Arizona Cardinals have relieved offensive line coach/running game coordinator Sean Kugler of his duties, head coach Kliff Kingsbury says The Arizona Republic tuesday.
Kugler was fired after an incident in Mexico City on Sunday. According to ESPN, Kugler allegedly groped a woman. Mexican authorities were reportedly informed of the incident and alerted the cardinals to the situation. Kugler was later relieved of his duties and flown home on Monday morning.
“We relieved him of his duties and he was sent home on Monday morning before the game,” Kingsbury said. Bob McManaman. “It’s difficult every time you make a personnel change in this way.”
The Cardinals made a trip to Mexico for the NFL International Series, where they lost to the San Francisco 49ers, 38-10, on “Monday Night Football.”
Kugler joined the Cardinals in 2019 as an offensive line coach. The 56-year-old also spent time with the Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos. He made his league debut with the Detroit Lions as a tight ends coach in 2001.
