Chargers fire offensive coordinator Greg Roman after fizzling out in playoffs
The New York Times • • sports
Key Points:
- The Los Angeles Chargers fired offensive coordinator Greg Roman and offensive line coach Mike Devlin following a disappointing 16-3 playoff loss to the New England Patriots, marking the end of Roman's two-season tenure.
- Under Roman, the Chargers' offense struggled in the postseason, scoring only 15 points across two playoff appearances, with the team also facing significant injuries that impacted offensive consistency.
- Head coach Jim Harbaugh, who has a long history with Roman, indicated a need to reevaluate the offensive strategy to better support quarterback Justin Herbert and improve postseason performance.
- Despite Roman's reputation for building strong run games elsewhere, the Chargers ranked poorly in rushing success and expected points added during his tenure, and the promised ground game never fully materialized.
