Anthony Lynn Fights 'jacked Up' Criteria On Path To Head-coaching Job

... top-ranked rushing offense in 2015, Lynn has delivered results in that area again this season. Since Lynn replaced Greg Roman as coordinator, the Bills' offense has ranked first in the NFL in rushing yards per game (169) and yards per rush (5.6), sixth in third down conversion rate (43.1 percent) and fourth in red zone conversion rate (65.8 percent). On the flip side, teams considering Lynn will have trouble looking past the performance of the Bills' passing offense this season. The Bills rank 31 st in passing yards per game, 24 th in net yards per pass attempt (6.09) and 32 nd in sacks per pass attempt (11.7 percent) since Lynn took over. Working on the fly with Roman's playbook, Lynn has yet to correct some of the deficiencies in quarterback Tyrod Taylor 's game that might give the Bills pause about keeping Taylor as their starter next season. Veteran running ...

Doug Whaley Contradicts Anthony Lynn But Isn't Worried About Perception Of Bills

... head coach, didn't do much to dispel that idea. Less than a week after interim coach Anthony Lynn said he was not in the room when the decision was made to bench Tyrod Taylor, Whaley contradicted that very statement. "Terry and I talked," Whaley said. "We brought Anthony Lynn in, we discussed it with Anthony Lynn. He wasn't in on every conversation we had about Tyrod that day, but the final one was consulted with Anthony Lynn.". Said Lynn last Wednesday: "I don't know about that," Lynn said. "I wasn't in the meeting when that decision was made, so I don't know. That was not my decision, to not start Tyrod. "I can't speak for the owner, I can't speak for the GM. They have to speak for themselves.". Who made the decision isn't as important as the fact that Whaley essentially said Lynn didn't tell the truth. Whaley and ownership put Lynn in a difficult position to begin with by sending him out to face questions to which he didn't have ...

Anthony Lynn May Return To The Buffalo Bills Under Sean Mcdermott

... Should Lynn not get any of the open jobs remaining, he already stated that his main goal was to remain with the Bills. Having the support of the players and already knowing the offensive personnel, Mc Dermott could be tempted into keeping Lynn. Such a move would give him an early advantage as he tries to evaluate the team and find his footing. While the possibility remains that Anthony Lynn could get a head coaching job, his odds just became a whole lot longer in my opinion. Given his success in coaching this offense last season, why not give him another chance? Depending on Mc Dermott’s offensive knowledge, Lynn could be a lifeline for Mc Dermott during this first season. If he proves himself and Mc Dermott sees a better option, Lynn will get a head coaching job and the team will move on. It’s a win-win. If Lynn struggles, well, we gave it a shot. That said, I would expect Lynn to get this offense playing at a high level, something this ...

Latest News, Rumors, Speculation On Position

... Patricia. Patricia took over as the Patriots defensive coordinator in 2012. New England's defense has steadily improved since then, culminating with an impressive 2016 campaign. The unit ranked eighth in yards allowed (326.4 yards per game) and first in points allowed (15.6 points per game). The Chargers will likely face some competition for Patricia. Rapoport linked the Los Angeles Rams to the 42-year-old for their head coaching vacancy Jan. 2. In Joey Bosa (21), Denzel Perryman (24) and Jason Verrett (25), the Chargers have the young pieces necessary to build a great defense, so hiring a defensive coordinator makes sense for San Diego. One of the concerns around Patricia is whether he'll be another failed disciple of Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. The Belichick coaching tree has created few ...

Things To Know About Bills Coaching Candidate Anthony Lynn

... Ryan to the Bills in 2015, and he was promoted to offensive coordinator in Week Two after Greg Roman was fired. He served as the Bills' interim coach for the final game of the year after Ryan was fired. Lynn's teams have performed exceptionally well on the ground. His teams have boasted either a 1,000-yard rusher or at least 2,000 combined rushing yards in 13 of the last 14 seasons. That includes work with running backs like Fred Taylor, Julius Jones, Jamal Lewis, Shonn Greene and Le Sean Mc Coy. Pros: "Continuity" has been a Bills' buzzword lately, and promoting from within would certainly keep the Bills on the same page moving forward. The offense has done well under Lynn, players enjoy playing for him, and if the team feels it's on the verge of a playoff berth, hiring Lynn would say the Bills ...

