothing else, maybe a more WCO-friendly OC could make better use of the short to intermediate passsing.

Well if you are correct then Harbaugh wont be coaching here much longer. No successful head coach is going to let the front office dictate to him who is on his staff.

Also the only people who think Roman has been doing a bad job are on this message board.

Really, so the announcers during the games haven't been regularly going "WTF?" at the playcalling this season?

a lot of us have been making comments about Geep Chryst getting the OC gig after Roman leaves? ...but what if Tomsula, Fangio or Roman leave and takes Chryst with them? ....hopefully Harbaugh has a plan in place so our next OC hits the ground running

The flaw with this logic is that Chryst (or anyone else) follow a coordinator leaving will most likely be going to a rebuilding situation. Assuming Chryst would get offered the OC job with the Redskins or Vikings and the 49ers ... which would you take. Why drive a Prius when you can strap into a Ferrari.

Rathman was also a high candidate when Harbaugh was originally selecting his staff. He maybe a candidate for oc if we happen to loose Roman an other offensive choaches.

I've been thinking about this for a while, and I wanted to get the opinion of others here. If Roman leaves for Penn St. or another HC job, would the Niners look at Chudzinski to fill the OC role? His work with the Panthers and Newton would closely mirror the situation here with Kaepernick - both are teams built around Defense and the running game and a QB who is more Athlete/thrower than pocket passer. By all accounts, Chud is a terrific guy to work with and an smart offensive mind. He also got a career year out of Derek Anderson when he was OC of the Browns in 07.

What do people think of Chud as OC?
