Arizona Cardinals fire Sean Kugler: What did the former Assistant Coach do?

Arizona Cardinals offensive line coach and run game coordinator Sean Kugler was fired in the late hours of Tuesday, November 22. First, the experienced coach's dismissal was effectively confirmed by the Cardinals when they removed his image and details from the team's website.

Then, on Wednesday morning, Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury spoke to The Arizona Republic. He said that Kugler was fired for an incident that occurred on Sunday night in Mexico City, a day before the Cardinals' 38-10 loss to the 49ers.

At the time of reporting, it is still unclear as to what Sean Kugler did to warrant an almost instant dismissal from an NFL franchise. However, the Cardinals moved very fast with the dismissal of the coach, with the 56-year-old having been a part of the Cardinals' staff since 2019.

However, something serious likely happened across the border in Mexico. Due to the social media boom, we will likely know what happened soon. You can check back here at your leisure for the latest updates.

Reflecting on the Arizona Cardinals' season in the aftermath of Sean Kugler getting fired

The Arizona Cardinals entered this season with playoff aspirations and built a proper roster for the objective. As such, holding a 4-7 record and the third spot in an average NFC West conference will surely rub the fans the wrong way.

There are many reasons for the drop-off in their 2022 NFL season performance compared to their 2021 regular season performance. This drop-off is similar to what occurred in the 2021 postseason when they were unceremoniously kicked out by the Los Angeles Rams.

Arizona lacks quality defense, with their defensive anchor being an aged JJ Watt, and their offense is reeling from the loss of Zach Ertz for the season.

The Cardinals' arduous position will likely see them miss the postseason this year. Additionally, if things stay the same for the better, Sean Kugler won't be the only coach receiving his marching orders by the end of the 2022 NFL season.
