Good ol' Bruce is back. Besides taking the fall for the Music City Miracle, he is one of the better special team coaches out there. Good hire.

Worst special teams coach in the league. And responsible for Music city miracle.

Great choice.

A solid move... Dehaven was a scapegoat for "the miracle"

Darryl Ported was responsible for that.

DeHaven is a solid coach.

He is? You must not have been watching the Seahawks last 3 seasons.

What a complete joke this team is. Replace Bobby April with DeHaven? LOL

wow.... i'm speechless.

The Seahawks don't have a good team at all...and you are gonna put the blame on a Special Teams coach? Yeah, it's all his fault.

Granted, I liked Bobby April as much as anybody, but he's gone now. If he had hired some up and comer with no real history of success, we'd be killing him. But, Gailey goes out and finds a guy who has been very successful in the league overall and has been with this organization for a long time.

I applaud the hire.

Bobby's the best in the business, and it's a damn shame he wasn't retained.

Good hire, developed the best Special Teams coach of all time in Steve Tasker, also developed guys like Mark Pike, Adam Linger etc...

he wasn't retained because he was pissed off he didn't get the HC gig for the final few games. Either way he would have been gone because he would have been interviewed for the HC job and not gotten it and then would have left anyways. No reason for him to even be brought up considering he wasn't coming back regardless.

I've heard this all week about most of the coaches we hired. They had bad talent. Bad luck. Blah blah blah. What do you think we have? Great talent?

Adding special team players isn't really very expensive. Teaching and understanding roles is what is important. DeHaven could have added low budget players. Failed. He didn't teach his guys anything. Fail. What has DeHaven done to say he's a good coach?

To me, this reaks another cheap hire. DeHaven was not going to be back in football next season... and then Nix called.

We did not replace April, April left and voided his contract.

I said it when jauron was hired, lets see what happens in the season. After that first season we should have all seen the writing on the wall but some of us didn't. We need to give Chan and his staff a full season before we start destroying them.

Lastly we will more than likely suck next year but if we make progress in November and December then we should be happy.

Re: Bills Hire Special Teams coach

Excellent. He was terrific for us the first time around, and has been gainfully employed ever since, including 4 years with Parcells in Dallas.

I don't think the Music City Forward Lateral was so much his fault, as his players not maintaining their lanes.

How is it that we know this stuff before Adam Schefter reports it on TWITTAGRA!!!!
