Romanowski says he wants to coach Denver

DENVER (AP) - Bill Romanowski has the perfect coaching candidate in mind for the Denver Broncos, a dark horse, somebody out of the blue who's on nobody's radar - himself.

The former Pro Bowl linebacker who spends his post-playing days running a nutrition company and dabbling in broadcasting and acting told The Associated Press on Thursday night that he's serious about wanting a chance at coaching his old team.

He said he sent Broncos owner Pat Bowlen a lengthy PowerPoint presentation touting his credentials and outlining the fresh ideas he would bring to the job that Mike Shanahan held for 14 seasons before his stunning dismissal last week.

"I can't stop thinking about this," said Romanowski, who played for San Francisco, Philadelphia, Denver and Oakland during a standout 16-year career in the NFL that was marred by a bad temper and his admitted use of THG, the designer steroid at the center of the BALCO scandal.

"This may be a complete fantasy and that's all right ... At the end of the day, nothing may happen from it."

Romanowski has no official NFL coaching experience, just a knowledge from the players' perspective.

"For Pat to do something like this, it would take him being a visionary, thinking outside the box," said Romanowski, whose coaching experience includes helping with his son's football team. "Him hiring me, it's a long shot. I understand that. I know that."

The Broncos met with Miami Dolphins secondary coach Todd Bowles on Thursday, the seventh candidate to interview for the job. All are current NFL assistant coaches. Team spokesman Patrick Smyth said there were no other candidates scheduled to interview for the vacancy, one of the most coveted in all of football.

The Broncos had no comment on Romanowski's interest in the coaching vacancy.

Romanowski is hopeful that Bowlen gives him even a courtesy call because he's certain he can win him over.

"I truly believe that I'd be the best person in the country for the job. That's me being confident in my abilities," Romanowski said.

In his more than 30-page presentation that he zipped off to Bowlen, Romanowski outlined how he'd run things if he were in charge. He would hire a new defensive staff and revamp the player personnel department, analyzing the college scouting system in a new way, he said.

"I'd take the top 60 colleges in the country that produce pro prospects and I would treat those 60 like they were their own league and start looking at freshmen when they come in," Romanowski said. "When 80 percent of your talent comes from 20 percent of the colleges, I think you ought to have a pretty strong focus on those colleges."

Romanowski would also hire a full-time nutritionist and recruit some of the world's elite strength and conditioning coaches, he said.

"I'd have literally a full-time person mixing up protein shakes every day," said Romanowski, who is president and CEO of a nutritional company called Nutrition53. "The business is football, which is having fast, strong, explosive players."

He'd also have on staff someone to keep an eye on the emotional well-being of the players, he said.

"In the NFL now, nobody touches (that)," Romanowski said. "They only try to fix it when it breaks, when someone ... has trouble with alcohol or drugs. How about a performance coach?"

Bowlen fired Shanahan after the Broncos blew a three-game lead with three weeks left in the season and finished 8-8, missing the playoffs for the third straight year, something that hadn't happened in Denver since 1980-82.

Romanowski thinks he can help get the team back on track.

"I laid out a whole game plan on how I'd do these things," he said. "I love what I do now. It's not like I have to have the head coaching job for the Denver Broncos. I happen to be pretty confident in my abilities and I know what I could do there."

Sounds like a good story but thats all it will be. He hasn't had any coaching history. If anything start as a position coach for the LBers and move his way up. DC would be a stretch.

Romo should understand that you cannot be inexperienced and step into an
executive position . . . well, I'm talking about football.

I'd surely love to see the Broncos' LBs take on his form of nasty, though . . .

This is where we disagree B2B. If Denver wants a bonafide defensive guru type of guy, it should be someone who has at least called the plays for a defense and can prove he can bring what Denver needs. Like Spags or even Rex Ryan.

I wants Spags or McDaniels. Just my opinion.

Also, McDaniels has as much experience with defense in the NFL as Morris, being the DB Coach in NE.

I'm not by any means advocating hiring Morris. I'm just wondering why people are automatically writing him off. If you can coach, you can coach. Besides, I trust that the people making this decision are much more informed on the matter than we are and if they do choose Morris, it may not be who I would have chosen but I'll still get behind him.

If it's going to be someone with no DC or OC experience, I would just as soon it be Romo.. Pat at least gave Morris an interview, why not Romo? You never know, he could be a great HC..

