Itd be interesting if he even wants the job .. but I guess he is interviewing

If I was a somewhat young coach I wouldnt want the job.

A 1 year placeholder job that you will probably be fired from next year when RR is not retained ... on a team with probably the lowest ranked QB room in the league .. with an aging OL

QB2 for sure, I’d be ok with that.

That of course could be the other factor in this. If Ron and co actually want Jimmy G then they may see hiring Lynne as the way to get him to come here. I wasn't all that bothered about having Lynne as OC up until this point but this makes me think I want them to avoid him just on the off chance that Jimmy G follows

[SunnySide]

Perhaps the combo of Jimmy G + Lynn = bring some of that Kyle Shannahan scheme over with them

Im not going to get too bothered with whatever the team decides to do. Decent argument to trade up, decent argument to add a Jimmy G type, decent argument to roll with Sam

Whatever options they go .. we end up a game or two below .500 regardless

Ha!

Exactly

[Chief X_Phackter]

Lynn literally said (in 2016) that he wanted to play smart physical football; that he wants the offense to be explosive down the field...play a little bit faster and see if they can put a little pressure on the defense.

From that, where are we getting " conservative offense, run first approach, won't take deep shots " ?

Your probably right, I just dont want to saddle the next front office with cap hits and lack of picks from the get go because of QB chasing by the previous regime while not fixing obvious O line issues

Look at the teams hes coached... Where was the explosive Offense?

[Chief X_Phackter]

With the exception of the 2021 season when he was with Detroit, he's contributed to offenses in LA and SF, that were all top 10 in yards per game since 2017. I didn't watch every one of those team's games, but if they weren't explosive, they were at the very least - effective. They had the ability to move the ball and score points. That's all we need with this current defense.

This would be funny if it wasn't so true.

[sdskinsfan2001]

I'm fine with Lynn. They are taking their time with this process (not a bad thing). I'm ready for someone to have the job. I need to be able to start complaining about stuff that actually happened instead of hypotheticals.

Yeah the only thing I know of Lynn would be the chargers offense during his HC tenure of 2017 to 2020 .. he had an elder Phillip Rivers

2016 - Bills OC - led league in running 50.93% runs
2017 to 2020 - Chargers HC - pass oriented, bottom 10/15 in league in run %
2021 - Lions OC - ran ball 41.9%, 13th lowest or so

Was 2016 a Shady mcCoy bills year?

------------------

Best indication I could hope for is a guy who schemes to his talents and roster

Little worried that he only lasted 1 yr in Detroit. Careers been going backwards.

2020 - HC
2021 - OC
2022 - RB coach

----------------------



Wed be lucky to get someone decent imo

This is not a good job to take. Wrong place, wrong time.
