D’Anton Lynn is very process-oriented at USC. He was process-oriented before he came to USC. This is part of who he is and what he does as a defensive coach.
We noted something UCLA football beat writer Ben Bolch pointed out about Lynn’s methods:
“UCLA safety Kenny Churchwell loved his approach and how Lynn prefers to ‘go slow’ and wants to make sure things are ‘perfect.’ For Churchwell, this was an opportunity to learn from a person who knows not only how the NFL operates, but also how to find success in today’s NFL. Unlike a lot of coaches, Lynn seems to be content to take his time and make sure players are grasping the concepts he is using. If they aren’t, (LA Times UCLA beat writer Ben) Bolch highlighted how Lynn does something that few coaches will allow due to ego.
“’That approach led to several days in spring practice when D’Anton backed off his intention to cover new concepts because he didn’t feel like players had grasped what he already taught. Listening closely wasn’t the issue given their teacher’s credentials,’ wrote Bolch.
