Greg Roman has signed a two-year extension with the San Francisco 49ers, taking him through the 2015 season.

Roman was a candidate for several head coaching positions, but the 49ers' Super Bowl run surely played a part in his ability to be fully considered.

The 49ers had Roman on a team-friendly contract signed in 2011 due to his relative inexperience. His new deal does not prohibit Roman from interviewing for head coaching positions.
