Joe 'Buges' Bugel (born March 10, 1940 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania), is the Offensive line coach for the Washington Redskins. This is his second tour of duty with the team. He served as offensive line coach or assistant for the Detroit Lions 1975-76, the Houston Oilers 1977-80, Washington Redskins 1981-89, Oakland Raiders 1995-96, San Diego Chargers 1998-2001, and the Redskins again since 2004. He was also head coach of the Phoenix Cardinals (1990-93) and Oakland Raiders (1997). As head coach of the Phoenix Cardinals, and the Oakland Raiders, Bugel compiled a record of 24 wins against 56 losses over five full seasons.
Bugel's largest claim to fame in his coaching career was the creation of "The Hogs" -- the nickname he penned for his offensive line unit during the Redskins' 1982 training camp.
His offensive line was also instrumental in the Oilers' stunning 1979 playoff upset over the high-powered Dan Fouts San Diego Chargers. Working without Earl Campbell, Bugel's line, led by All-Pro tackle Leon Gray, made one-playoff-game heroes out of the likes of Rob Carpenter, Ronnie Coleman, Gifford Neilsen and Boobie Clark.
