Gophers assistant Bobby April III leaving for Buffalo Bills
Gophers assistant football coach Bobby April III will leave the U and return to the Buffalo Bills, according the NFL Network on Sunday night.
Minnesota hired April, the former Stanford defensive coordinator, to be their new rush ends coach after the Rate Bowl in late December, but April will quickly exit and become the Bills’ outside linebackers coach.
New Buffalo defensive coordinator Jim Leonard and April worked together with the Wisconsin Badgers. April was previously with the Bills in 2015-16, after time with the Eagles and Jets.
April was one of nine new assistant coaches announced by the U on Jan. 16, but Minnesota will need to immediately find his replacement.
