Re: Aaron Kromer the new OC/OLC
not much OC experience. As in none. He was the Saints O-line coach, and only served as an interim head coach during the HC's 6-game suspension. strange. Maybe Trestman will be the real OC?

RE: Aaron Kromer the new OC/OLC
What does this mean for Bates? Does he stay on as QB coach? Haven't really heard about much interest in him or him interviewing.
And isnt he more a WCO guy anyway?

RE: Aaron Kromer the new OC/OLC
Everyone's saying Trestman will call the plays. I guess Kromer will focus on the OL and just have the OC title.
Was he an OL coach for NO? We know they've had success.

Re: Aaron Kromer the new OC/OLC
Yeah. I assume Trestman will be calling plays...Kromer will be involved in the game-planning, kind of like Dennison in Houston.

Re: Aaron Kromer the new OC/OLC
I get the impression that all these hires are going to be beholden to Emery for their jobs at this level. I don't see anybody yet who would be a "lock" for that same job with another team. I don't think that Emery wanted anybody who would question his authority or abilities. Let's hope he knows what he is doing. |

Re: Aaron Kromer the new OC/OLC
Here's a bit of info http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2013/1/16/3882232/chic ago-bears-hire-aaron-kromer-offensive-coordinator Best part of it was this: Kromer's line last season also stood up under incredible duress. Despite teams knowing the Saints often had no choice but to throw, Kromer's group only allowed 59 hits on Drew Brees, the third best total in the NFL. |

Re: Aaron Kromer the new OC/OLC
Now this hire I don't mind. This guy gets a lot out of his O line (and we need a heck of a lot of help in that category.) If Trestman is going to go full throttle in the passing game we need a guy that's familiar with that type of offense for blocking assignments and the like. He can probably help Trestman with decision making based on what the O line is doing well (or not) at certain points in a game.

Re: Aaron Kromer the new OC/OLC
Another good provile on Kromer: link.He ran both the OL and the ground game schemes for the Saints. It makes sense with Trestman's reported concentration on protecting the quarterback. Also it seems like his expertise with the line and ground game leave a strong possibility that Bates sticks around. I read in one of the Chicago papers that Trestman worked with Bates' father in the past, so perhaps there'll be that continuity. If he also keeps Marinelli, I really like the eased transition period. Will be watching the news to see. I'm not sold on Trestman yet, and won't be unless/until we see results next season... but I'm starting to feel like it could be ok! |

Re: Aaron Kromer the new OC/OLC
According to articles they share playcalling in Houston. But like Greenbay and.. umm How it's been with the Saints. I like that he has that connection to the Saints and it's a new good track record O-line coach. Plus he has that HC experience in the NFL that doesn't hurt. Bearsfan247 wrote: Yeah.

Re: Aaron Kromer the new OC/OLC
AND he's been working with a very sucessful offensive unit in New Orleans. That is never a bad thing in my opinion. My only question is what exactly does this guy look like? I hope he's not a nerd, or else f*ck this hire! Lol, jk --------------------------------------------- --- ClydeLee wrote: According to articles they share playcalling in Houston.

He looks like he's got fire and brimstone in him, so the Ditka lovers should be happy, and he has emotions so no more lovie.  LOL When HE shoves an O-lineman for poor performance, they wear a pad...
