April, a veteran coordinator who was hired by first-year head coach Todd Bowles, saw his unit struggle mightily throughout the season, allowing key scores in several close games, including a game against the Philadelphia Eagles who got an 89-yard punt return for a touchdown from Darren Sproles in an Eagles 24-17 defeat.
