Chicago Bears: Five offensive head coaching candidates to consider
By Usayd Koshul
2) Greg Roman, Baltimore Ravens
He made it work with Colin Kaepernick and then later with Lamar Jackson. If the Bears are going to draft a guy like Trey Lance in 2021, then someone like Greg Roman could make the most sense. Much like Daboll, Roman is another guy who builds his offense around what his quarterback is able to do.
With the NFL emphasizing mobility in quarterbacks, Roman would be a perfect fit for the Bears, especially since both of Roman’s previous star quarterbacks have been mobile. Roman’s rise in the NFL has been fun to watch too. He was part of a few San Francisco 49ers’ teams that were at the top of the NFC throughout the early 2010s.
Since 2017, he’s been one of the faces of the Baltimore Ravens coaching staff. After starting off as an offensive assistant and tight ends coach in 2017, he was promoted to assistant head coach in 2018 before being promoted to offensive coordinator in 2019, where his offense averaged 33.2 points per game.

Some may not be convinced Roman is the answer, however, at 48 years old, he’s clearly proven that he deserves a chance at being a head coach somewhere in the NFL. The biggest question for the Bears would be, do they present an attractive enough opening that’s going to pry Roman away from Baltimore?
