    Anthony Lynn?

    The Bills offense wasn’t great but they did have a good running game, didn’t they?

    Not a sexy pick but I assume McVay knows what he’s doing.

    Anthony Lynn

    Anthony Lynn has worked under 5 Head Coaches:

    Mike Shanahan, Denver Broncos (2000-2002)
    Jack Del Rio, Jacksonville Jaguars (2003-2004)
    Bill Parcells, Dallas Cowboys (2005-2006)
    Romeo Crennel, Cleveland Browns (2007-2008)
    Rex Ryan, New York Jets (2009-2014), Buffalo Bills (2015-2016)

    As coach:

    Denver Broncos (2000–2002)
    (Special teams assistant)
    Jacksonville Jaguars (2003–2004)
    (Running backs coach)
    Dallas Cowboys (2005–2006)
    (Running backs coach)
    Cleveland Browns (2007–2008)
    (Running backs coach)
    New York Jets (2009–2014)
    (Running backs coach)
    Buffalo Bills (2015–2016)
    (Offensive coordinator/Running backs coach)
    Buffalo Bills (2016) (Interim head coach)

    Lynn likes to run the ball on offense, and keep the defense rested so they can “pound” the opposing team. He provides a strong running game and has exceptional run reads. Offensively, his approach spirals off the idea that the running game should open up opportunities for the passing game. He welcomes his players input and gives them a voice. By simplifying the playbook, Lynn aims to reduce the stress of his players so they can execute with precision. Anthony has coached some of the best running backs in the game and has been the common denominator in some of the greatest rushing offensives.

    NFL interest

    On December 30, 2015, the Miami Dolphins interviewed Lynn for their head coach position. He was the fourth head coaching candidate interviewed that week. Anthony Lynn also interviewed for the head coaching job with the Jets organization on January 6th of 2015, shortly after head coach Rex Ryan was terminated. Lynn knew the organization well, and was extremely well-respected. In January 2016, Lynn was a head coaching candidate for the San Francisco 49ers. He removed his name from consideration before a decision was made. Despite not taking a head coaching position in 2016, media insider Ian Rapoport listed Anthony Lynn as one of his candidates in a good position to become a head coach.

    Accomplishments

    In 2003 and 2004 with Coach Lynn on the roster, the Jaguars had one of the top four rushing seasons in team history, with Fred Taylor at 1,572 yards in 2003.
    Assisted Jamal Lewis in 2007-2008, who yielded back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons.
    From 2009 to 2013, with Lynn as running backs coach, the Jets running game produced an NFL-leading 137.0 yards per game.
    In 2013, Lynn help Chris Ivory establish a team-leading 833 yards on 182 carries.
    Top ranked running game for the Buffalo Bills in the 2015-2016 season.

    Wade Phillips will be in Ashburn tomorrow interviewing for the #Redskins DC vacany, per @carolmaloney4

    Drama will continue. Phillips’ son, Wes, was tight ends coach with Sean McVay in Washington. Could they be package deal in LA?

    Word is…Lynn is looking like a top candidate to take the HC gig in San Diego.

    Sorry Mods…put this in the McVay thread but then thought this was more appropriate.
