bostonmajet Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Wow - I didn't see that coming; thought that most would stay; can't really argue with any of that; with all of the problems ST had - I know that we didn't have depth, but he didn't adapt or anything?

TheMagicRat Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 We might wanna look at Dave Flipp the special teams coach from the Eagles. With Kelly out, the new coach could bring in a different staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsFanatic Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 If you recall last year when Bowles was putting together his staff, April was not his first choice. He wanted Keith Armstrong but the Falcons would not give permission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonmajet Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I like this; I know it isn't all April's fault - Quigley sucks; Folk gets hurt, but nothing changed over the year. He didn't try anything else. Westy said that Quigley had a better side to directionally kick too and he was constantly kicking in the other direction. Also, if you want the players to be accountable, the coaching staff has to show the same accountability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, knew they would address ST issues but this? So fast? Nope. makes sense so.

JetsFanatic Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Yessssssssssssss finally FYI Mike Westhoff is available I would love to have him back, but he has repeatedly said on TV that he is no longer interested in coaching Special Teams.

Jet in PA Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 We might wanna look at Dave Flipp the special teams coach from the Eagles. With Kelly out, the new coach could bring in a different staff. That is a great idea. Their special teams unit has been consistently good. Without them they don't beat the Pats and you can argue they don't beat us ether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsHex Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 It's nice to have a front office that actually realize where the team is weak in and actually do something about it. Special Teams has been horrible this year. I feel like old regimes would hang on to these coaches because they were friends or what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bostonmajet Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Awesome news, regime isn't messing around.

Charlie Brown Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Rich Cimini @RichCimini 41s41 seconds ago Bobby April is out as the Jets' special teams coach, team announced. Also out: Special teams asst Steve Hagen, asst OL coach Ron Heller. Now can we see that Bowles is nothing like the prior 3 coaches in this regard. Lack of production will not be rewarded!!!

UpstateJetsGuru Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 That is a great idea. Their special teams unit has been consistently good.

jetsjets Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Good move but next season we need to sacrifice a couple of spots for a KR and a PR. Jets like Versatile players, but we need guys that are good in this area. And please........ Tell me we can get a better Punter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet in PA Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Sproles helps too... Yeah that's a good point. They also excelled at blocking punts/kicks and recovering muffs and whatnot. That might speak more to the talents of their ST players though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Brown Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 In the grand scheme we missed the playoffs because of special teams...the fact that this regime reacted to that IMO is a great sign going forward . At least three games were lost by ST play and none were really won by the ST play. Just awful..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Going into the season you would have thought the NFL had eliminated kickoffs and punts with the personnel we had. Kerley and Stacy? Wasnt NFL calibre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section314 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Just shows again what having mostly horrible drafts from 2010-2014 can do to a team. Coach had to go, but our talent on specials really slipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetscrazey Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 best Jets news I've heard all week. special teams was the achillies heel of this team. Not one big punt or kick return all year, but they sure gave up some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
