There’s Heavy Speculation That Tony Romo Could Join The Dallas Cowboys Coaching Staff (TWEETS)

On Friday, despite stating publicly that he wanted his offensive coordinator back with the team in 2019, the Dallas Cowboys ultimately decided to part ways with Scott Linehan and move into another direction with their offense in the future.

The Cowboys now have an open spot on their coaching staff and need someone to fill it. How about Tony Romo?

The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback has a nice cushy gig with CBS as everybody seems to love him when he’s calling games and providing insights and predicting plays before they happen.

According to Bob Sturm of The Athletic, there seem to be a lot of people around the DFW area that believe the retired QB just might leave CBS for that offensive coordinator job.

We live in a sports city where some people seem to think Tony Romo would be interested in quitting the #1 analyst job at CBS (estimated: $5m-$10m annually) to be a coordinator under Jason Garrett. You should not allow yourself to be one of these people.

For what it’s worth, Dallas Cowboys fans are surely on board with the idea:

The likelihood of Romo coming on to the Cowboys offensive coordinator position with no previous experience is highly doubtful, but it is nice to dream of what could possibly happen.
