Romanowski looking to be a coach

High points...

Romanowski said he's been contacted by Broncos owner Pat Bowlen to come in for a meet-and-greet early next week with the 32-year-old coach who replaced Mike Shanahan.

He said no position has been promised. It's just a simple sit-down.

A team spokesman told The Associated Press on Thursday night the Broncos had no knowledge of a meeting scheduled with Romanowski.

Romanowski wants to be a coach someday. He even tried to persuade Bowlen to let him interview for the head coaching job after Shanahan was fired, creating an elaborate 30-page PowerPoint presentation. But he's never coached in the NFL and wasn't considered.

If a coaching spot isn't available on McDaniels' staff, Romanowski wouldn't mind being the Broncos' "performance" coordinator, overlooking the team's fitness and health. He's currently the president and CEO of a nutrition company called Nutrition53.com.

"There's another level on where to take a team when it comes to the way it trains," said Romanowski, who suited up for San Francisco, Philadelphia, Denver and Oakland during a standout 16-year career in the NFL that was marked by a bad temper and his admitted use of THG, the designer steroid at the center of the BALCO scandal.

Romanowski also has a tight relationship with Al Davis, frequently chatting with the Oakland owner about nutrition and all things Raiders.

Should Davis show an interest in his services, Romanowski would zip off another PowerPoint presentation, one that's specifically designed for the Raiders.

"He's still sharp as a tack," Romanowski said. "You've got to be on your game. He's testing you when he's talking to you."

Take a moment to envision Romanowski as head coach of the Raiders.

Go a step further and imagine he acquires a post-Cowboys Terrell Owens.

(that'd be a circus that would make Ringling Brothers jealous) :D

To my shame, I have to admit I'd watch. The potential for comedy would be staggering :D

As to this story, Romo actually thought he could merit the Broncos head coaching job...wow :rolleyes:

Bowlen's smarter than that, but Davis? Given the way his brain works and the fact that qualified candidates have been known to avoid the Raiders job like the plague, I wouldn't rule it out in a year or two.

("the coaching search" is becoming an alomost annual event in Oakland)

shame shame shame, I'd have to say though I'd probably watch a little as well. It would be entertaining in the least.

The Roids have definately soaked his brain. Just heard an interview on Cowherd or Dan Patrick I think it was. Basically he doesn't think HGH is illegal because there is no good test for it.

I think he's also pimping a book and a sports drink right now which is what this is really probably all about.

He's in the business of sports nutrition now. Maybe he could get Marion Jones, Barry Bonds, Jose Canseco and Roger Clemens to endorse his stuff :)

But I do think he really believes he could be a head coach. And you have to admit it'd be highly entertaining if he was in charge of the Raiders.

      Ppl want to trade Melo? Am I wrong for thinking that would be a bad idea?

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
