Kromer spent last year out of football. After leaving Buffalo in 2017, he served three seasons as the Los Angeles Rams offensive line coach and run game coordinator.

The Bills led the NFL in rushing in both of Kromer's seasons in Buffalo, averaging 152.0 yards per game in 2015 and 164.4 yards per game the following season.

In his 21 years as an NFL coach, Kromer also was an offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears and the offensive line coach for the New Orleans Saints' Super Bowl team in 2009.

The Saints in his four seasons as offensive line coach (which included four games as interim head coach to start the 2012 season) allowed the fewest sacks (96) in the league.
