Crap. That is too bad -- I was really hoping that the Steelers would snag him.

It's almost always a matter of money and we rarely win bidding wars.......
Re: Bobby April to Eagles
Wasn't April our ST coach in 01'? If memory serves me, our ST sucked that year too.
Re: Bobby April to Eagles
I wasn't opposed to him, but was he really the be all to STs?
I remember him being really raw raw personality, but how has he done since he left?
I can't remember much about Buffalo except a year or so ago, they Parrish returning well.

No, he coached in the mid 90's for a couple of season's....I remember Cowher screaming at the dude a lot, but cant remember our ST's effectiveness.

I know the Buffalo ST's lost the Pats* opener.... for that reason alone I'm good...
I'm not a coaching specialist but I think fans tend to love coaches AFTER they leave but hated them when they were here. I can't remember one year our ST's was lights out..maybe in the 80's but we sucked so who cares. I liked the onside kick in the 95 SB was the only memory I have of our ST's coming up big.

Bobby April was our special teams coach when that onside kick was called in SBXXX.
Re: Bobby April to Eagles
Does this mean the Danny Smith (ST-Redskins) rumors heat up?
