Details on what exactly happened remain sketchy, but Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury confirmed to the USA TODAY Network on Tuesday that assistant Sean Kugler has been relieved of his duties.

Kingsbury said the move is permanent, meaning Kugler is no longer an employee of the team. He was part of Kingsbury’s original staff with the Cardinals in 2019 and had earned steady praise by players, coaches and members of the front office. “It’s challenging anytime you make a staff change in that type of manner and I’m just going to leave it at that,” Kingsbury told The Republic.
Kingsbury said Kugler’s duties will now be shared by assistant offensive line coach Brian Natkin and tight ends coach Steve Heiden, who both handled the job during Monday’s game. Offensive assistant Mike Bercovici will temporarily replace Heiden as tight ends coach. Kingsbury said a search for a new running game coordinator and offensive line coach would begin after this season.
