He helped bring out the best in David Carr. Went from Stanford and Andrew Luck to the 49'ers and Alex Smith and as OC substancially improved their offense fairly quickly with a QB whose talent was being questioned and in the first year their W/L record improved. Pretty impressive if you ask me and since the poster before me expressed something along the lines of how well they were doing after halftime and a change in QB's, not against just any defense but the Bears defense, I expressed my opinion on Greg Roman. He seems to be successful wherever he goes be it college or pros.

Indeed. I read all the articles linked to TWP and even being skeptical about analysts/sports-writers the variety of evidence given is pretty overwhelming. He's got a proven track record and sounds like everybody thinks he is or can be a great leader. That's partly why it seems just plain crazy there's interest in K. Shanahan as an HC...what owner/GM/VP is gonna risk their team/job on someone far less accomplished than what's available on the market?
But it's not just more potential for offense with Roman as HC, it means more potential with the defense too because Mike would be removed from the equation. It's pretty darn exciting actually...
