Reed83HOF Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 from a more "official source" Alex Marvez @alexmarvez 3m3 minutes ago Source tells @NFLonFOX that @buffalobills have hired ex- @ChicagoBears o-line coach Aaron Kromer for same position (@RapSheet 1st reported)
Reed83HOF Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 Wasn't this guy a rat in NO, with the "bonuses for hits" scandal? Don't see where he is a rat for that, but.... "The New Orleans Saints designated offensive line coach Aaron Kromer as the interim head coach for the first six regular-season games, when assistant head coach Joe Vitt will have to serve his suspension in connection with the NFL's bounty investigation."
HurlyBurly51 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Don't like this hire at all. What happened with Solari?
NewEra Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Noooooooooooo!!! Crazy how upset I get at this, but wow. Wow. Not happy about this. I don't know anything about the guy, but Chicago's OL was bad. Maybe it was the talent. Maybe it was the coaching. An uninspiring hire IMO.
klos63 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Noooooooooooo!!! Crazy how upset I get at this, but wow. Wow. Not happy about this. I don't know anything about the guy, but Chicago's OL was bad. Maybe it was the talent. Maybe it was the coaching. An uninspiring hire IMO. You don't know anything about him, so maybe getting immediately upset about the hire is probably a bit premature and greatly overreacting. I'm guessing the person that hired him might know something about him. Let him at least show up for work before you criticize. Don't like this hire at all. What happened with Solari? Please tell me why this isn't a good hire, why Roman is making a mistake in evaluating this coach.
Storm Front Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Hmm. Weird hire, and not very inspiring. After what happened in Chicago, I never thought this guy would coach in the NFL again.
HurlyBurly51 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Please tell me why this isn't a good hire, why Roman is making a mistake in evaluating this coach. He's a RAT! Oh, and his Chicago offense sucked hard. He created quite the circus in Chicago though.
billsfan1959 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Sounds like we have a winner: "Kromer was hired by the New Orleans Saints in 2008 as the running backs coach, before becoming the offensive line coach the following season. Under his tenure as OL coach, the Saints sent five players to a combined nine Pro Bowls, and tied for the fewest sacks in the league with 96.[5] Under Kromer, the Saints line twice won the Madden Most Valuable Protectors Award as the best offensive line in the league (in 2009 and 2011).[6] Kromer filled in as the Saints' interim head coach for the first six games of the 2012 NFL season as Joe Vitt served his six-game suspension.[7]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Kromer FWIW, according to PFF metrics, the Chicago OL graded out as 5th best in run blocking in 2013 and 6th best in 2014. The pass blocking graded out at 29th in 2013 and 19th in 2014. Overall, their offense graded out 8th in 2013 and 18th in 2014.
SoFFacet Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Noooooooooooo!!! Crazy how upset I get at this, but wow. Wow. Not happy about this. I don't know anything about the guy, but Chicago's OL was bad. Maybe it was the talent. Maybe it was the coaching. An uninspiring hire IMO. Right.
Doc Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Kromer was the OC in Chicago the past 2 seasons, not OL coach.
Clippers of Nfl Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 I somehow want to eat cheese when i think of the name aaron kromer. dont know why though
billsfan1959 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Kromer was the OC in Chicago the past 2 seasons, not OL coach. In 2013 he was both OC and OL Coach. In 2014, he was OC only
Reed83HOF Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 Chris Trapasso @ChrisTrapasso 28s29 seconds ago Still awaiting confirmation on Kromer to Bills. But I imagine it's a matter of time. Was told Mike Solari was offered "competitive" contract
Lurker Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) http://espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/story/_/id/12019111/chicago-bears-offensive-coordinator-aaron-kromer-tearfully-apologizes-criticizing-jay-cutler Interesting hire...I guees we can scratch Cutler off the list of potential QB acquisitions.

Reed83HOF Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 Chris Trapasso retweeted Zak Kromer @OkayKromzzzz 21m21 minutes ago What's up Buffalo?! Proud of my father doing amazing things in the NFL! Go Bills!!! #buffalo #bills
klos63 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 He's a RAT! Oh, and his Chicago offense sucked hard. He created quite the circus in Chicago though. Why do you think Roman/Ryan hired him?
Fixxxer Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Why is people upset he called out the coach killer? I'm sorry he had to apologize about it.
CNY315 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 I don't know anything about the guy Comedy lmao
NewEra Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 You don't know anything about him, so maybe getting immediately upset about the hire is probably a bit premature and greatly overreacting.
