Coordinators Meet the Press

Posted by Taylor Price on February 16, 2011 – 3:29 PM



The new 49ers coordinators met with the Bay Area media on Wednesday for the first time since joining the organization last month. Each was certainly impressive in doing so.

Greg Roman (pictured above), Brad Seely and Vic Fangio each took turns addressing cameras and reporters, where the offensive, special teams and defensive coordinator spoke at length on a wide variety of topics.

We’ll give each coach special attention by featuring their comments on a daily basis to close out this week, but to give you a quick common theme of the three, they were passionate and well informed on the game of football.

They all spoke glowingly of the opportunity at hand.

“To be in the 49ers organization is a dream of mine,” said Roman, who we’ll have more on later today.

“We have a real chance to make a jump in a hurry,” Seely said in explaining his reasoning to work for the 49ers.

“The NFL is a man’s game, it’s physical, so that’s a big difference,” Fangio said of the differences from coaching at Stanford last season to being back at the pro level.

The biggest news to come from the discussions centered on the league’s collective bargaining agreement and how a lockout potentially changes their ability to coach the players past March 3 when the current CBA expires.

According to Roman, coaches will not be able to have contact with the players after the deadline. Fangio will focus on what he can control and will roll with the punches as they come. So far he’s been getting to know the players around the facility while spending time watching last year’s game tape.

    Where do I go to try out for the team? I’m not kidding either, as I need at least a chance, I’m only 31, and I’m tired of having near heart attacks because I’m not on the field. Try me.

    Tommy Rubcic, you can probably find information on that if you visit the 49ers practice facility in the Spring.

    I am so impressed with this coaching staff. We no longer have to kid ourselves as we did with our former inept coaches. Greg Roman sounds like the perfect football coach for our elite 49ers franchise. I have never heard him speak until tonight and I am so pumped as a fan for our future. Harbaugh and Roman will now have to decide whether or not to rest our starters this season after we begin 14-0. Godspeed Roman and Harbaugh! Go Niners!!!

    John Martins 14-0? Serious? You must be choking on that poisoned coffee of yours. Chemistry is build over the years. These guys won’t even see the players based on the CBA. If your seriously thinking we’re going 14-0 next year I’m willing to put $1,000 on that they lose.

    Nice to hear we have experienced coaches . Of course, action speaks louder than words, but our staff the last few years offered little or no chance of success.

    WHA?- Agreeing that we need a QB….( Who is Not a SMITH Brother ALEX or VERNON) – & Lord willing we survive CBA – To even see a “season”. Coach Harbaugh being a Deciple of the SF West coast offense will put his “twist” on it and San Francisco will be a DYNASTY once again-”Hallalujah!!!” Coordinators Roman,Seely & Fangio (Great choices :) ) seem excieted and “pumped” to get started -Awesome!!- But, “PLEASE” make a concerted effort to get Veteran QB to get a “Jump in a hurry” on the season. God Bless You all for your efforts and accomplishments so far. Thank You Mr Baalke- Great Job by you and the front office. Goooo NINERS!!!!! – Gunny

    C’mon J Martin, the best we’ll be able to do is 12-4 (isn’t it big fun to finally let your day-dreams (re: Niners) run free? Wow! Realistically, I believe deep down that we will be competitive and very interesting to watch – once again.
    While I obviously hope the team does very well, I am not too caught up in what their final won/lost record is. Just to be back looking like “The Niners” again is more than enough for me. I am getting up there – actually, I am ALREADY “up there” so for me to get a chance to see fantastic Niner football again is a real treat to look forward to. Go Niners!!!!

    i’m excited for all the new coaching staff in the up-coming season. although, i will not be so fast to say that harbaugh and his crews will be a success until the middle of the season. remember, college ball is much different than pros. i agree that we need a good veteran quaterback and like to see nate davis to get his shot as he do deserves.

    As long last I want to watch a 9ers game, I can’t wait for the season to begin. our new coaches will put the FUN back in 9ers football.
    Are we there yet ,,, gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo9ers

    We already had the pieces of the puzzle when it comes to players to reach the playoffs, but now that we have quality coaching to go with those players and what looks to be a strong draft, we should be able to easily make the playoffs this year and be a favorite for the Super Bowl for the 2012 season.
