Bugel Will Officially Retire Today

SmootSmack · 01-13-2010, 11:22 AM

Press conference at Noon(ish)

SmootSmack · 01-13-2010, 11:23 AM

I don't have that confirmed by the way, but I'm pretty confident it's true

MTK · 01-13-2010, 11:37 AM

Sucks to see Buges go but he's had a heck of a ride.

BigHairedAristocrat · 01-13-2010, 11:40 AM

Wonder what he'll do now. I don't see him and retirement going well together.

53Fan · 01-13-2010, 11:42 AM

There goes a part of history. I would have loved to have spent some time with this man. I could listen to him talk and tell stories forever.

skinsfan_nn · 01-13-2010, 11:43 AM

He's been one of the very best! How bout them HOGS!

Wish him a great life after a long and successful football career.

Happy trails, Boss Hog.

Now more than ever, we REALLY need some top tier talent along the line. Alex Gibbs is going to Seattle, Rick Dennison is going to Houston, and Buges is retiring. We're going to have a drop-off at the offensive line coach position.

So if you think these backup bums sucked this year, wait till next year if we don't get new personnel. If it weren't for Bugel, Jason Campbell would probably be dead.

Somebody mentioned Ray Brown, why not bring him in, he's a disciple of Bugel and did a good job in Buffalo.

I agree.

From Ross Tucker via Twitter:

I had 9 OL coaches in the NFL and I subscribe more to Joe Bugel's philosophy than any of the others. A legend is retiring today.

rypper11 · 01-13-2010, 12:43 PM

Thanks for all the years Buges.

I'm not so sure about a drop off at O line coaching. I think Bugel was part of the problem telling the front office that he was good with what he had and did not push them to draft O line. I think he probably said something like this "we are Ok with the O line if we can just pick up a guy or two" and he thought he could then coach them up. While he could coach them up its not like it was back in the 80's.

MTK · 01-13-2010, 12:53 PM

We'll never know if Buges read the talent level wrong or if Vinny simply did not give him the help he needed. I would lean more towards blaming Vinny and the front office. Though with a move like letting Bridges go, you have to place more blame with Buges for that.

I said it when it happened and continue to say it, the Bridges move was not good.

But over the years Buges brought intensity and quality training to our OL. He deserves a happy retirement. Best of luck to ya, Boss Hog.

Got a standing ovation. Heaped a lot of praise on Snyder

People forget that Bugel was the line coach for the Oilers when Earl Campbell was tearing up the league
