I say they should give Bobby April a chance at the HC spot and see how he does. April's been interested in the HC spot for awhile, like when he interviewed here after Mularky. April is passionate, aggressive, creative and intense coach, the opposite of Jauron. He's had a top 5 special teams all the years he's been here. This year he's having an average year, especially with the penalities (still top 10 in the return yardage...etc). Those fumbles are on Parrish and Mckelvin who choose to play costly. Plus each year there's been new rules on the ST unit (wedges, overloads with onside kicks). Here's April's resume:
April was a four-year letterman as a linebacker at Nicholls State in Thibodaux, Louisiana from 1972-75
1978 Southern Miss
Graduate Assistant
1979 Tulane
Tight Ends Coach
1980-1986 Arizona Wildcats
Defensive Line/Secondary Coach
1987-1990 USC Trojans
Secondary/Kicking Coach
1990 Ohio State Buckeyes
Secondary Coach
1991-1993 Atlanta Falcons
Tight Ends/Special Teams Coach
1994-1995 Pittsburgh Steelers
Special Teams Coordinator
1996-1999 New Orleans Saints
Special Teams Coordinator
2001-2003 St. Louis Rams
Special Teams Coordinator
2004-present Buffalo Bills
Assistant Head Coach and Special Teams Coordinator
April has done other coaching positions besides Special Teams. With John Harbaugh having some success after being a Special Teams coach. I'm just saying give him a shot see if he's anything. If he's lucky he could be like Michael Singletary, if not bring in HC this offseason. It's better then what we got right now.
