Kromer hired by Bears...

Jamessr · 01-16-2013, 10:16 AM

I can see him leaving for a Head Coach job... couldn't blame him there.
But leaving for the exact same thing... sounds like it was all about money.

Either had to be about the green or a chance to reunite w/ an old friend. Not sure why'd he want to leave for a lateral move. I've always said, can't blame a guy for wanting to better himself, hopefully he has continued success. We'll be fine.

Have fun with Jay Cutler when he blows up on you like a bay on National TV

He was hired as the Offensive Coordinators position. It's a step up from O-line coach.

If they don't get other HC or OC gigs how about a look at Ken Whisenhunt or Pat Shurmur? Both have offensive line and OC experience.

Ill put $ that the New Orleans Saints front office has been prepared for replacing coaches since the day after we won the Super Bowl in 2009....

The Bears also just hired a new head coach out of the CFL.

You do realize that he was an o-Line coach with the Saints and this is a promotion to O-Coordinator?

This is just my guess, but I don't think the Saints will go after any big, or semi-big names, even if Carmichael leaves aswell. Simply because Sean is the actual play caller. And I don't see any former head coaches coming in just to coach the O-line. The replacements will probably be people we've never heard of.

I knew this.... when I read the topic I got pissed andtotally forgot about it. Wasn't until someone mentioned it. I still wish they had taken Carmichael than Kromer.

But yeah I did know that..

It has been reported Trestman will call the plays and not Kromer.
