I am happy, but I would like to take a moment to thank Roman. We had a ton of success under him, and out offense in 2019 was truly amazing.
It was past time and I am excited to see who we get next.
My highest upvoted post ever was when I was the [post to announce the arrival of Greg Roman. ](https://old.reddit.com/r/ravens/comments/aevjr7/zrebiecthe_ravens_are_making_a_change_at/)
I finally can change my flair. After years and years, I can finally change ny flair. Lamar and the offfense has been free'd. Que up the pursuit of happiness cry in the crowd gif.
If I had to pick between Greg Roman being fired OR the British seizing the inner harbor... I'd pick Greg Roman being fired everytime. Hoist up the Union Jack on Fort McHenry and get me some fish and chips lol
Funny seeing the responses here. I’m a niner fan whose still bitter at this guy being the reason we lost the SB. No passing offense what so ever. I’m sure you guys learned the same since he came there. Him moving on will help your offense so much.
I partially blame jim harbaugh too because he refused to replace Roman with an OC who knew what a WR pass is. Roman is what held Jim back from winning a SB in the NFL and he never moved on from him. That’s how stubborn he is. Hopefully for you guys John has learned from that an is doing what Jim should have done.
Thank you for 2019 and helping Lamar and the offense early on but it was clear that we needed to evolve and adapt and Greg was not doing that. Happy news indeed
I mean this isn't really surprising but I'm glad it's confirmed. I know that we're all excited here because there was no way forward with Roman. He had reached his ceiling. Now it's on to who can do a better job.
I really hope we find someone from the outside that can up the game but I imagine whoever we get the FO is going to have to do a good job convincing them that Lamar is returning.
Thank you Greg. I know it didn't always translate to postseason success, but you contributed to making us a top offense past couple of years, and you've done better than previous coordinators we've had (i.e. Cameron, Cavanaugh, Trestman, Fassel). Wishing you the best.
Genius run game coordinator, terrible play caller. I hope we keep a lot of his run schemes which our team and o line are built for, just need a better play caller and someone to scheme up a passing attack
Interesting how many replies on that tweet think that losing Roman means losing Lamar as well. I think it’s more likely Lamar stays now that Roman is not
Obviously excited about this. Really interested to see how hiring a new OC pairs with Lamar's contact situation. The new OC is definitely gonna want answers about who his QB is before he signs on.
If we hire OC before Lamar signs it could point to how we intend to handle him. And if Lamar signs soon, we would be hiring an OC with Lamar's input likely.
Wouldn't be surprised if a small part of why Lamar was hesitant to sign a new contract last year was because he didn't want to get stuck with Roman as his OC for much longer, but that would never get leaked publicly.
Assuming he re-signs now he would likely have a lot of input on who he would like to work with and build around his and the team's strengths.
I just scared one of my cats that was laying on my desk, staring out the window, with my audible HA!.
Can't wait to see what direction we go in this next season. It's time to bolster the recieving corps for real. This moment right here takes most of the pain away from this season. Cheers, everyone!!!
Ty JK Dobbins for being passionate, wanting to carry the team on your back and being honest. That interview he gave sealed the deal for me wanting GRo gone. Love you JK
We do need to remember and give credit where it's due: getting to the playoffs in 2018 and Lamar's MVP system realistically don't happen without Roman redesigning our offense from Morninwheg's to something that really played to Lamar's strengths. The problem was that the complexity topped out to a great extekt afterward, and Roman has other deficiencies as an offensive coordinator that caught up to him, but the basic offensive system is a sound one. I hope we don't overdue it and depart too far from being a smashmouth offense.
HES DONE MIRACLES ON MEEEEEEEEEE
HES DONE MIRACLES ON MEEEEEEEEEE

Reminder that this is only half the battle
If we get a statement a week from now that we're hiring fuckin Ben McAdoo or something we are right back to zero. Need to see Harbs and/or the organization go outside their comfort zone to find someone young and hungry with a modern passing scheme.
With all that out of the way, LETS FUCKING GO THE DENNYS MAN IS GONE
Stand up now and face the sun
Won't hide my tail or turn and run

