eball Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I agree, and think that is why they want to keep him as long as they can. Technique helps but I bet he has a lot to say about how these guys hit and use their hands and get into position in pads. I hope they keep him and think it makes a difference. Who knows though, I don't think we know much about Anderson. They must like him to some degree. I think I read that Anderson has been around for four years, so he's pre-Moron. He's also affiliated with LaCharles Bentley's OL school. The guy seems to be highly thought of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I wonder if the reason the Bills have not let Kromer go is more about the future. IF Roman comes in and turns the O around he may get head coaching consideration. It would be nice to already have a successor on staff for OC, Kromer.

Matt in KC Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 My take is that this was a misdemeanor accusation for a position coach, not exactly a headline-grabbing case that is would be highly visible to fans or of interest to a national audience. I think the Bills want to keep Kromer (as do I). They are showing they are disciplining their employee and are letting time pass. Assuming this doesn't blow up at his court hearing, I think they will try to quietly bring him back on at some point when there is a lot more interesting to discuss than this legal proceeding.

thebandit27 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I think the reason he has not been let go is the Bills don't think this incident is worth firing him. I think the reason is that they don't want to act too quickly and then find out that the report was much ado about nothing...I do believe that they intend to fire him.

klos63 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Because they haven't practiced since he was suspended. Well, there is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Because they haven't practiced since he was suspended. Right. So there is no need to assume Kromer's absence has had any detrimental impact on anything. I hope Anderson Wally Pipps Kromer. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would have fired him already if they really wanted to get rid of him and/or thought he was going to face a (harsh) punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 For example, the Bills allow Kromer to coach camp, then announce a self-imposed 4-game suspension. Bad coach. Bad, bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 When they hired him they thought he was the best OL coach they could get. What has happened to change that? Actually Mike Solari was their #1 choice (not sure if that ever made it out into the media)...he was offered the job, but went to GB because he felt they were closer to winning a Superbowl.

GO BILLS!!! I would think him not being there preparing for camp with all the other coaches has to be harmful. I assume there's more to the job than just nothing happens because the players haven't practiced (there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) But at the time they hired Kromer they thought he was the best OL coach they could get.Rex thought that. Reportedly Roman wanted a different guy - Foerester (sp). That may have been after Solari wasn't interested.

thebandit27 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) But at the time they hired Kromer they thought he was the best OL coach they could get. I suppose that's true; not sure if Solari had told them his decision by that point or if they just moved on because they wanted to fill the position. No question that they liked Kromer a lot though. Rex thought that. Reportedly Roman wanted a different guy - Foerester (sp). That may have been after Solari wasn't interested. Roman wanted Solari EDIT: Found a link that kind of says the same... http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/respected-veteran-mike-solari-will-help-coach-packers-offensive-line-b99444800z1-292031181.html Solari, according to a friend, could have had the No. 1 job in Buffalo under coach Rex Ryan that eventually went to Aaron Kromer. Greg Roman, the 49ers' outgoing offensive coordinator, already had joined the Bills in the same capacity. There were indications that Solari also was talking to Atlanta about its No. 1 position that went to Chris Morgan. In the end, Solari turned down the Bills and accepted the No. 2 post in Green Bay because the Packers had a better chance to win and because of his familiarity with McCarthy. They were on Marty Schottenheimer's staff in Kansas City from 1997-'98. "I really know Mike," said Solari. "That was a key component this time around."

"That was a key component this time around." in the debate between kromer and anderson, it is without question they liked kromer more though, whether he was #1 on the list, or just the best they could get, or any other debate. and his $1m paycheck indicates that they like him a lot.