Where have I heard that before.. :confused:

Um no....:tsk:

But you have to admire his confidence. I wouldn't be opposed to Daddy-B bringing him in to talk about another opportunity with the Broncos. He could be able to light a fire under the players with his enthusiasm. And if he is a nutritionist himself (somewhat now), it wouldn't hurt with conditioning for our team which we would all agree needs a boost.

I like him as a LBs coach but let him work his way up to HC over the years. I agree the comparison of fans wanting an unproven Elway at GM (who hasn't coached as well) to an unproven Romo at HC.

Could you imagine.

We fire one of the greatest coaches in the game for Bill Romanowski. yea-

we would be the laughing stock of the NFL for a long time. Al Davis would even have a party for this one.

But i kinda like some of his ideas-not as a head coach though, not now, not never.

he can be our nutriton specialist. Thats as far as i would go.

Romanowski would be a good fit for the position of linebacker coach. Therefore, he could gain some coaching experiences and promote to defensive coordinator in some day. Who knows? He would be Broncos head coach in 2010 or later. I think that Pat Bowlen should hire him for LB coach and see how good Romanowski is.

Agreed. We would obviously have to wait until we hired the new head coach but if he was on board with bringing Romo in as a LB coach, I don't see why not. He was one of the best in the league when he played and he seems like a pretty smart guy so I think it would be a good fit.

He would definately bring some much needed intensity to the LB position as a coach. HC, no....LB coach yes.

you are silly. I bet you really don't know him very well. He is a nice guy in person and I met him before. He is truly intelligent on defense and he knows how to read the offense. He can teach some Broncos' linebackers how to read some offense plays and teach them how to tackle hard!

2. Hire Bill Romanowski for linebacker coach

3. Hire Steve Atwater for Defensive backs coach

4. Convince and hire Greg Robinson for the position of Defensive Coordinator

5. Sign Albert Haynesworth

6. Release Dre Bly, Nate Webster, and others

7. Draft center, linebackers, cornerbacks, DL, and a stud wide-receiver. (Tom Nalen is retiring and Casey Wiegmann is considering to retire. We need new center)

8. Build a new "Orange Crush team

9. Move Peyton Hillis back to fullback and place Torain for the position of runningback.

10. Create a battle for # 1 runningback to prove us that person is an outstanding.

11. Relase Patrick Ramsey and sign Vince Young.

It's amazing how people can totally dismiss someone based on one mistake they made in their past. You don't have the first clue how good a coach he could be but you write him off because of past steroid use.

That's the thing, we don't know if he knows his shit ... as a coach, let alone a head coach. He's not even interested in proving himself in the lower coaching positions either, positions that more accomplished coaches would love to have in order to break into NFL coaching. Singletary, as great a player as he was, didn't start out as an NFL head coach; he worked his way up, like everyone else.

But Romanowski wants none of that. For him to announce that he wants to be the head coach of Denver without wanting to prove himself at the lower coaching positions first tells me all I need to know about him as a head coach.

I suspect he was not totally serious.... Davis might do it but Pat is a great businessman and I doubt it got much play other than pass it on to the next GM or HC to ponder for a position coach.. Perhaps he can become the OLINE coach like dennison did being an ex LB and knowing nothing about playing any Position on the OLINE..

however, i think the guy just wants to be involved with the team. i cant blame him, it is the best team in the nfl as we all know. i think romo just loves the broncos and thinks he could bring something to the table. he was a hell of a player even considering the mistakes he made.

fact is, it most likely will not happen for HC or even a position coach, but it could. i for one would not be too unhappy if he were on the staff in some form.

I could be missing a lot of it, I guess. I don't scour threads for people to yell at or anything.

Some of the threads are so silly that everyone just goes in there and makes the thread larger by complaining about how silly the thread is.

This thread would be a good example, except that it's Romanowski's fault. He actually made the absurd suggestion, not some odd poster.

Think he can have a side job of teaching our linebackers how to be nasty? That'd sure make me happy. :D

maybe he can teach them how to tackle and not overrun the plays.

he would have plenty of pupils from last years LBs

Notes From Lombardi
FROM MICHAEL LOMBARDI:

FIVE THINGS I KNOW….

1. I know the Cowboys are having serious internal discussions about releasing Terrell Owens very soon. Serious discussions. The $3.1-million roster bonus due Owens in March is also adding to the discussions. It may affect the decision that Jason Garrett makes if he is offered a head coaching job.

