Commanders Interviewing 49ers Coach Anthony Lynn
The Washington Commanders are interviewing another candidate for their vacant offensive coordinator position.
NFL Network is reporting that the Commanders are interviewing San Francisco 49ers assistant head coach Anthony Lynn today.
Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post was the first to report of the Commanders' interest and request for Lynn last week.
Lynn, 54, was a two-time Super Bowl champion as a backup running back for the Denver Broncos in the late 1990s and parlayed his success as a player in the league into a coaching career.
Lynn has primarily coached running backs in his 20+ year career as a coach, but is perhaps best known as the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers from 2017-20. He led the Chargers to a 33-31 record in four seasons at the helm, including a playoff victory in 2018 after a remarkable 12-4 campaign.
Since his departure from Los Angeles in 2020, Lynn became the offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions in 2021 and flocked over to the Bay Area to coach the Niners this past season. Given the 49ers' success in the run game this season and Washington's desire to run the football, Lynn could be a strong candidate to replace Scott Turner in running the offense in D.C. next season.
