His lack of prep was reported in Sports Illustrated a couple years ago. Not hating his guts, just his lack of preparation.
SI has been garbage for twenty years so that means nothing

I REMEMBER BP saying that Tony had to be chased out of the film room because he spent so much time there.
and by the way that so called report was disputed not only by CBS but others.
Nice try hater

anyone that claims Dak gets more hate than romo needs to remember posts like this
ABSOLUTELY!

As I said earlier...you can't just walk on to an NFL team (from a small college to boot), and become one of the best among really good HOF QBs (Mannings, Brady, Rodgers, Brees etc) with the traits these pure haters are pinning on him.

At first it sounds astoundingly, idiotically stupid. But then...as you said...it's just a reminder of the hate Tony has always gotten. There's even professional articles written to tell them how stupid they are about it. Hate and jealousy are very dangerous things.

Notice the people that defend Dak with "hate him and it's not about football"...are giving likes to THESE haters?

We live in strange times.

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.
I don't think Romo should be or even wants to be a HC right now.

But good lord man, you have to be kidding with this other crap.

I know right? These people are nuts. I'm hoping it's just Cowboyszone that makes them crazy and not real life.

Whether he would make a hc or not is quite debatable, but not for those kinds of reasons.

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
We agree that he shouldn't be the hire....

but you got only one of your 5 insults correct.

I won't argue it as with that crazy of a take there is no way we could come to an agreement.
Agree to disagree on the other 4.

But per the thread...we DO agree he shouldn't be the coach

Romo isn't leaving that contract he's under in a pretty cushy job. And Romo doesn't seem like HC material to me. OC? Sure.

I disagree with all but the last one.

Well, I agree he didn't achieve goals as a player, but since when has that ever been a requirement in a good coach? What did Belichick acheive as a player?

But he didn't have the career he did coming out of a D-II school by having no discipline, work ethic etc.

The lack of coaching experience is a real issue though.

But in the end, an even bigger issue is he almost certainly would have no desire at all to do it

because the people that defend Dak while hating on Romo need exposed.
There's not much difference between Dak stans and you Romo stans. Both are backing mid QBs who couldn't get it done in the playoffs even with 13-3 one seeds. Both try to rewrite the history of both failed QBs with excuses that sound very similar to one another.

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.
You sold me.

He should definitely be the hire (if he's willing)!

Does he have the work ethic to be an NFL head coach? Based on his stint as a QB I never got the impression football was his passion, he always had outside interest (i,e Golf). He is in a great position now why would he put unneeded stress on his ideal life.

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
's One reason NOT to call Tony Romo..........he's not a leader of men. Even with his teammates, he had limited communication and interaction. In fact, Witten and his backup, Jon Kitna had excellent relationships with players on both sides of the ball. But I do agree his football IQ is off the chart.
BTW......his broadcasting career took a few hits this season. Some are saying he more annoying and others don't sense the passion.

If tony wanted to coach he should be a OC first. He has a high football IQ but HC is so much more than just X & O’s. Players who’ve went into coaching have worked their way up, not started at the top
I agree......he would be an excellent OC IMO.

An extremely lazy take on two very different quarterbacks. You are of course welcome to it, it suits you so.

I'm not here to defend Romo, just the truth.

Romo WALKED on and became one of the best QB's of his time among very good QBs. THAT...is a fact shown again and again.

Dak's legacy remains unfinished.
