If the losing streak continues, and there are a few "embarrassment games" where after a quarter we're not even competitive, I could see Marrone being shown the door and Jay Gruden given a chance as the interim HC to see what he can do over the remaining games.

Khan wanting to be "patient" to avoid being a place coaches don't even want to come to, like the Browns who fire a coach seemingly every year. Has backfired as the patience has allowed a losing culture to set in. I'd try and get a coach from the college ranks that brings a fresh approach. I doubt Bienamy comes here if he has even a single other option for a HC gig.

Greg Roman was Dave Caldwell's roommate & close friend in college. He was the guy Caldwell wanted initially instead of Gus Bradley years ago (Khan was head over heels for Gus's positivity & "just get better" mentality & Caldwell was overruled). Assuming Caldwell is retained I could see Roman finally getting the chance to coach his own team, he's excellent at designing offenses to fit the talent of the players he has at his disposal. as long as they get a DC that's not Todd Wash I could see a Roman led team doing suprisingly well early on.
