The Arizona Cardinals fired offensive line/run game coordinator Sean Kugler after he allegedly touched a female security guard at a hotel in Mexico City, multiple sources told CBS Sports.
The incident took place on Sunday evening, and by Monday morning Kugler had been fired from the team and returned to the United States. His dismissal was announced Tuesday following the Cardinals’ 38-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night.
When NFL teams travel to Mexico City, they are normally told to stay in and around the team hotel for safety reasons. The Cardinals, sources said, were encouraged to do the same while being able to walk among a cluster of hotels.
Kugler joined the Cardinals’ staff in 2019. He previously served as head coach at the University of Texas at El Paso from 2013 to 2017, and he has held several other college and professional jobs over the past three decades.
