The Facts: Greg Roman is taking the reins of the Baltimore Ravens offense going forward. Roman, who was the team's tight ends coach and assistant head coach, will take over the offensive coordinator duties from Marty Mornhinweg, the Ravens have confirmed.
Diehards Line:
Mornhinweg has been asked to stay on the staff in another capacity, according to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport noted that with Lamar Jackson taking over down the stretch, the Ravens' offense leaned heavily on the running game which was fostered by Roman and led by the rookie QB. With Jackson under center, the team rebounded to earn an AFC North title and a trip to the playoffs. The Ravens lost on Wild Card Weekend to the Los Angeles Chargers, 23-17. Rapoport added the move signals the franchise is "fully invested" in quarterback Lamar Jackson and that head coach John Harbaugh "isn't going anywhere for a while." Rapoport expanded on Mornhinweg stepping to the side for Roman, stating that it would be up to Mornhinweg to work under Roman.
