Guys have done it before. Mainly were previous coaches I believe (Dungy, Gruden, etc).

Yeah, Gruden did after a decade hiatus....and isn't his contract 10 years for $100 million.

Dungy did not have a broadcasting stint in between coaching jobs.
He was fired from the Bucs HC job Jan. 14th, 2002 - - then 8 days later to be the Colts HC. He retired lfrom Indianapolis in January 2009; 5 months later, Dungy when to NBC....and has been there ever since on the pregame show Football Night in America. And this year he joined play-by-play announcer Mike Tirico to be the commentator for Norte Dame Football games on NBC.

ALL game long Romo was spot on the money. He recognized our defense and the flaws that Big Ben spotted in it. He broke down Pitts defense and how to beat it. It's mind boggling how he sits in a booth next to Cowboy coaches and he's seeing stuff that they don't see or they are seeing and don't know how to offset it. Either way I would rather have my money on Romo than MM who doesn't have a clue on how to win in this league anymore!

I’m sorry man, but that would probably be a complete disaster. Surely we have more respect for the coaching profession than to think a guy with zero experience coaching could just swoop in and be effective.

Being a head coach at almost any level of competition requires some seasoning. Sure Tony Romo can read defenses. That’s a helluva lot easier than preparing an entire NFL team to compete. Being an NFL HC is so much more challenging than most people realize.

Tony Romo is not even close to being ready.

Honestly, I have been guilty of throwing coal into a few Christmas stockings from time-to-time.

These threads are silly. You can't just hire a guy with zero coaching experience and give him the highest of coaching jobs.

In the NBA, it has happened a few times...two that come to mind were Magic Johnson a couple of decades ago (Los Angeles Lakers) and now Steve Nash (Brooklyn Nets) -- but transition to head coach in basketball without experience is possible because the team is way smaller.....and great point guards are basically coaches on the floor when they played.

Wasn't a fan of him during playing days, but a HUGE fan of his as an analyst.

How much does Romo make by sitting on his behind for 3 hrs a week and gets to go home and be with his beautiful family? Why would he give that you to live a life of a couch.

I'm sure announcers have to do some 'homework' prepping for each upcoming game, so it's a lot more than 3 hours a week. (Studying a lot of things to know what sort of things they may expect to announce or not announce, doing homework on each QB, etc) But yes, still far easier than being an HC.

I beg to differ, if Romo wanted to be a head coach in the NFL I believe he could do and be very successful one ON DAY ONE. His football knowledge is off the charts and his ability to spot the different schemes and relate them back to his audience is a gift that not many people have in the NFL. Could you imagine him sitting in team meetings breaking down everything about the different football teams to his coaches and players.....wow!

Romo would be 1st on the list of not wanting it. Throughout much of his career he was criticized as being a poor leader. Numerous stories of him not being liked by other players especially his backups and him being impatient with young players. He once called one of his wrs stupid in the huddle. He has his perfect after football job.

I don't have a problem with that, he's probably old school and isn't in any hurry to help a young pup take his job. The HOF is loaded with hundreds of players who had the same mind set like Romo.

Tony Romo is making $17 million a year talking about football, golfing, and playing with his kids. He's got it made.

I agree, but never say never.............

What makes you think Romo wants to coach? You seriously think that the Cowboys coaching job is the most coveted job in all the world that everyone would just drop everything for? LOL...

Yeah, I think it is................ But that's just me.

Please stop! MM will be fine given a chance to actually build the team for more then half a season to yr before fans want him fired..i see signs this staff with more of their players and time to get them up to date on schemes will pay off..

calm down on dream fanstasy scenarios that will never happen.. MM will be here 3 years minimum get used to it!

you all will save a lot of wasted time discussing coaching changes. Its not happening.

I think you're wrong. Everyone felt that Jason Garrett didn't "GO FOR IT" enough when he was here and I watched MM last night falling in the same hole Garrett fell into. This team has very little self confidence and most likely will miss the finish in the bottom of the division so why not say "WHAT the Hell" and go for it last night. MM found out last night that field goals are nice for points, but touchdowns win games. He left a lot of SELF CONFIDENCE on the field last night, when he had a chance to gain a little respect from the team.

that he did. as good an announcer as he was right out of the gun, he's evolving into an even better one. instead of predicting individual plays, he's giving good insight into what it will take one team to beat the other. but at 17 million a year, don't see any way we can hire him.

We can dream..............

i think you are wrong..so..here we are.. they all will be back again get used to it and o feel Mm will get this right, hes kind of handcuffed with the injurys bug, last night add Biadasz and Diggs to the list that keeps on growing..mash units well you coach them differently against one of the best defenses in the league who came in 14point faves and 7-0.. sometimes you take what they give yo instead of throw it away like nooch did we had it..

him not going for FGs against the rams howd that work out missed out on a tie for sure that would have led to different play calling afterwards..

Think about what things Tony tells you as a commentator. Without a doubt he needs to be a defensive coordinator....

And very few of any, especially those with any type of public speaking ability went on to take coaching jobs. Romo has the after football players dream job and he’s really really good at it. Going back to coaching at this point for him would be the equivalent of a CEO stepping down to be the company plumber!

MikeB80 · Nov 9, 2020

LOL

besides the obvious reasons...like Romo works one or two days a week and is making a fortune.....

why would he ever want to work for an organization that turned their back on him? A large number of the players did and the whole front office and the head coach turned their back on him. He took all the bullets in the media and sacrificed his body for the organization and his teammates and the staff gave him the finger and told him to *** off.

I imagine the last thing in the world he would ever want to do is be associated in any way with the Dallas Cowboys.

he's got an awesome job making $$$.

His wife would kill him.

But I know what you mean. Romo is for real.

Red Dragon · Nov 9, 2020

As long as Romo is a broadcaster, there's almost nothing to blame him for.

The moment Romo becomes a coach and has W's and L's on his coaching record, the hate-frenzy will be unleashed again.

INCowboysFan · Nov 9, 2020

Anybody that thinks that Romo is going to coach at some point is delusional. Nobody, not even Jerry, will pay him what he's making in his TV gig to be a coach.

Anybody that thinks that Romo only works a few hours on Sundays is also delusional. It is obvious that he takes the time to watch plenty of film and prepare himself for the broadcasts. I would guess that between all the film study, production meetings, etc. he easily works 40+ hours per week. Big difference is that he can do all that stuff from his house.
