I'm sure Mickey has a list of candidates for every position, probably approved by Payton last year.

They knew this could happen and I'm sure they prepared for it.

I just worry about how out-of-date the list will be. That was almost a year ago.

I' m bummed. Kromer was a big reason why underperforming unknown guys like Bushrod, Strief, could still hold it together, he's why our tight ends are so good at blocking, and he played a part in Jahri Evans *earning* the highest paid guard contract (at the time) and the story of Carl Nicks' transformation from a nobody fifth rounder into one of the best in the NFL. All that happened with him in the mix.

Unlike Carmichael, I could easily see Kromer really thriving outside of the Brees orbit. As offensive coordinator of a decent offense with a history of line problems, he will be a force there and I think the Bears will really improve.
