Arizona State University Offensive Coordinator Jeff Roman had a press conference today announcing his decisionon ending his college football career.
"I've grown to love these guys," he said. "But I feel to truly expand my career I must take a step forward into professional football, and the offer I have been given is one I would be foolish to ignore."
Jeff Roman has been a member of ASU athletics for 15 years. Beginning as an offensive line assistant coach, he has risen up the ranks to assistant head coach and offensive coordinator. He was the only member of this original staff to still be a part of ASU. By implementing speed and power compliments with mobility on the outside and strength up the middle, his offense always was atop the ranks during his era. He usually succeeded best when using speedy receivers and a mobile quarterback. It wouldn't be much different than most systems despite the fact that when it comes to the running game, it's all downhill power running. He has thrived with plus size backs and lineman who can knock defenders over rather than ones with good footwork. Despite a crushing loss in the Holiday Bowl, Roman had been offered a position as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons.
"Expect to see changes," he told reporters. "I will revolutionize the professional game of football one play at a time. A Super Bowl For Atlanta in four years. That's a promise."
My name is Tyler Miller, and I was an athletic assistant for the Arizona State football team. Jeff Roman and I had built up a relationship my last years there, and he has asked me to come with him to Atlanta and be his assistant, an offer I just cannot refuse. I will be telling his story from the field to to the film room and everywhere in between.
Once I get settled in he and I are going to talk over his plan here for the Falcons and what he plans on achieving. And more importantly, how.
