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

[SultanOfSix]

That was really the only comment I needed because he lacked leadership and wasn’t a good decision maker. That was a big reason we didn’t win anything with him. To be a good head coach you have to be a leader of men and he wasn’t. He could never elevate the team in big games. He went to Cabo a week before a playoff game.

None of the crap you said applies to Bill Belichick. That guy is the complete opposite of “leader of men” inspirational.

Romo may not be a good coach but it’s not for any of the anti-Romo crap you spew.

The NFL players that have been successful NFL head coaches weren’t QBs. Frank Reich, Gary Kubiak and Jason Garrett weren’t good NFL head coaches. As a QB Romo wasn’t a good decision maker, which got him in a lot of trouble. Even some of his comments as a broadcaster tell you he wouldn’t make a good NFL head coach. He’ll suggest play calls in certain situations that don’t make a lot of sense.

Hmmm .... apparently you aren't aware that Gary Kubiak won a Super Bowl as an NFL head coach. As did Doug Peterson

Then there were QB's in college that were never good enough to make the pros at all, but still managed to win a SB in the NFL as a head coach. Sean Payton, Jim Harbaugh, Jon Gruden etc ...

But again, being either a QB, or one that was successful as an NFL player is and has never been a requirement to be a successful NFL coach.

That's not what your post said.

One of the biggest knocks on Romo was his lack of leadership. He was never able to raise our level of play in big games. To be a good head coach you have to be a leader of men.

Darn, if we had only had Dan Campbell playing on our team to raise it up. We could have been great.

You realize that most of these rumors like this post is all fan born this is nothing Jerry's thinking about maybe Jason Witten might be a little bit on his radar but even him Jerry knows they have not done their due diligence and I'm betting he's leaning towards another Mike McCarthy type like Pete Carroll let Pete Carroll get a guy like Robert Soleil as his defensive coordinator get a really good offensive coordinator and let this thing go or he's gonna bring back Kellen Moore who may or may not be ready but at least he has experience he's done his due diligence kliff Kingsbury those types are more in play but the reality Deion Sanders definitely was on Jerry's mind it was a real interest but Sanders is not ready for the NFL he knows it he doesn't wanna come coach a bunch of spoiled rich millionaires versus what he's doing where he's at where he is a hero...

Is this Tony Romo thing any of these other weird suggestions are all from fans not Jerry Jerry is not gonna do that yes if Deion Sanders was interested it would be really in play and I don't think it would be a disaster I don't know how it would play out if he gets the right coaching staff the right support system it can work....

But again, I don't think that's where he's going I think it's gonna be old school veteran or one of these other guys that he's comfortable with that are that can do something with the vet offense, i don't know

all this nonsense that social media start spreading around as content creators and fans these are not real suggestions these are just people throwing names up against the wall hoping they get it right you know ratings clicks that's a big thing now...

Most currently successful candidates are not in play because they will want to bring a specific system of operation with them, the one that helped them to succeed. Jerry has never adhered to specific rules of operation. In addition, Jerry will not allow a HC to make personnel decisions as to the assistant coaches and players.

Jerry will not share GM duties and even strips his HCs of many elements of traditional authority like media communication and roster decisions.

I went onto elaborate in other posts for why we didn’t win anything with him. I’ll ask you again, would you want him as the Cowboys next head coach?

Dan Campbell wasn’t a QB. QBs are supposed to raise the level of their teams play, not a TE.

Then you should have tied that post to others instead of posting it as a stand alone comment. You can't post a comment then say it's the responsibility of the reader to track down everything else you post and assume they have to be taken together.

Belichick had Brady. What I said about Romo is a fact!

 

[MajesticRey]

Romo makes about 20 million a year as a broadcaster.

Conversation over.

You’re kidding, right? Dude’s paid more than lots of top NFL players.

 

[KMY_Amber]

Romo hasn't coached a down of football anywhere.

It's time to get serious, and bring a serious Football man in here to guide this team. There are too many proven coaches out there to bring in a tv guy and his old TE as OC.

Yea, I agree, Low... No, just no. Bring him as a consultant, nothing more than that right now...not even as a coordinator. And no on Witt as an OC. I'd rather find a good, college OC than Witten.

 

[fivetwos]

Eh yep I’m wrong. It’s only 18 per.

What I can’t figure out is why they are paid so much. People are going to watch the games no matter what. No one ever tunes in to hear what the broadcasters say.

Regardless, Jerry won’t be paying a coach half that.

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

Jerry ain't NEVER, EVER giving up any piece of this team.

Why don't you go fantasize some more of that Tony Romo Poster you have hanging from your ceiling over your bed?

Now do a MOM joke...come on son...you're KILLING it!

 

[shabazz]

Loved Romo the player but theirs zero evidence it would translate to coaching.

I'd go with Quincy Carter first. Culture

Now do a MOM joke...come on son...you're KILLING it!

Just don't nobody say somebody's momma be lookin like Otis Sistrunk.....with the goatee and all that.

I made a comment - a fair one. I have no complaint, just set the record straight. After that I've just responded to your efforts to pretend you didn't post how you posted.

You’re looking just to waste time and argue. Once again, would you want Romo as the Cowboys next HC? If you don’t want to answer it move on.

 

[dragon_mikal]

please, teams do that all the time, this is right up there with someone on X claiming Jones getting old and dying will be karma for firing Landry

Teams do it when the guy being benched is clearly inferior to the guy replacing him. Tony was clearly the better QB and if he had been given the job back there’s a chance they do more in the playoffs then they did.

He also wanted a chance to compete during the offseason but the geniuses in charge wouldn’t allow it because they knew what the outcome would be and they cared more about possible jersey sales than winning games. They’d already hitched their wagon to Dak regardless of which QB was better.
