I think Tony will enjoy his family and living large in Dallas with the money he had made. He won't ever have to work again and I doubt that he'd enjoy the rough hours of coaching at the NFL level at least.

I thought for sure that Romo stated he would look into coaching after he retired. Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but I'm pretty sure he did.

Nothing alike at all.White inherited a very talented, but old team. Romo had nothing like what White had when he started. This isn't a blast on White, I admire what he did here. Romo is steps above him.

Lets just agree to disagree !

I'd assume Peyton and Tom Brady will be winding it down around the same time as Tony does, not sure what their plans are, def see Manning on a pregame show, Brady seems too dorky

Manning on TV? Only on a show for insomniacs. Comes across as the most boring person on earth every time he's interviewed. Zero personality.

Stay home and enjoy his family. Maybe 4-5 years after retiring he will consider coaching and media opportunities.

Every NFL qb is like that. Aikman was the same way

You do know Brady is about 38 and Payton is 39 Tony will only be 36 next season but could be gone before both of them they all one hit away !

He may have thought like that at one time but he has made too much money, his wife is too hot, and he now has kids. He will look to enjoy life. Jetting all over the globe hobnobbing with the rich and famous, playing in celebrity sporting events, and doing TV gigs that pay tons of money for little work. I have no doubt he will be around the team a lot as long as his time in Dallas ends amicably and may even act as a mentor/part time coach to a young Dallas QB but it will be on a show up whenever he feels like it basis, not a punching the time clock situation. I could also see him volunteering some time coaching his old high school a few days a week. One thing I know is that with his competitive nature, he will find some way to compete but it won't be as a full time NFL coach.

The dude has millions in the bank and a beautiful wife and family. He doesn't have to do anything but chill.

If he wants a stress free work environment, he'd probably choose broadcasting. Unless he misses the game and its competitive juices so much, I don't think he'd want to face the stress of coaching.

Terrible idea to have him coach here. Cut the emotional strings from these players. The Dallas Cowboys aren't supposed to be an R&D team. Let him develop as a coach somewhere else. I doubt he even attempts to anyway.

I love Tony, but we all know his career is near the end. What do you think he does after? He looks like he has potential in coaching. I wouldn't mind seeing him get a start on that here. He also looks like he could do well on NFL talk shows, like Irvin. Heck, even Shannon Sharpe managed it. Maybe he becomes a pizza spokesman somewhere or doing other commercials? Or does he have another plan like Staubach with real estate? Or maybe he just takes all his money he made and put it in a tub to take a money bath everyday? That would make for interesting sleepovers. Or does he do bad like McNabb and just follow a sorry path? Or does he just retire to a life sitting at home and baking crownies? What do you think happens? He's a Cowboy for life and belongs in the ring when he is done.

I remember hearing that, too.

Here's what I found.

The article is from July, 2013.

Does Tony Romo have designs on a future career in coaching?

We've never heard the Dallas Cowboys quarterback publicly express a desire to remain on the sidelines after his playing days end, but that passion exists, according to an interesting tidbit passed along by Peter King.

"Most players don't like the obsessive grind of coaching, but I hear Dallas QB Tony Romo's different," King wrote on TheMMQB.com.

"He'd like to be a coordinator one day," said a person close to Romo.

Things may have changed by now, Tony Romo may not wish to spend long hours at the Star in the future as an assistant coach instead of at home with his family.

But maybe not.

Romo is a competitor and the idea of becoming a coach appeals to him.

It wouldn't be about the money.

Multiple NFL teams are waiting for Peyton Manning to officially retire and ask him to join their front office.

Manning may want to continue playing, a TV deal is also a possibility, but transitioning to a front office role may have the most appeal.

With the Browns and Titans already preparing for major changes this offseason, both organizations have strong interest in adding Peyton Manning to the fold should he opt to retire this offseason, sources said.

Manning has a strong relationship with Browns owner Jimmy Haslam from their ties to the state of Tennessee, and Haslam's interest in having Manning in a management/ownership role are long known (dating back several years to his interest in the Titans at the time).

The Titans have already essentially wiped their entire organizational slate clean for 2016 from team president on down in what's likely a precursor to a pursuit of Manning, who has told friends for years how much he might enjoy living in Tennessee after his playing days are over.

I thought I heard that also. But, he's got a few years left, God willing.
