Ken Flajole

Sounds like frijole, so could be good fit. On the other hand, I'm a bit baffled by the choice given the number of experienced college DCs available.

This was Bob Stull's recomendation. Im thinking kugler thought Casteel was locked up and didnt have a backup plan. Flajole coached under Don James at Washington and under Stull at UTEP and Mizzou. It looks like Kugler asked Stull for names and got Flajole. Its definitely an off the radar choice, and a little bit risky.

Kugler announces Ken Flajole accepted a job with the @Eagles and will not be UTEP DC. Added he has a backup plan.

Nobody wants the DC job at UTEP

I'll take the job. I'll bring an 11-0 scheme. All out blitzing!

How can he sign with the Eagles when they don't have a coach yet?

 

[minergabe]

Might have to call Stoker back at this point. LOL

 

[PURPLEFIRE]

I liked what stoker did with the defense... He had a bad year this year!! But last year his defense played well..... Still not sure why we got rid of him

Reports are, the Eagles are preparing to offer the job to Kansas City OC Doug Pederson. Flajole may have ties to Pederson and been assured the job.

Seems to me they waited to long

Screw it! No one wants this job because Kug is on the hot seat and the coordinator would have to make an instant impact because attendance is way down and fans feel alienated under Kug, even long time ticket holders. Throw in Cain and see what he can to besides making pizza.

Frankly, I doubt that Kugler is "on the hot seat" - at least not any more than any coach is in these days of "win right now at any cost." He has steadily rebuilt a program that was in utter disarray. He did a remarkable job last season when injuries decimated the team. I believe he has been consistent in his approach to building a competitive football program at UTEP. Which, by the way, has been lacking since the mid-60's.

Yeah, Kug is not on the hot seat.
