Column: Chargers coach Anthony Lynn would’ve been good for San Diego

Too bad the same couldn’t have happened with Anthony Lynn.

This will sound hokey, but with Lynn among us, San Diego would be a better place.

Especially now, amid heated times, it helps to have a public figure who can and will connect with people across a broad spectrum, who will tell inconvenient truths to powerful folks without turning them off.

We can talk about Lynn’s football work another time. (He has win-loss records of 9-7, 12-4 and 5-11 with one playoff victory and no divisional titles.)

If this husband and father who grew up in Texas, carved out an NFL career as an undrafted running back and built his own construction firm before launching his coaching career isn’t the fair and sturdy person he seems to be, then it’s good he’s near Hollywood.
