Romo has a great gig with CBS. Talk football half the year, play golf the other half, more than enough money in the bank.

He'd be a fool to give that up.

Exactly. Why would he give up the gig he has now?

This team will fire Marinelli, but won't (they will call it retirement) and make Everflus the DC. That's all folks......:(

Gruden head coach, Romo OC and train under gruden, and grab a young defensive coordinator from college levels

Gruden would need a large cap space - he's terrible when it comes to the draft. He even tells stories in the booth of how many players he regrets passing on and how it came back to bite him.

Since Romo is a broadcaster now, he gets to prep for the game by watching other teams and getting to know how they operate each week. I think he'll see just how much better all these other teams are doing it compared to Jerry's team and it will convince him not to come back to work in this mess that he spent his career in.

This is from 2012

About a month ago, we listed seven game management gaffes (http://bloggingthebeast.com/2012/11...gaffes-are-adding-up/?trashed=1&ids=102151)at the end of the half by Princeton alum Jason Garrett, who at the time, was 31 games into his NFL coaching career. Let’s throw another one on the pile.

At the end of the first half last night, Tony Romo hit a wide open Jason Witten down the seam for a 28 yard gain to the 1 yard line. He was tackled with about 54 seconds left on the clock. Dallas had all 3 of their time outs remaining. It appeared that the Cowboys didn’t want to rush down the field and get the next play off in haste. That’s fine. Take a timeout, and call a play you like.

However, the timing of the called time out, from a strategic perspective, is pretty simple. You let the clock run down to about 20 seconds, or if you want to leave yourself a little extra time in case of a pass interference call in the end zone (and thus a new set of downs), maybe you leave 25 or 30 seconds. With two time outs still in your back pocket, your entire goal line playbook is open, and time expiring is not a concern.

What did Garrett do? He called time out with 45 seconds left on the clock. Next play… Touchdown.

That left the Eagles 41 seconds before the end of the half. Five plays later, the Eagles had driven down inside the Dallas 30 yard line, and Alex Henery drilled a FG to close the half.

Andy Reid has long been criticized for his time management skills, which is warranted. Jason Garrett is worse.