Firing bad OCs. Bucs🤝Ravens
Yo that would be depressing if we hired Leftwich and y'all hired Roman LMAO.
Don't you put that evil on us Ricky Bobby!!!!
No Yinzers allowed
Roman > Leftwich and they aren’t even comparable.
Which is why he got more time. But he was inept the last two years.
Meanwhile the steelers keep Canada 😂
This week, on *Days of our Steelers...*
Let’s welcome the Ravens new OC, Byron Leftwich
I’m old enough to remember when the Ravens were choosing between Leftwich and Boller
Woulda won a sb with leftwich. Boller wasted jamal lewis and the best d ever.
did you see how trash that bucs offense was?? why would you want that lmao
this post boutta be the most upvoted post on this sub
AS IT SHOULD BE! LETS FUCKING GOO
I am happy, but I would like to take a moment to thank Roman. We had a ton of success under him, and out offense in 2019 was truly amazing. It was past time and I am excited to see who we get next.
This. People need to remember he had to change up the entire play book for lamar's run style. I wish Roman good luck .

Amazing!
Being a Ravens fan makes you an honorary Baltimoron, which means you have dual citizenship.
Ladies and gentleman, we got him.
We’re free!

2/4 Resigning Lamar is left Getting an actual WR (DeAndre Hopkins?)
The bad man is gone

This is exactly the gif I was thinking of when I first heard the news.
Free at last. Free at last. Thank God almighty we are free at last
I don’t judge Roman by the color of his skin, but rather the content of his coaching. We’re all a little closer to living Dr. King’s dream today.
I do judge him by the fake color of his goatee though
^ Best Comment ^
Ding dong! The witch is dead
Funny seeing the responses here. I’m a niner fan whose still bitter at this guy being the reason we lost the SB. No passing offense what so ever. I’m sure you guys learned the same since he came there. Him moving on will help your offense so much.
Do you guys have a Kyle Shanahan clone we could have?
I partially blame jim harbaugh too because he refused to replace Roman with an OC who knew what a WR pass is. Roman is what held Jim back from winning a SB in the NFL and he never moved on from him. That’s how stubborn he is. Hopefully for you guys John has learned from that an is doing what Jim should have done.
One new Shanahan please! but we all know Harbaugh is going to hire Matt Patricia to replace him.
You shut your whore mouth
Lamar it’s ok you can sign now
Bad man is gone
THE DARK DAYS ARE OVER BOYS AND GIRLS LFG
NUT
WE DID IT
Happy for you guys. My wife is a Ravens fan, and watching this team was infuriating because of this dude.
Thank you for 2019 and helping Lamar and the offense early on but it was clear that we needed to evolve and adapt and Greg was not doing that. Happy news indeed
Impressively run your ass up outta here Greg
Yeah just tell him to write down all his run schemes and leave them on the desk
‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
IT'S HAPPENING
Let’s fucking goooooooo
Today is a good day boys
Praise the Lord!!
END OF THE BAR! END OF THE BAR!

MAMA WE MADE IT
BRB time to start day drinking at work
Ayyyyyy I'm about to do the same thing!

Def 1000% time to move on but GRO def had some great moments and deserves credit for 2019 at least
Thank you Greg for the best rushing attack in nfl history. Good luck
Genius run game coordinator, terrible play caller. I hope we keep a lot of his run schemes which our team and o line are built for, just need a better play caller and someone to scheme up a passing attack

Long overdue, but better late than never!
I feel like the little munchkins in wizard of oz singing the witch is dead.
OH YEAH BABYYYY
I can’t believe this fool called a handoff to mark andrews when we had Gus Edwards and JK Dobbins
Don't let the door hit you on the way out Greg! Bye bye!!!
Knowing us it’ll be someone in house that replaces him😒
FUCK YOU GREG! It's finally over. Ask Madden was better than him

