Looks like he moves every 3 or so years. Wonder what that's about.

April left the Steelers to join his hometown Saints (he's from the N.O. suburb of Chalmette)
He left the Saints in the housecleaning when Ditka was removed
He was fired from the Rams
He was at Buffalo for a while, during which time he won NFL Special Teams Coordinator of the Year. He left Buffalo as part of their housecleaning.

Bobby April has been around with many teams, I believe his longest tenure was with the Falcons. Another good special teams coach is available, Al Everest who has also been around the block. The 49ers just fired him.

Ok I'm confused. Everest is supposed to be good but he just got hired by San Fran in 2007 and now is getting fired? If he's so good why would they fire him?

Name me one ST coach who hasn't been fired? This guy has 36 years experience coaching and has always had pretty good special teams, he was with the Cardinals for many years.
