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

[Jarntt]

Why do people assume that good players make good coaches. Romo loves him some Romo and loves being the center of attention and the one everyone talks about. You could see it in his playing days and now with his trying to ride the predictions aspect of his announcing. That's the complete opposite of what I want in a HC. Nuts and bolts needed. Tough over soft. Discipline needed. Sit in your section attitude needed towards Jerry. Build from the trenches needed.

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

he can't become a head coach. no player goes to HC position in NFL, there is more to it than just smarts. game management, the chess game on both sides of the ball. running the team and practices, etc.
it takes several years for them to earn their stripes. going from booth to head coach is a HUGE leap. he will not be successful. he should start as a QB coach, work into an OC before anything.

Interesting idea. Tony has the perfect job now. And makes a ton more money than Jerry would offer. Hard to see him leaving that for the grind of a HC. The time commitment alone would probably be a deal breaker. He has a young family and would he sacrifice so much time away from them? Unlikely.

The kids would be the big barrier. I believe he mentioned around the time when he retired he wanted to spend more time with the family. He's got the perfect job for that now. Head coach takes basically all your time for at least several months out of the year. Added to that, he has no coaching experience whatsoever. I love Romo but I'd like someone who has coached at least positionally.

Romo couldn’t even lead his team from a rookie how is he gonna lead these numbskulls?

I disagree the guy hasn't done his job yet never been a coach in the NFL never been a coach even in high school or college he needs to come in and earn his way into a head coaching position I'm not sure what position you think he should get but at best he should be the offensive coordinator but really he should probably start with being a quarterback coach slash assistant offensive coordinator because he has shown nothing to me that he's ready to be an NFL head coach I think he has a cushy job he likes what he's doing getting paid very well for it there's no reason for him to be a coach...

I mean you bring up Jason Witten at least Deion Sanders and Jason Witten have some experience coaching now be realistic Tony Romo has done nothing to earn a head coach spot in the NFL there's no proof he'd be successful it'd be a really dumb move some of these other names make sense they've done some things in the coaching world in my opinion romo's not gonna want it anyway so this is another failed attempt at throwing things against the wall hoping they stick in that way you could be right when someone gets hired..

I’m sorry, what position are we talking about for Romo here? Surely not HC?

 

[John813]

The same Romo that is sort of checked out as an announcer and makes 17mil a year guessing plays once a week?

romo should be checked for CTE if he considered leaving CBS.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Romo lacks what it takes to be a head coach in the NFL, no matter what he knows about football. He lacks the killer instinct it takes to win and convince others to run through walls to win.

So the kid walked on to camp and became one of the best QB of his day (among several Hall Of Fame QBs)....doesn't have a killer instinct?

Hmmm...interesting take.

I don't think he has the demeanor to be a head coach...nor the inclination. But not sure it's a lack of instinct.

Why I think hiring Tony Romo as our HC would be a complete disaster:

• Having zero coaching experience at any level is a huge problem. Coaching is not a video game.
• Knowing football does not make someone a great coach; much less a great HC. In fact, often good players in pro sports don’t make good coaches.
• Romo’s knowledge of football is no better than a hundred other former NFL players. We just hear him more because he’s on national TV broadcast.
• Romo is famously lazy. Never known as a guy who kept himself in great shape as a player, he’s also been in trouble with CBS over his poor preparation for broadcasts by not knowing players names and not being familiar with the details of broadcast prep. Being a HC is all about detail and preparation.
• Remember the Jeff Saturday experiment in Indy a couple years ago? Saturday is a HOF center who is an outstanding analyst and broadcaster. He was a disaster as a HC.

In my opinion, Tony Romo would be a total disaster.

Why are Cowboys fans so stupid?
Romo would be the absolutely worst possible hire

No discipline
No accountability
Lazy with poor work ethic
Achieved nothing in his career
No experience coaching

Interesting...the people that gave you "likes". Very telling.

I happen to think it's a bunch of BS.

CBS pays Romo about $18M a season calling games with a lot less stress than an NFL coach. Why would he take a big pay cut so he can have Jerry tell him how to coach a team?

It's already off season for us. We need the entertainment.

I guess we should concentrate on scooping some mainstream media story?

 

[SultanOfSix]

Romo would only do this to satisfy a possible coaching itch to coach a team to a SB win. Otherwise, his current job is comparatively easy, a lot more stress free, a lot less time consuming, and earns a lot more money.
