Roman benefits from Harbaugh being an offensive genius. Either way they are way too confident letting coaches slip away so I'm guessing have some handshake agreement with one of the NFCC OC's.
I think that the letter sent by Brown's owner is available at

I am not sure what this letter confirms.
it doesnt confirm that its Roman they are after but they arent hiring anybody yet cuz they want someone who is still coaching in the playoffs
We understood from the beginning that if we wanted to speak to all of the coaches on our list that we may need to wait until they have completed their participation in the playoffs. We are prepared to wait as long as necessary because this is a very important decision
Could be Roman, Could be Fangio, Could be Gase, McDaniels already turned them down or it could be the the OC from the other team left in the playoffs
also this
Matt Barrows @mattbarrows No #49ers assistants connected with #Browns opening. But Cleveland GM, Mike Lombardi, is tight with Jim Harbaugh from their Raiders days.
