Memoriams:
Unfortunately 2020 saw the loss of two great man in the world of The Hogs. Sadly, Joe Bugel and Jim Hanifan passed away. Both lived long, full lives and will forever be remembered for their legendary contributions to the Washington Redskins, and namely, The Hogs. May they Rest in Peace.
From NFL.com
“Joe had an incredible passion for the game of football,” former Redskins head coach and Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe Gibbs said in a statement to the team website.
“He came to work every day with such great excitement and his players had tremendous respect for him. The strength of our coaching staff on both sides of the ball was a key reason we had so much success. Bugel was such a big part of that and his impact was felt not only by those Redskins’ teams, but truly across the entire League. I will miss his friendship and I will always cherish our late-night arguments putting together the game plan each week. Pat and I will be praying for his wife Brenda, his girls, and their entire family.”

He coached star tackle Dan Dierdorf and notorious guard Conrad Dobler with St. Louis, then directed the “Hogs” in Washington. Hanifan went 39-49-1 with the Cardinals, reaching the playoffs in 1982. He won Super Bowls as an assistant with Washington after the 1991 season and the Rams after the 1999 season.
