JohnnyHector Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 In the most shameless public campaigning since "Klecko for Mod", Bill Romanowski is making a plea to be considered for the Broncos vacant head coaching position. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/01/09/broncos.romanowski.ap/index.html 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." I'd love to see that Powerpoint presentation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 For Pat to do something like this, it would take him being a visionary... I suspect he'd have to be having a hallucinatory experience, rather than a visionary one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 LOL Romanowski is a known steroid user and ended a teammates career (per Johnny Hector's post). If he was the HC of the Broncos they should do Hard Knocks with him every season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York Mick Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I would hire him as a LBer coach or LBer coach/Ass DC and then let him work his way up the coaching ladder if he could but no one in their right mind would hire him as a HC. I don't even think Al Davis would hire him and he'd hire just about anyone to be a coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
