  • Looks like Kugler may get a chance again in the NFL as an OL coach with the Broncos.

  • Me as well. He needs to get back to what he is best at and enjoys doing.

  • Good luck to coach Kuglar. Sometimes we need to stick to what we're good at and not try to be something we're not. I hope you get the job.

  • He was considered an up and coming coach, and he had an approach that hadn't been tried here before.  if it had worked, it would have been amazing and magical.  Unfortunately it didn't.

    It was a poorly calculated risk.  The probability was that it wouldn't work, but it was the cheap option.  Lots of senior managers would rather have cheap, slow failure than take a risk that might actually succeed.

    "Might" is not a word that can be used to describe something in the future after producing a season like we had.
    UTEP tried something new in Kuglar that might have worked over 4yrs ago and he failed miserably. UTEP had no choice but to move on or keep losing tons of $$.

  • I'm tired, but your response doesn't make sense compared to what I was trying to say.

    What I meant to say was that "cheap" often seems to people (Stull, Natalicio) like the low risk option, but sometimes it's actually less risky to spend some money on something that has a chance of working.  The second paragraph was actually looking at now, rather than at the time Kug was hired.

  • Kugler got the job. He is probably making more than he made at UTEP. Maybe he can donate big bucks to UTEP football since he had a big hand in bringing it down to the current depths.

  • I wonder how he answered the question "So....what have you been doing the last five years?"

    Kugler: "Oh...not a whole lot really.  Killing time mostly..."

    ...and killing off a mediocre football program. It only took one last bullet."
