– 🏈 Former Jets coach Anthony Lynn is eyeing a big comeback, as he’s scheduled for a head coaching interview with the Buffalo Bills this week.
– 🔥 The interview is set for Saturday, January 24, after Lynn was a 2017 Bills finalist. With the previous head coach fired, he’s getting another shot to land the gig.
– 🧭 Lynn’s Bills ties run deep: he played a role in Buffalo in 2015-2016 as assistant head coach and RB coach, and he’s now the Washington Commanders’ run game coordinator and RB coach (since 2024).
– 🏁 Coaching pedigree: Lynn was an undrafted RB in 1992, earned two Super Bowl rings with the Broncos, and has spent 25 years coaching in the NFL. He led the Chargers as head coach for four seasons (33-31 overall), including a standout 12-4 season in 2018. He also served as interim Bills head coach for one game in 2016.
– ⏳ Old names, new chances: the coaching cycle is bringing back familiar faces. Rex Ryan has been floated for the Giants’ DC job, and Lynn’s Bills interview fits the trend of veteran coaches resurfacing. Another former Rex assistant, Jim O’Neil, is in the Jets’ DC mix.
– 📊 Takeaway: Lynn’s mix of NFL playmaking experience, prior Bills familiarity, and a history of success could make him a compelling option for Buffalo as they continue their head coaching search.