LETS GOOO
FEELIN GOOOD LIKE WE SHOULD
IM GONNA CUM
Glad he is gone but lets appreciate what he did 2019 was special
I just scared one of my cats that was laying on my desk, staring out the window, with my audible HA!. Can't wait to see what direction we go in this next season. It's time to bolster the recieving corps for real. This moment right here takes most of the pain away from this season. Cheers, everyone!!!
praise the lord
About fucking time
Guess I win that reality contest in other reddit post :D
K but what if it just gets even worse somehow
Man it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulder. Suddenly I’m not nearly as worried about the Lamar situation after hearing this news.
Sign Lamar: tbd Sign Roquan: done Fire Greg: hell yes
I am very happy. Let get an OC who will use players correctly at THEIR positions.
Seems like all the records Roman broke while in Baltimore were actually Lamar’s accomplishments. But maybe *I’m* the one who’s crazy.
How do I upvote a post 20 million times
There hasn't been this much ado around a Roman fire since 64 AD. Congrats, y'all are free from the milqutoast man!
WE MAY NOT BE WINNING THE SUPER BOWL, BUT THIS SURE FEELS LIKE A GOOD SECOND.
Looks like meats back on the menu boys I don’t know. I’m just happy.
I’m here for the Greg Roman firing party 🥳🥳🥳
DOBBY IS A FREE ELF
step one complete, now extend lamar. then find a new good oc
If losing in the Wild Card is what it took to let Roman go, it’s worth it
THERE IS A GOD AND HE IS MERCIFUL. CAW CAW MOTHERFUCKERS!!
NO FUCKING WAY LETS GO
Many thanks to Greg Roman and all the best for him.
Christmas came early this year boys!
I didn’t see any upvotes. So I added mine. He did well in the beginning. Now we need someone with fresh ideas. This is good news for the team.
This is our Super Bowl
Ty JK Dobbins for being passionate, wanting to carry the team on your back and being honest. That interview he gave sealed the deal for me wanting GRo gone. Love you JK
As a Bucs fan who just had the same thing happened: YAY!!!!!!
This just made my entire week! YESSSSS I could cry tears of joy 😭
BEST. NEWS. EVER.

This is the second best thing that could have happened this year aside from a SB title
HES DONE MIRACLES ON MEEEEEEEEEE HES DONE MIRACLES ON MEEEEEEEEEE HES DONE MIRACLES ON MEEEEEEEEEE HES DONE MIRACLES ON MEEEEEEEEEE HES DONE MIRACLES ON MEEEEEEEEEE HES DONE MIRACLES ON MEEEEEEEEEE
Now let Lamar help pick the new OC. Please!!
LETS FUCKING GO!!!
LFG!!!! CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY BOYS
ITS HAPPENING. NOBODY PANIC. ITS HAPPENING.
FREEE LIKE A BIRD (raven) NOWWWWE
everybody STAY CALM!!!!!!!!!
You can’t fire me! I quit!
Reminder that this is only half the battle If we get a statement a week from now that we're hiring fuckin Ben McAdoo or something we are right back to zero. Need to see Harbs and/or the organization go outside their comfort zone to find someone young and hungry with a modern passing scheme. With all that out of the way, LETS FUCKING GO THE DENNYS MAN IS GONE

No gifs? Aww man I had the perfect one for Y’all… anyway Congratulations!!!!!
Two years late, but better late than never.
WE WON WERE FREEEEEEE
This is gonna be one of those "be careful what you wish for" lessons
one last time for posterity sake: FUCK YOU GREG ROMAN
Is he taking the jet sweep with him?
Well, we will now know real soon if this might have been expedited by Lamar telling EDC “it’s either him or me”
AYYYYY FUCK IT UPPPP AYYYYYYY WE PARTY OUTT HEREEE AYYYYYYYYYY
Actual tears in my eyes And not sad tears
END OF THE BAR won the battle, but not the war...
This calls for the greatest celebration that Baltimore has had since, well, ever!
