Briefly why Joneses should have Romo at top of their list, and why Tony should listen

[_sturt_]

Tony owes Jerry nothing.

I've mainly ignored protests to the OP, but in this case, by quoting me, there's some implication that I said Tony owes Jerry.

That's not the case, of course.

Tony will make 3 times more staying where is at and work 80% less.

You're to be legit forgiven that you wouldn't have necessarily seen that this was already thoroughly addressed.

Look especially for this part:

.................2. Tony makes a lot of money as-is. There is a legit theory that says Tony's not like a lot of us... it's not all about how much he's being paid. He sees life in a bigger picture than just economic.................

Why Call
- Few with a higher football IQ than Tony Romo--he is a coach at-heart and always has been, and even more so than Kellen Moore, oh by the way
- Highly relatable, which is why he's an analyst in the first place, which is going to translate to the job
- Parcells disciple, but really exposed to so much more given his analyst job for the past 8 years
- No one could possibly... not even Prime... come into the job with a greater flourish and public enthusiasm
- Probably the one guy who would be able to attract Jason Witten to come along side him as an OC
- No one could be more passionate about putting a Super Bowl ring on his finger (after having lost out as a player) than Tony Romo... maybe as passionate, no one more so.

Why Listen
- No one could be more passionate about putting a Super Bowl ring on his finger (after having lost out as a player) than Tony Romo... maybe as passionate, no one more so.
- He's made a lot of money. He doesn't need to be hung up on the money thing. He can afford it.
- Did I mention he's a coach at-heart? This is a very unique moment in his life, and a very unique opportunity to fulfill something really so much more special than being a TV analyst could ever be.
- Jerry should offer Tony a piece of equity in the Dallas Cowboys as a bonus to winning a Super Bowl... that would seal any deal, imo

I'd rather go with Tony.. Dungy.

Tony has DAL last on his list

No on Romo, no experience in coaching, and I don't know if he could lead an offense, let alone an entire team.

No, just no...not right now, coming in from the booth.

So the only way he would do it, is if he owe Jerry something. Case closed.

I would 100% take Romo as an offensive coordinator, I think he would be very successful in that role. As a head coach though, I don't know? He just strikes me as a pretty laid back dude that would be good friends with the players. I don't know how he would be delivering tough messages or what the team discipline would look like.

Can see where you're coming from.

I'm just recalling TR's competitive fire during games, though... never say die... keep pushing...always trying to keep balance of the cerebral with the emotional...

And while he was never Troy Aikman hammering on his O-line during games to play better (as far as I remember, anyways)... I have two (related) thoughts on that...

One, TR's words have always been indicative to me of someone who believes in people taking on their appropriate roles and not taking liberties...

And two... Troy Aikman didn't want to be Troy Aikman... but rather--consistent with that same appropriate roles mindset--Troy complained loudly that Switzer's culture was forcing him to take what he himself considered to be an inappropriate role (since the coaches wouldn't hold players accountable). It's not that Aikman thought it was his place to be that guy... it's that in the absence of coaches doing their job, he was left to believe he had to be if the team was ever to reach another Super Bowl.

To the contrary... if ever put in a head coach role, I think quite honestly we would find Tony Romo to be something like a second coming of Bill Parcells... joking with players, sure... and at the same time, being demanding of players, out of his own competitive fire.

Jerry failed Romo as a player, why would he sign up to be failed again as a coach???

Better yet Romo couldn't overcome Jerry as a player,why would anyone think he could overcome him as a coach.

Romo is making $20 million a year and probably works 10 hours a week. Living life on easy street.

He doesn't strike me as the type of guy that wants to grind 70-80 hours a week to be a coach.

 

[MikeT22]

Romo hasnt even coached a high school team yet. Witten has coached HS for 2 years and its a joke his name is being mentioned for anything

If Witten took the job, he might be able to convince Romo to help out, but that is a long shot. Although, he would have a better chance convincing him over Jerry.

Only way Tony jumps in as a Coach would be if he is trying to find a way of getting into the Hall Fame by his collective contributions and to the NFL. I don't think it would happen for another 10 years, after his kids get older.