Broncos May Want Anthony Lynn, But They May Not Get A Chance To Hire Him

... PM. One sure way to miss the playoffs for years is by making Lynn the head coach. casualmalexlfan says. Jan 1, 2017 12:58 PM. Agent talking his client up for leverage in negotiations. Nothing to see here. ashes 2 ashesfun 2 funky says. Jan 1, 2017 12:59 PM. He reminds me of Dan Campbell (Dolphins interim from last year) for some reason. I think the player would play hard for him in the beginning and by the end of next year, he’s out of a job. He is a short term fix to a long term problem. Going to Denver would be a more attractive option, but I think Wade Phillips would seek other options if he is not considered (for head coach). Granted Wade is an excellent coordinator, but as a coach, he was another one of those “players coach” types that deliver middling results. unclebluck says. Jan 1, 2017 1:20 PM.

Anthony Lynn Is The 'type Of Coach We Need

... Mon, Jan 2, 2017. Any comment a player makes about a coaching search should be taken with a grain of salt. Players are likely to support coaches they know, especially if there’s a chance they’ll have to work with the guy down the road. But the endorsement Le Sean Mc Coy gave Bills interim coach Anthony Lynn Monday during locker cleanout was about as strong as it could get. He even used the L word. “I like Coach Lynn, I really do,” Mc Coy said. “He makes everybody accountable. He’s that leader, that type of coach we need. A lot of players like playing for him, (including) myself. “When I first got here as a running back and I found out he’s my coach, dealing with him on a day-to-day basis, I fell in love with him. So I’m actually excited that he’s up for the job. And we’ll see. Hopefully he gets it.”. Lynn said after Sunday’s game that Buffalo is the No. 1 spot he’d like to be next season. But it seems like he might have some ...

Pegulas Expressed Remorse To Anthony Lynn About Tyrod Taylor Benching

... 716 says. Jan 8, 2017 1:48 PM. Let’s not compare Mrs. Pegula to Robert kraft who was prancing around with a stripper while his wife was dying and dead. Say what you want but she’s a hell of a lot more powerful than those of you making rude comments. Just because your moms stayed at home while dad beat her doesn’t give you the right to make nasty comments referencing her. This is wildly untrue. Stop lying. And people get to comment about it whether she’s powerful or not. Wait, is this Kim posting. tigerlilac says. Jan 8, 2017 4:39 PM. Everyone use to think that homes could only appreciate in value, the same as an NFL franchise. Then the you know what hit the fan. The NFL has some cracks in its unlimited growth in franchise value. Liability, guarantees, the fiscal crisis in municipalities, and young people lacking the fervent interest of older generations in the game. I am not saying the future is bleak for the NFL, I can’t even say values will stop increasing, just that it is no longer such a sure thing for owners and why they want Goodell to have complete control over players. whitewalkerinphilly says.

Chargers Reportedly Hiring Lynn, Patricia In Line To Stick With Patriots

... Chris Hogan and Michael Floyd were all full participants in Thursday's on-the-field work. Here's Thursday's practice participation/injury report for the Patriots and Texans. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS. Curran: San Diego just a casualty of Goodell, NFL's pursuit of $25 billion. By Tom E. Curran January 12, 2017 3:59 PM. The 2016 NFL season opened with the league’s most accomplished player in exile, the recipient of a four-game suspension that cost tens of millions for Roger Goodell to ultimately carry out. He got it done. But in the process, the deceitfulness, vindictiveness and hypocrisy unearthed did more damage to Goodell, the “Shield” and the owners that pay him than it did to Brady. And now, the 2016 season will conclude with a painful franchise relocation for the San Diego Chargers. Quite a legacy Roger’s carving out for himself, isn’t it. ESPN’s Seth Wickersham, wrote a piece Thursday about the Chargers move to Los Angeles. Wickersham recalled Chargers owner Dean Spanos standing to speak to a room of his fellow owners last month in Texas, Spanos explaining how bleak it was ...

Anthony Lynn San Diego Chargers Los Angeles Rams Gus Bradley Washington Redskins Sean Mcvay

... Lynn was a virtual lock to land the Buffalo Bills head coach job. The NFL coaching carousel spins up fast, however. (What’s happening as the Washington Redskins head to the offseason? Make sure you’re in the loop — Take five seconds to Sign up for our FREE Redskins Newsletter NOW !). The Bills hired Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Sean Mc Dermott  and the trickle down affected the Washington Redskins (among others), who were planning to interview Carolina secondary coach Steve Wilks. Wilks will now be the Panthers defensive coordinator. While the Bills hire closed the door to the Redskins on Wilks potentially landing as Washington’s defensive coordinator, it opened another door. If Lynn had landed the Bills job, it was widely reported that former Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley would be named his defensive ...
