Eric Henderson and D’Anton Lynn are on the same defensive coaching staff at USC. How are they expected to work together? Luca Evans of the Orange County Register asked former colleagues of both men from the 2017 Los Angeles Charger coaching staff.
“Anthony Lynn knew D’Anton and Henderson were more than coworkers, he said, when his son invited Henderson to his wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
“Still, it didn’t seem as though the young Lynn and Henderson were exactly the best of friends. They had separate, specific focuses on that staff: Henderson working on the defensive line under (Giff) Smith, Lynn working more closely with linebackers coach Richard Smith (now working under Bradley with the Colts) as a quality control assistant. They were more close colleagues, perhaps, with a deep respect.
“’You could just tell, there’s a natural connection and a natural trust between the two,’ Giff Smith said. ‘And you always felt like they would wind up on a staff together some way. I’m not claiming I would say I knew they were gonna be co-defensive coordinators together at USC, but I think we always thought they would be on a staff.’”
