Despite having the charges that he hit a minor last month (http://buffalosportsbeat.blogspot.com/2015/07/whats-going-on-here-in-buffalo-first.html) dropped the other day, the Buffalo Bills announced that they were suspending offensive line coach Aaron Kromer for the first six games of the regular season without pay. He will continue to coach the line throughout training camp and the preseason. The Bills did their own investigation of the incident and decided to take action even before the NFL could, or would, punish him.
I wonder if they decided to investigate this incident more and it came to the conclusion they have to suspend him more than 1/3 of the season, why didn't they just let him go like so many wanted them to do in the first place? Just because he wasn't charged didn't mean he didn't do anything, it's like they came to a settlement with the boy he roughed up and his family. If you are suspending him, obviously for something awful and wrong he did, why not just say goodbye? You really don't need hm as you can find an offensive line coach and you have one replacing him in the meantime. The players have been up to speed as to what this offense is doing.
Like I said before, I don't really like Kromer from what happened last year with the Chicago Bears and especially with Jay Cutler. During the offseason when Cutler's name was being mentioned for a possible trade, I'd say bring him here. People would say he wouldn't come here because Kromer is here. My response was he'll be traded and he has no choice and two, fire Kromer. I'd rather have a QB than a line coach anyway.
Which brings me to my next point, the topic of there's so many coaches on one football team. Why does a team need so many coaches? You've got the head coach, offensive and defensive coordinators, QB coach, offensive line coach, special teams coach, kicking coach, jock strap coach, and so on. What's the point of all these coaches?
Can't the head coach, offensive and defensive coordinators and maybe even just a special teams coach do everything? Why do teams have to keep paying all this money into coaches to be on a team? It doesn't seem very efficient cost wise even though the NFL prints money. It's still a business and in the real world, we let people go simply because there's too many. But I digress.
I also don't like how a lot of these guys fail and are losers but because they know someone, they got an NFL coaching job for life. They may never be a head coach or a coordinator but you can be a line coach or a receivers coach. Can't I be an offensive line coach or receivers or running backs coach? Hey you, block, catch, and run. I'd love to be a QB coach for one of the best QBs in the game. It's basically a free promotion.
