The Chargers wasted zero time making changes in the wake of their loss Sunday night to the New England Patriots in an AFC wild-card game. They announced Tuesday morning they parted ways with offensive coordinator Greg Roman and offensive line coach Mike Devlin.
Hired nearly two years ago, Roman was roundly criticized for his lack of imaginative play-calling during the Chargers’ 16-3 loss to the Patriots, when their offense failed to generate more than a second-quarter field goal from Cameron Dicker. The Chargers managed only 159 yards through the air and 87 on the ground.
Quarterback Justin Herbert seemed uncertain about how to contend with the Patriots’ defense. He completed only 19 of 31 passes and scrambled for 57 yards and 10 runs. The Chargers failed to establish anything resembling a potent ground game with Kimani Vidal rushing 11 times for 31 yards.
Overall, the Chargers’ offense lacked the creativity shown by other playoff teams, including those who also were defeated in their wild-card matchups. Their plays seemed predictable and unimaginative by comparison to the winning teams, including the Patriots, who had at least one or two tricks up their sleeves.
Coach Jim Harbaugh said late Sunday night that the Chargers would look at “everything” as another lengthy offseason began. Roman was Harbaugh’s hand-picked offensive coordinator, having worked together with the San Francisco 49ers more than a decade ago in Harbaugh’s first head coaching job.
