Anthony Lugo was named the head coach of Cal Lutheran football in May of 2021. He is just the fifth head coach in the program’s storied history. In Lugo's first year, the Kingsmen started 5-0, the program's best start since 2006. The team also received votes in the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Top-25 poll, the first time the Kingsmen were mentioned in the poll since 2013. Lugo has been instrumental in the Kingsmen’s success during the 2000’s. He helped coach the Purple and Gold to four straight SCIAC championship season’s (2009-12) and the team went an unprecedented 25-0 in conference play. Before coming the head coach, Lugo has been the offensive coordinator for the past five seasons. With Lugo leading the offense, Kingsmen student-athletes broke into the record book with some even grabbing the top spot. Under the tutelage of Lugo, quarterback Adam Friederichsen (2014-17) had the second most passing touchdowns for a career and the third most passing yards with 52 and 6,253, respectively. For season records, Friederichsen tied for the most passing touchdowns (24, 2017) and Cesar De Leon tied for the third-most (23, 2019).
