John Clayton at ESPN is reporting that Buffalo Bills special teams coach Bobby April has exercised a clause in his contract that terminates his deal. He is now a coaching “free agent,” and teams hoping to interview him do not need to seek permission from the Bills to do so.
April leaves the Bills after six seasons as Buffalo’s special teams coordinator, including the last four as Assistant Head Coach. Under April’s tutelage, Buffalo’s special teams units have consistently been among the league’s top units, producing two No. 1 rankings and several star specialists, including kick returner Terrence McGee, punt returner Roscoe Parrish and punter Brian Moorman.
Having been around Brian Moorman for years, Buffalo Bills special teams coach Bobby April can appreciate sound special teams play when he sees it. Last Sunday he saw one of the best punting performances of his career— and it wasn’t courtesy of Moorman.
