ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- With Dan Campbell in his first go-round as a full-time head coach, the Detroit Lions wanted some assistants who could offer insight and acumen to their new on-field leader.
And in offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn, the Lions believe they found that. The 52-year-old has been around the league, with time in Denver, Jacksonville, Dallas, Cleveland, New York (Jets), Buffalo, and for the past four seasons, in Los Angeles as the head coach of the Chargers.
He has handled running backs, worked with special teams, been an assistant head coach, and for one season with the Bills, he coordinated an offense.
