Rex Ryan promised to “build a bully” when he signed on with the Buffalo Bills in January, but now he is dealing with an overly aggressive coach on his staff in July.

Aaron Kromer, the offensive line coach Ryan brought on after joining the Bills, was charged with misdemeanor battery Sunday for allegedly shoving a boy to the ground and threatening to kill the victim’s family. Kromer allegedly punched the boy in the face after the victim and two other boys used Kromer’s beach chairs, according to the Walton County, Fla., Sheriff’s Office.

Police noted that Kromer grabbed the children’s fishing pole and threw it in the water before telling the victim that “he would kill his family” if the boy reported the confrontation to police. The incident occurred near a house on Inlet Beach. The Bills told the News they were gathering facts in the aftermath of the arrest.

Kromer, 48, was booked at Walton County Jail for about 90 minutes and released on no bail shortly after 3 a.m. Sunday. The Sheriff's Office stated that it is continuing to investigate the charges filed, and that the executive staff will review the case first thing Monday morning wne a redacted report will be made available.

The Bills brought Kromer on staff after his stint with the Chicago Bears. He served as offensive coordinator for two years there, and drew headlines when, according to a report in the Chicago Tribune last December, Kromer made a "tearful apology" during a team meeting after criticizing quarterback Jay Cutler to an NFL Network reporter.

He has coached in the NFL for 15 years. In 2009, he was a member of the coaching staff that led the Saints to the organization’s first Super Bowl victory.

While in New Orleans, Kromer worked with the offensive line and running backs. He also filled in as the interim head coach for the first six games of the 2012 season when Sean Payton was banned for the year and assistant head coach Joe Vitt had to serve his suspension in connection with the NFL's bounty investigation.

Kromer’s job in Buffalo offered new challenges, and his arrest attracted more attention to an offensive line meeting room already filled with intrigue. Weeks after signing Ryan, the organization gave a contract to lineman Richie Incognito, the guard at the center of a bullying scandal with the Miami Dolphins in November 2013.
Incognito was suspended by the NFL for harassing teammate Jonathan Martin. He was then reinstated in February 2014 and tried out for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos. No team offered him a job.

Coaches are subject to NFL discipline. If the Bills decide to fire Kromer, they have Kurt Anderson on staff as an assistant offensive line coach. He played in the NFL and has been with the Bills three seasons.

Eight members of Ryan’s staff either coached with him or played under him during his tenure with the Jets.

The Bills begin training camp July 31.

Why rush to judgement? For all we know, he was justified.

The story I've read elsewhere is that these three kids were catcalling his daughter all day, then stole the chairs at dusk. He and his son confronted the kids and it escalated.

I've also read that they were possibly running at him from out of the darkness too

Haven't seen anything other than what I read here and what I heard on the radio this morning.

But he'll "Kill" the boys family huh.

If they spent all day harassing his daughter and were messing with his property then they deserved a punch in the face.

Really? Have you ever been in a fight before? Ever had your children threatened?

KCrockaholic · 07-13-2015, 04:51 PM

The real question to begin with though if those kids were causing trouble, where's the parents and why wasn't it handled in an adult manner by the adult?

That argument meant something back in the 70's.

These days, the parents are just as bad as the kids they raise.

There's a difference between a "kid" and a teen.

Maybe I haven't read the things other people have. But based off what I'm reading here, and what I heard this morning, it's a fireable offence in my book.

**Rain Man** · 07-13-2015, 05:26 PM

Sounds to me like he has an obligation to kill the boy's family now. Never make a promise that you won't keep.

**Easy 6** · 07-13-2015, 05:34 PM

Rex said he was gonna bring the attitude back, and by God he brought it.

Really though, who knows, there seems to be a bit more to all of this than "pro coach tackles innocent 13 year old on the beach and beats him bloody"... is a lot different than "overgrown 17-18 year olds stole something and got called out", by someone who wasn't having it.
