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

[quote=SmootSmack;654241]Got a standing ovation. Heaped a lot of praise on Snyder[/quote]

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

Re: Bugel Will Officially Retire Today
 

Godspeed Joe Bugel. Soooo many memories you've given me, my family and friends. I cannot thank you enough.

Re: Bugel Will Officially Retire Today
 

What a man. God love him.

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

It's not hard to see why guys would run through a brick wall for him. I would. Have a great rest of your life Coach Buges..... and thanks.

Just finished watching his PC. Buges has been an institution within one for a long time.

Bless you Buges, and hope you have as much success with the rest of your life as you had coaching the offensive lines of the Washington Redskins.

God bless you, and good luck!!

Pretty awesome stuff. He said "I don't want to get emotional," and then slapped his knee and said "stop shaking!" LOL!

He's a true Redskin for sure. I'll miss him.

Re: Bugel Will Officially Retire Today
 

Good luck & God bless Bugel

[quote=Mattyk;654235]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.[/quote]

Two years ago at training camp when everyone was thinking we had O line issues I heard Buges talking like we had the best O line in the NFL. It was then I wondered if he was either blind or really thought that our O Line was in great shape as he stated. I believe he said that our O Line would be a strength of the team. I think what he has done for the skins was great but I think his time had come.

I thought the same myself.

I have been listening to "Bugle speak" (as I refer to it) for a long time. He has never had anything but high praise for all the linemen he's coached through the years, even when we know some of them did no warrant it. It's the character make-up of the man as we got to know him. I have yet to hear him make a derogatory or disparaging remark about any of his guys.

I agree it was probably time for him to move on no one recognized that fact more than he did.....Everyone's time must come sooner or later.

Buges would run through walls for his guys, and vice versa. Talent aside he would never talk down on his guys.

Now if you missed a block or any assignment during a game, he may have some not so nice things to say to you when you come to the sideline, but publicly he was going to praise you to high heaven.

Thanks for everything, Buges!!! A true Redskin.
