When he was a rookie coach, some of the players tried to pull a practical joke on him. He didn't fall for it, and said something like "What, do you think I just fell off the tuna truck?". And it stuck.

He was responding to some players trying to pull a con on him, and he got the "tuna" reference from those old Starkist commercials.

on a boat trip in mexico....he was such a goofball back then. We used to go running around the deck in our underwear slinging fish back and forth at each other. Well one day bill slipped and landed on his tail bone which caused him to squeal like a little girl....ever since then the boys and i have called him tuna..tuna pants...tuna nuts....tuna butt...and a-nut.

He got caught tapping the one eyed monster while watching Jessica Simpson do her Tuna fish Chicken of the Sea bit. Hence the name Tuna.
Romo was not too pleased so he hooked up with Miss Underwood and forgot how to play football!!!!

Because so many of his teams flopped in the playoffs.
