I think Romo would make a good coordinator someday. BUT...NO ONE...not even Tony Romo, who has lots of expertise, goes from a broadcast booth and no coaching experience to becoming an NFL coordinator. No one.
There’s a reason all coordinators first were position coaches and learned the ropes before stepping into that role. It is a much tougher job than most people realize. It takes incredible organization skills, it takes many hours of film study and prep, not to mention being able to relate to a staff of coaches who all have worked their way up the NFL coaching tree. Romo would be resented by many coaches who are trying to work their way up then see him step in as a coordinator. Not gonna be respected by coaches.
If Romo is serious about coaching, (and we don’t know that he is) he needs to start as a position coach and learn the ropes first.
That's one way to do it. Or you hire a guy like McVay who has little experience and was an instant hit. Romo has "it".
