Overview
- The team dismissed offensive coordinator Greg Roman and offensive line coach Mike Devlin days after the Wild Card defeat to the Patriots.
- Los Angeles is casting a wide net for the role and interviewed pass-game coordinator Marcus Brady first, according to team and local reports.
- Harbaugh says the next hire will have significant autonomy running the offense, with no set timeline as he, GM Joe Hortiz and assistant GM Chad Alexander conduct interviews.
- Justin Herbert will not be involved in the process as leadership targets a coordinator who can elevate production after just one playoff touchdown in two years.
- Injuries to tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt fueled protection issues as Herbert was sacked 54 times, and the club is preparing for the possibility that DC Jesse Minter departs for an NFL head-coaching job.
