BYU offensive line coach Ryan Pugh reportedly leaving to become offensive coordinator at Troy

The website FootballScoop.com is reporting that BYU offensive line coach Ryan Pugh will become the offensive coordinator at Troy under newly hired head coach Chip Lindsey.

Pugh is an Alabama native who played center at Auburn from 2007-10 and was a member of the Tigers’ 2010 national championship team. He has been a graduate assistant at Auburn, Virginia Tech, Cincinnati and LSU and was the offensive line coach at Texas-San Antonio before BYU hired him last winter to replace Mike Empey.

He helped develop two freshmen All-Americans for the Cougars in 2018. Center James Empey was named a first-team freshman All-American by the Football Writers Association of American and tackle Brady Christensen was named a second-team freshman All-American.
