Spitting Bill Romanowski says he is in training for the head coaching position of the Denver Broncos. What does he offer:
- A fine understanding of steroids, HGH, and every other faddish nutso training gimmicks guaranteed to advance NFL careers; great connections to BALCO
- A great mentoring with the NFL's most successful franchise -- the Oakland Raiders
- Prior experience as a coach of his son's pee wee football team where he assaulted the other team's coach.
- Experience with using a spouse as an excuse to get out of a drug charge
- Beating hell out of a teammate (see photo, below right)
The Sporting News carries the story:
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."
Fantasy is right. Fantasy on steroids.
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.
Romanowski does have a plan. Wonder if that plan includes steroids and Star Caps supplements?
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."
A coaching plan on steroids. Great. This sicko should not be allowed anywhere near an NFL team.
Hey loser. You said this aobut Romo, "A great mentoring with the NFL's most successful franchise -- the Oakland Raiders"
Yeah, I guess that AFC Championship Team sucked pretty bad huh? With the MVP aand all on it, huh? You are a stodge and a pawn of teh Raider hating media.
Who was the last AFC West team in the SB?
Take your hate and leave it outside, the Raiders have a way better history than 99% of the NFL. I'll take that as a fan, and when they get good again, STFO the bandwagon, loser. You piss me off.
