The Los Angeles Chargers have given head coach Anthony Lynn a strong vote of confidence coming off a difficult 2019 season.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Chargers extended Lynn's deal in the past week that adds "multiple years" to his contract.

Prior to signing his extension, Lynn had just one year remaining on the initial four-year deal he signed with the Chargers.

Lynn had immediate success in Los Angeles upon being hired in January 2017. Even though the Chargers missed the playoffs in his first year, their nine wins matched their combined total from the previous two seasons under Mike McCoy.
