Sean Kugler, the assistant head coach and offensive line coach for the 2007 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl Champion Boise State University football team, has resigned his position with the Broncos to take an offensive line coaching position with the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League.

I heard that their line play was excellent and our OL needs all of the coaching can get.

They needed a replacement. I was hoping for Mike Maser, formerly of the Panthers. But it will be a Missouri (show me) type of situation.

But Kugler's a local guy (Lockport, NY) and he's a LOT younger than 60+ years old (he's 40, Zierlein was 61 and McNally has gotta be at least that old).

Sounds like the Bills looked to a good program to hire a good coach that will only enhance our coaching staff here in Buffalo.Sound judgement brings sound results.

I like the local talent idea. I think it makes it more personal.

His association with the Detroit Lions' offensive line--which was horrid--before going to Boise State concerns me, but Boise St. did have a good offensive line this year and, as asst. head coach, he must have had some input into their offense, which featured an interesting mix of pass and run (like the SB Bills' teams, Boise St. was seen as a passing team, but actually ran the ball more than they passed it and were very effective).

As a young coach from the area, I can see him being able to perhaps connect well with the younger players that he will be coaching and being someone with ties to the area and the team that may keep him around for awhile. I'll take a "wait-and-see" approach, particularly because the guy he is replacing, Zierlein, did such a good job with Peters and Pennington, but this has the potential to be a good hire. Still, we'll see....

I like the hiring. I think anytime you have the opportunity to get an assistant from an undefeated Div 1 school, you jump on the chance.

Great Hire on paper, lets see him in action.

Kugler coached the TE's until promoted to OL coach for the last 5 games of the 2005 season (when Jauron became HC). You can't really hold that against him.

I think this is a good organizational sign. This is the type of coach that doesn't seem likely to join a sinking ship. BSU's OL was very impressive this year and I know Kugler's work was highly regarded.

He would seem to be a logical sucessor to McNally as well.

I agree. I think it just might turn out pretty good though.

Excellent hire. Another coach who's regarded as a teacher and has the ability to bring out the best in players.
