Is Bill Romanowski for Real?
In one of the strangest stories you’ll probably read in this off season, Bill Romanowski wants to be the head coach of the Denver Broncos. This totally came out of left field and surprised a lot of people.
A little background on Romanowski: he was a linebacker and a good one. He came out of Boston College to have a 16 year career in the NFL. Six of those seasons were with the Broncos. He also played with the Raiders. He also had taken the steroids that were at the center of the BALCO scandal. To say he had a bad temper is putting it mildly.
Since his retirement from football, he’s had a financial interest in the EAS company, which is a suppliment producer. Actually, part of his plan, if he is named head coach, is to have a full time person to make protein shakes for the players.
He also has experience in broadcasting and a little acting too. He played a guard in the remake of The Longest Yard. He’s also been in Benchwarmer and Bedtime Stories plus a few other movies.
This week, he submitted a 30+ page Powerpoint presentation to the owner of the Broncos. He outlined his plans for what he would do if the team became his. He has no coaching experience at any level. The only reason to hire Romanowski would be to make a splash. The Denver Broncos don’t need any splash.
“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.
It’s good that he’s so confident because he’s probably the only one with confidence in his ability to be a head coach of an NFL team.
It’s hard for me to focus on the playoffs now that my boys (Pats) are out. There is always next year. I love you blog, btw. Therese from Careermysteries.today.com and Healthmysteries.today.com.
