That’s a different discussion.

I’ve seen plenty of Romo games. Being able to talk Xs and Os from a booth is completely different from coaching a game.

I take it you mean from his perch in the booth he can see things LATE when it is too late for a coach to do anything about it. If that is your point I agree

He still is spot on about things a coach can act on in real time, like personnel packages, and reading formations and alignment.

There can be no doubt Romo knows football. He understands positioning and strategy, Tomlin not so much.

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

You don't think Romo has an incredible handle on the Xs and Os?

Of course he was a qb a long time
But as a leader and head coach?
That’s beyond silly

Why do you think Big Ben would listen to anything Romo has to tell him?

You can say 12 years (doing what and where?), I say his resume was extremely thin. He was a coordinator for how many years.

The fact that you think Romo has more coaching acumen than Tomlin based on what he says as an announcer is absolutely laughable.

Coaching acumen or knowledge of the game? I have no Idea how Romo would manage personalities or motivate players. It is clear to me after listening to Romo and listening to Tomlin and watching Tomlins game day performance, that Romo knows a lot more about the Xs and Os and strategy.

There is a website called the spun.com. I never heard of it, can't vouch for it. It raises the possibility of Romo being offered a head coaching position with accompanying quotes on the matter from various people.

I googled this, after hearing Cook mention it on the Fan.

I became aware of this and Cooks mention after my initial post, which was made yesterday around 10:30 PM

Again. I think it is absolutely moronic to claim Romo has better knowledge of Xs and Os than Tomlin based on what he says as an announcer.

He very well may know more. But to claim that based on his announcing reflects poorly on you.

If you have been watching Steeler football during the Tomlin regime and you still believe he is better than merely average at defending and taking advantage of match ups, I think that opinion is moronic.

Are we done with the name calling now?

X's and O's for sure in addition to a grasp on reality.

Before the Cinny game, a game the Steelers had to win, Tomlin in his interview said " we can control our destiny"?? Mike, Mike, Mike you can't if Baltimore wins you're out.

In that same interview Mike, Mike, Mike said he told the team " it's time to lean in"?? Isn't Mike, Mike, Mike getting his sports confused that's what baseball HC's tell their teams.
There must be a football analogy similar to "leaning in."

Mike, Mike, Mike's problems are attention to detail ( he should study Belichick ), discipline ( he's not a leader and has no locker room leaders), & game planning ( no plan B or C - (study the Belichick game planning book).

The name calling is standard operating procedure for him and his crowd?
When they have no legs to stand on they begin with the name calling.
It makes the insecure feel secure almost like they're relevant???

You are basing your opinion of Romo off what he says in a profoundly controlled environment. If you choose to draw conclusions about what he would be like as a coach during an actual game, then so be it. There is no point in continuing this conversation because I find your starting premise absolutely moronic.

 

[Jakey_John]

Tomlin hasn’t been coaching for three weeks because he lost to teams like Denver, Oakland and Baltimore with Joe Flacco begins center. I’m not saying Romo has better knowledge of X’s and O’s than Tomlin does but there weren’t many guys in this year’s playoffs that he would beat.

I’m not saying he’s terrible but if the window is not shut it’s being propped up by a wobbly stick.

LOL ... ah ha ha ha ha ha.... snort Bah ha ha ha....!!!

Seriously stop

No really just stop please

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Good god, I read here last night the thought that the Stillers should hire Tony Romo to be their head coach and I just assumed it was either someone joking around or drunk. I come back tonight and find out that it was a serious suggestion that someone actually thinks makes sense.

To quote someone from the Stillers' past, yoi and double yoi!

Joe the problem is you went to sleep.
You know you can't trust anyone on this board!
If this happens again, like you go to sleep, you never know who people might want for the Steelers HC.

Hi Joe!

[McKee Place]

Romo did absolutely squat at QB for a team that spent outrageously to try to be winners. The joke always was, imagine how bad he'd be if he were on the Browns or Lions.

To each his own for those who think he's a great announcer. He blabs like a loon. He's better than some of the boobs that Pitt football game tv broadcasts draw as color guys, like the certifiable ... dolt... who did the Pitt Miami game ... but that's about as faint praise offerable.

But even if he were the best announcer in history, it gives him zero qualification to be a coach. Posters on this board have as much qualification.

 

[Jakey_John]

You know “retard” is just as offensive as the n-word in some circles.

 

[BFo8]

How about Romo for GM instead?

Can follow in John Lynch’s and Mike Mayock’s footsteps by going straight from the booth to executive with zero experience.

I just find it... amusing that people are so quick to jump on the Romo bandwagon and actually think he's a better Xs and Os guy than an actual coach.

Romo's pretty talented at being able to take the stuff he sees (and what I imagine any decent starting QB sees) and vocalize it in a way that is accessible for the audience. That's a specific skillset. One that is not even in the same ballpark as actually coaching.

 

[BuffetParrothead]

I don't think Ski gets it.

I believe most people are jerking him around which is easy, others are saying things are so bad in StillerLand ( owner, player, coaches) even Romo might pass for an NFL coach or we're tired of the present occupant of the coaching box and ready for a change.

Maybe I don't. All I know is that gary claimed Romo might be a better coach than Tomlin. My issue with that has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not I think Tomlin is a good, great, mediocre, or bad coach.

I think drawing conclusions based on what a guy says as an announcer is extremely problematic.

Another thing, there is a difference between a "coach" and a "coordinator" or play caller. That is why so many times we have seen coordinators and QB coaches become the most visible examples of the Peter Principle and get promoted into head coaches which dooms them for failure. There is much more to being a Head Coach than having your head buried in film study all week and recognizing formations and plays off of it. A lot more Administrative and Personnel decisions.

 

[Parkview57]

Does Romo make the NFL HoF as a Coach/Color-man ?

Once, not if, he's a head coach, that's how he'll get in. Due to going undefeated, of course.

“Romo’s ability to identify and articulate this real-time shrinking of the playbook is an asset to the broadcast, but only if he qualifies it, which he did not.

Here’s the thing: The Chiefs also saw what Tony saw. You think that professional football men don’t know that Gronk will get the ball in one-on-one match-ups? Or that the back and tight end will chip the edge rushers in a five-man front? Or that Edelman is going across the middle? That Brady will check to a weak side run when they overload the strong side?

Again, it is Tony’s job to point out this Football 101 type of stuff, but the glee with which he sells it as a novelty gave me flashbacks to those arguments with Conceptual coaches. Yes, I get it, we want to put ourselves in the best positions we can. Of course. But what always happens in the end is that none of it matters if you aren’t good enough to stop it. And when you are playing against Tom Brady in overtime of the AFC Championship game, no matter who you are, you aren’t good enough to stop it. Not even when you know where the ball is going.”