2. I know the Broncos want to talk to linebackers coach Don Martindale, whose Raiders contract expired Tuesday, and are scheduled to interview him some time today. Martindale has a few options available to him.

3. I know that after talking to multiple teams today, Chargers running back Darren Sproles is going to be a hot item if he makes it to the free-agent market in March. Many teams would love to add his services, and the amount of cap room some of the teams have is staggering.

4. I know that whoever hires Rex Ryan is going to get a great head coach. The same goes for Jim Schwartz. Both men have paid their dues and have built great defenses.

5. I know that Bill Romanowski, formerly of the Broncos, is serious about getting back into football and will have a talk with Denver’s brass soon to explore his possible return.

FIVE THINGS I HEAR….

1. I hear Todd Bowles was impressive in his interview with the Lions. Not sure he has improved his position, but he was well liked. And it helps having been a teammate of Lions GM Martin Mayhew.

2. I hear that Leslie Frazier might be a surprise choice for the Rams. He was impressive in both of his interviews with Denver and St. Louis.

3. I hear that the Rams are down to only three candidates — Frazier, Garrett and Steve Spagnuolo of the Giants. Just those three have a chance to get the job.

4. I hear that after Scott Pioli makes a change at head coach and Herm “Lets Build Something Together” Edwards is let go, he will have a tough time convincing Kirk Frentz to leave Iowa. Frentz seems content to stay where he is right now.

5. I hear that Brian Westbrook’s re-injured left knee will not keep him from playing this weekend, but might it might curtail his effectiveness

Like somebody fulltime to just, you know, make protein shakes all day. Bowlen might even provide the blenders, and there is already ice in the training room. Probably some plastic cups laying around too.

"Hey Romo, could I get a soy, wheatgrass, Nute 53 smoothie with a scoop of whey? Thanks, and leave the spit out of this one, will ya?"

There is a legend amongst my people (the gimpy) that Romo spit can make you walk for one day! If he whizzes on you...:shocked: DEMIGOD!

DENVER (AP) - Bill Romanowski envisions a protein bar stocked with vitamins and supplements in the corner of the locker room, customized workouts to fit each player's deficiencies and on-staff nutritionists waiting to be of service.

That's what the former Pro Bowl linebacker would implement if he were in charge of a team's health and well-being. And it's one of the game plans he's going to present when he gets the chance to meet with newly hired Denver Broncos coach Josh McDaniels.

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.

No position has been promised for Romanowski, no expectations given. It's just a simple sit-down.

The team had no comment.

Just like in his playing days, Romanowski figures he has a lot to offer the Broncos.

"I'm going to profess my vision on how to better take care of the athletes," Romanowski said Thursday in an interview from the Bay Area.

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 said he would also hire a full-time nutritionist and bring in some of the world's elite strength and conditioning coaches.

As for the protein bar, it would be like a mini Jamba Juice, complete with ingredients to boost strength, endurance and the immune system.

He would also design workouts tailored to an athlete's specific needs. That way, an offensive lineman isn't doing the same workout as, say, a defensive back.

"What they do on the football field is totally different. Their strength programs and speed programs will be very different," Romanowski said. "Say you have eight defensive backs. They're all going to be very similar in the way they're trained, but one day a week may be very detailed to what each specific player's needs are. Maybe one needs more leg strength? Maybe one needs more of a burst? Maybe one has trouble changing directions to his right? So you break it down that specifically."

Given his close friendship with Bowlen, Romanowski's preference is to land a role with the Broncos.

However, he's hoping to break into the league with a team in some capacity, whether as a nutrition consultant or coach.

"I have a vision. To not give back is almost doing a disservice," he said. "It's almost like I feel like I owe this to the NFL, for being so good to me for so many years."

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."

Right now, Romanowski is focusing on his impending meeting with McDaniels, studying up on the former New England offensive coordinator-turned-head coach.

"I'm going to go in and see how it goes," Romanowski said. "I know I can make a big impact with the Broncos."

I say bring him in and give him the salary of an over priced sports nutritionist.

At least he'll bring some nit and grit into the locker room and some "rah rah" on the sidelines.

If there's a player under performing, maybe we'll have Romo give him a black eye. Or he'll pull a Mike Singletary which was pretty effective in getting the Niners blood riled up.

Romo will also show the guys how to get around the piss man.....:listen: ... I kid, I kid. :lol:
