During their trip to Mexico City to face the San Francisco 49ers, the Arizona Cardinals dismissed offensive line coach and run-game coordinator Sean Kugler. He allegedly groped a woman the night before the game.
Kugler is contesting the firing and denies those allegations.
As announced on the PR Newswire, Kugler hired Shields Petitti Employment Law to file for arbitration on his behalf, citing multiple claims against the Cardinals for his firing with cause.
The filing calls the allegations unsubstantiated.
“The allegations against Coach Kugler are simply untrue and have caused Sean, his wife and family enormous personal and professional damage,” stated Michael Petitti of the law firm. “Coach and his family have been desperate to understand from the Cardinals front office and others what rationale or evidence was used to terminate him for cause.”
Apparently, the Cardinals fired Kugler without interviewing him or conducting an investigation.
This will be a situation to watch in the weeks to come.
