On Radio up here in Philly Brian Baldinger swears by 49ers D-Line coach, and even endorsed him for the Eagles HC Job. The guys name is Jim Tomsula. Check out The 49ers D-line stats since he's been there. I think he would be a good DC. Either him or Leavitt would more then likely come if we hired Roman.

I've said before that I think Roman as HC and Leavitt as DC would be very interesting. Don't know much about Tomsula though.

Found this article interesting, it even quotes aRucker tweet.

Greg Roman, Tennessee Volunteers and going down the rabbit hole - Niners Nation

We take a look at a very basic rumor about 49ers OC Greg Roman and supposed interest in the Tennessee Volunteers head coach job.

There are many signatures in the world....this one is mine!

You're not kidding! Check out this comment....
"As bad as it sounds Shaw (David Shaw) is black and from California. No way he subjects himself or his family to the negative and racist environment of Knoxville. Seriously, if he has a losing season, he’s going to have to worry about people burning crosses in front of his house. I’m not joking, there are still idiots burning crosses in Knoxville every year."
Apparently, Knoxville is nothing but racist KKK members and the coach will be the only black person in town. LOL What an idiot!
Now I don't currently live in Knoxville but I lived there for almost 5 years and never did I once hear about burning crosses! I wanted to reply but I really didn't have the time sign in a new site and comment.
Having said all of that, I'm now officially on board for the Roman Empire!!!
