Anthony Lynn
Head coach of: Los Angeles Chargers
Play calling years: 2016 (Buffalo)
NFL experience: 21 (28 with playing experience)
Lynn meets the criteria across the board thanks to serving in an assistant head coach/offensive coordinator role during his time with the Buffalo Bills in 2016. Lynn has served plenty of time as a head man with his time in the Los Angeles Chargers organization — and the appeal for Lynn is that he doesn’t appear to be a hot commodity to step into another head coaching role in the near future. The struggles of his teams in close games and in game management will likely prevent a hot market to return as a head coach, but Lynn could rehab is reputation as a play caller in Miami. Most appealing here? His success with rookie quarterback Justin Herbert in 2020.
