Buffalo Bills hire Aaron Kromer to be their next offensive line coach

The Buffalo Bills addressed another vacancy on their coaching staff Monday by hiring Aaron Kromer as their offensive line coach

The Buffalo Bills coaching staff has gone through some significant changes on the offensive side of the ball over the past month. It started with offensive coordinator Brian Daboll leaving to be the next head coach of the New York Giants. The team looked within the organization and named quarterback coach Ken Dorsey as their next offensive coordinator.

It is not surprising to see some position coaches follow other coaches to new organizations. That was the case as Bobby Johnson, who was the team’s offensive line coordinator for the past three seasons, will reportedly be hired by the Giants to serve in the same role, according to Mike Silver.

On Monday, the team found his replacement with the announcement that they had hired Aaron Kromer to be their next offensive line coach.

Aaron Kromer returns to the Buffalo Bills

Kromer’s most recent coaching experience was four years with the Los Angeles Rams but prior to that, he was in Buffalo as their offensive line coach from 2015 to 2016. While the Buffalo Bills didn’t have a great offense during those years, they were dominant on the ground and led the league in rushing yards both years.

Eric Wood, who was the team’s starting center for nine years, including those two seasons, applauded the hire on Twitter. He also mentioned how valuable an offensive line coach like Kromer can be to Ken Dorsey.

Kromer’s experience certainly goes beyond just being an offensive line coach as he was interim head coach of the New Orleans Saints in 2012 and was offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears in 2013 and 2014.

At times last year, the Buffalo Bills struggled to find an effective offensive line and this is something that the front office should focus on improving this offseason.
