REDSKINS PARK - LOUDOUN COUNTY, VIRGINIA 21300 Redskin Park Drive • Ashburn, VA 20147 • 703-726-7000 www.redskins.com PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release January 13, 2009 JOE BUGEL ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA - Redskins assistant Joe Bugel, regarded as one of the greatest offensive line coaches in history, and former head coach of the Phoenix Cardinals and Oakland Raiders, announced his retirement after 32 seasons in the National Football League. Bugel spent 15 of those seasons as an assistant with the Redskins. In his first stint with the club, from 1981-1989, Bugel was the architect of the famed “Hogs” offensive line, featuring stalwarts Russ Grimm, Joe Jacoby, Mark May, Jeff Bostic, George Starke and others. The group, one of the most dominant in league annals, led the Redskins to three Super Bowls, including victories following the 1982 and 1987 seasons. Bugel was instrumental in the develop- ment of four offensive linemen earning Pro Bowl berths - Grimm (4), Jacoby (4), Bostic (1) and May (1). Bugel began as the Redskins offensive coordinator in 1981 and was promoted to assistant head coach in 1983. Under Bugel’s direction, the Redskins scored a then-NFL record 541 points (1983), had four 1,000-yard rushers, one 4,000-yard passer and nine 1,000-yard receivers. After helping the Redskins to a 92-48 overall record in a nine-year span, including an 11-3 mark in the postseason, Bugel was hired by the then-Phoenix Cardinals as head coach in 1990.
