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.
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.

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

That was one of the more unique press conferences I've seen.

And well deserved, I hope it was as good as Monk's HOF ovation.

Monk's was over 4 minutes, Joe deserves the same.
