Chargers Fire OC Greg Roman and OL Coach Mike Devlin After Wild-Card Loss

The decision follows two straight playoff flops with meager production.

Overview

  • The team confirmed Tuesday that Greg Roman and Mike Devlin were dismissed less than 48 hours after a 16-3 wild-card defeat to the Patriots.
  • Los Angeles has one offensive touchdown over its last two postseason games, finishing Sunday with 207 yards, six sacks allowed and a 1-for-10 mark on third down.
  • Jim Harbaugh declined to back Roman’s future postgame, and guard Mekhi Becton said he was uncomfortable in Roman’s system this season.
  • Injuries to tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt battered protection as Justin Herbert absorbed 54 sacks and faced a league-high pressure rate, according to Next Gen Stats.
  • The Chargers will retain assistant OL coach Nick Hardwick and begin an offensive coordinator search that would give Herbert his fifth OC, with DC Jesse Minter drawing head-coach interview interest leaguewide.
