For those wanting to lay all the blame for the offensive problems on Pep, think again.

Living out here in San Francisco, the complaints about the offense are eerily similar to the complaints 49ers fans had back in 2014 when Greg Roman was the OC.

I’ve cut and pasted a few select quotes from an old article from Bleacher Report circa Dec 2014. The quotes are by Matt Burrows of the Sacramento Bee-anything sound familiar?

“In the end, Harbaugh built the system, assembled the coaching pieces, picked the quarterback and trained the quarterback. Roman is a convenient fall guy. But the ultimate responsibility lies with Harbaugh.”

“The 49ers have a huge and expensive offensive staff. Including Harbaugh and entry-level assistants, they have 12 coaches on offense, which currently ranks 23rd in the NFL in yards per game”

“The problem is that the sprawling offensive staff has created a complex and byzantine offensive system. The 49ers are bad on offense not because of one individual but because so many different individuals have a say. It’s like asking a dozen people to make one omelet. Too many cooks spoil the dish and too many assistants stop the offense.”
