Greg Roman

Since becoming the Ravens' offensive coordinator in the 2019 season, Roman has been credited with implementing a new style of offense, centered around quarterback Lamar Jackson, which helped propel them to a 14-2 record and the AFC North division title.

In 2017, the Ravens (coached by Jim Harbaugh's brother John) hired Roman as a senior offensive assistant and tight ends coach; in 2018 he was promoted to assistant head coach and tight ends coach. In 2019, the Ravens opted to completely revamp the offense and the then offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg decided to retire. Roman, who had coached Colin Kaepernick at San Francisco was promoted to offensive coordinator and tasked with the development of a new, dynamic offense. This new offense would be a combination of his experiences as a tight ends coach and the knowledge he had gained from reading hundreds of football books centered on the Ravens new quarterback, Lamar Jackson and running back Mark Ingram. In Roman's first full season in charge of the Ravens' offense, after 12 games, the team averaged 33.8 points per game; best in the NFL.

When Harbaugh left Stanford in 2011 to become head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, Roman followed and was named the offensive coordinator. He remained at the position until 2014. On January 12, 2015, Roman was hired by the Buffalo Bills to be their offensive coordinator under newly hired head coach Rex Ryan. On September 16, 2016, Roman was relieved of his duties after a 37–31 loss to the New York Jets.

Roman's first coaching job was with the Carolina Panthers where he started as the unpaid strength and conditioning coach. He worked his way up through the ranks and then onto the Houston Texans (2002–2005), the Baltimore Ravens (2006–2007). Roman then worked under Jim Harbaugh at Stanford. In 2010, Roman was a finalist for the Broyles Award, given annually to the nation's top college football assistant coach.

Roman was born in Atlantic City, New Jersey and grew up in nearby Ventnor. He and his two older brothers were raised by his mom after his parents divorced, Roman never had a relationship with his father. At age 10, with his family strapped for cash, Roman got his first job as a paperboy for the Atlantic City Press; during the summers he worked as a "runner" on the beaches of South Jersey. The money he made, in addition to helping to support his family, helped him to pay for his education at a nearby private high school. He graduated from Holy Spirit High School in Absecon, New Jersey where he played football for the Holy Spirit Spartans. In his senior year at Holy Spirit, he was named to the All-South Jersey team. After graduation in 1991, Roman got an academic scholarship to attend John Carroll University in the Cleveland suburbs.
