His exact title remains undetermined, but some reports indicate a likely focus on the running game, potentially as a run game coordinator or offensive assistant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Roman, 53, brings deep expertise in ground-and-pound schemes, play-action passing, and tight end utilization\u2014hallmarks of his career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Roman previously worked extensively with John Harbaugh as the Baltimore Ravens&#8217; offensive coordinator from 2019 to 2022, following roles as tight ends coach and assistant head coach. That tenure included transforming the Ravens&#8217; offense around Lamar Jackson, earning Roman AP NFL Assistant Coach of the Year honors in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Expert NFL picks: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (nfl)|e|auto spike click:5|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/picks\">Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">He also coordinated offenses for the San Francisco 49ers (under Jim Harbaugh, leading to Super Bowl XLVII), Buffalo Bills, and, most recently, the Los Angeles Chargers (2024-2025 under Jim Harbaugh), where he was fired after a playoff loss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Harbaugh had interviewed Roman for the offensive coordinator role, which went to Matt Nagy, but pursued him anyway after missing out on Todd Monken. Roman&#8217;s ties to the Harbaugh brothers date back to Stanford (2009-2010) and the 49ers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">A New Jersey native, he now reunites with John Harbaugh to help revitalize the Giants&#8217; offense, centered on second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"gnt_em_cp_cw_i\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1770385814_325_86373428007-square-1.jpg\" data-gl- decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Updated Feb. 6, 2026, 6:52 a.m. ET Editor&#8217;s note: Roman&#8217;s official title will be senior offensive assistant.
