Robin Pflugrad (born November 29, 1958) is an American football coach. He was the head coach for the University of Montana from 2010 to 2011 and the offensive coordinator at Weber State University in 2013. Pflugrad previously held assistant coaching positions at Montana, Oregon, Washington State, Arizona State, and Portland State. During the 2014 football season he worked as a college football analyst for KTVX-TV, the CBS affiliate in Phoenix, Ariz., and as a football columnist for Cougfan.com, the Scout.com network affiliate covering Washington State University. Pflugrad also operates Pflugrad Athletic Consulting, offering administrative and strategic insights to high school and college athletic programs in the Southwest region.
Pflugrad was born in 1958 in Eugene, Oregon, where he later attended North Eugene High School. He went to college at Portland State University, where he played football as a wide receiver, earned all-academic recognition, and served as the team captain during his senior year in 1979. Pflugrad's first coaching experience came the following year as an assistant on the staff at his alma mater. In 1981, Pflugrad coached at South Eugene High School, before he returned to Portland State to serve as an assistant coach from 1982 to 1985 under head coach Don Read. Pflugrad then followed Read to Montana, where he worked as an assistant coach with the team's wide receivers, quarterbacks, and running backs.
From 1995 to 2000, Pflugrad was the wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator at Arizona State under head coach Bruce Snyder. The 1996 Sun Devils won the Pac-10 conference title and finished the season 11-1. From 2001 to 2005, he served as the tight ends coach, assistant head coach, and recruiting coordinator at Washington State. Washington State posted three straight 10-win seasons while he was on staff, and WSU head coach Bill Doba dubbed Pflugrad "The Bulldog" for his diligence in recruiting student-athletes to the university In 2002, Pflugrad was reportedly interested in the Montana head coaching job, but that went to Bobby Hauck instead. During that time period, he was offered a position on the Alabama staff by new head coach Mike Price, but remained at Washington State. After the 2005 season, Pflugrad joined head coach Mike Bellotti's staff at Oregon in a move driven in part by the desire to be closer to his and his wife's four elderly parents. He coached the wide receivers there from 2006 to 2008, including his own son, Aaron Pflugrad who was a freshman in 2007. In the spring of 2006, he had spinal surgery to replace three degenerative vertebrae. Over the course of his career he has coached approximately two-dozen All-Americans and/or future NFL players.
