Falcons Fan MVP 3,948 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 It can be an offensive coordinator or a defensive coordinator. Even a special teams coordinator. Our there any coordinators in the NFL that you think could make the Falcons a super bowl caliber team that is being overlooked? I've heard the Titans offensive coordinator, the 49ers defensive coordinator and the Steelers and Ravens offensive coordinators as being possibly like that. Name a coordinator that you think would be a great hire that most people wouldn't necessarily expect to be on our radar. After all don't we usually hire someone nobody is expecting anyways?

FalconDiddly18 1,253 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I like the idea of hiring Greg Roman OC baltimore. Lamar Jackson was very raw coming out of college and his first year in the league but in his first year with Roman as OC he won MVP. Roman was also SF OC from 2011-2014 and had Alex Smith playing well then had Kaepernick playing well. His offenses are physical. With his time with the ravens, 49ers and Bills I think he'd bring a good DC with him. Ovie_Lover, Falcons Fan MVP, aer2033 and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

UnrealfalcoN 4,179 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Greg Roman should top the list of any team's head-coaching search. Roman has fielded a top-eight ground attack in all seven of his years as an offensive coordinator with three different teams. In 2019, he called plays for the No. 1 scoring offense in the league, which featured the Baltimore Ravens' rising star quarterback, Lamar Jackson. Based on Roman's track record, he doesn't just put together strong ground attacks. He pressures opponents on the scoreboard as well. In six out of seven terms, his units have ranked 12th or higher in scoring. Last season, the Ravens recorded a franchise-record 531 points. Most importantly, Roman has developed and optimized the skill sets of mobile quarterbacks, including Alex Smith, Colin Kaepernick, Tyrod Taylor and Jackson. That's a key aspect as the position evolves with more athletic signal-callers under center. With Roman calling the shots, Smith helped lead the 49ers to a 13-3 record, Kaepernick went to a Super Bowl, Taylor earned his first Pro Bowl nod, and Jackson became a Pro Bowler, All-Pro and league MVP. Roman would be a good fit for a team that plans to rebuild with a rookie signal-caller who can beat defenses with his arm and legs. He could pair with Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields elsewhere in 2021. Sidecar Falcon, FalconDiddly18, PokerSteve and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CraigSmackDaddy 2,089 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Roman will be a HC next season. Not sure it’s here but somewhere. I like him as an option a lot more than Jim Harbaugh who I’ve seen mentioned on TATF. FalconDiddly18, Sidecar Falcon and aer2033 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jpg428gggg 1,689 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I prefer an offensive head coach who can build a strong running game. Our team is built around the offense so let’s play to our strengths. Hand the reins of the defense over to someone that is aggressive. We have holes on our defense but we have guys who can take over games. I am tired of the passive cover three defense which we cannot play. We make too many simple mistakes to be effective. Greg Roman would be a great choice based on what I have read about him. PokerSteve 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ATLFalcon36 2,926 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I would honestly hire Mike McDaniels (who should have been our OC after Kyle) as HC and have him get a Saleh-like young, but proven DC. Chitown2ATL_Falcon and 4LoveoftheGame 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DriveHomeSafelyAtlantaWins 2,036 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I'll take O'Brien as GM and HC, just like he is in Houston. I think they have a great team that is always relevant. I know he's on the hot seat for how he handled KC in the playoffs last year. But gimme a break, that was KC, the eventual dominant superbowl winner. He meets the main criteria -- he has done it before, and yet somehow the place he did it is dumb enough to let him go (if they do). opensource001 and treboyplay 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlazerSlayer 434 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I'm not a fan of 'flavor of the month' coaches who have a great defense one year and then get pulled into a HC role. Give me the guy with a long track record no matter where he's been. So Toub and Roman are strong choices IMO. And stay away from ex Patriot coaches- everyone should have learned that by now.
