Former Chargers’ HC Anthony Lynn had OC options, but wanted to work with Lions’ HC Dan Campbell and DC Aaron Glenn, who played for the Cowboys at the time Lynn coached in Dallas. https://t.co/L0kgS8aPNV

Confirmed: The Detroit Lions are hiring former Chargers coach Anthony Lynn as their offensive coordinator. Dan Campbell has both his OC and DC in place, and gets an experienced coach on his staff

This is true. A big hire for Dan Campbell. https://t.co/t3ZelAlfSy

Seeing as how Matthew Stafford’s time with the team is over, I think it’s safe to say Campbell and Lynn have their work cut out for them going forward.
I honestly have no idea what to even expect with Lynn as the team’s OC.

We know he’s a solid coach, but who will our quarterback be? Are we going to trade for one? Are we drafting one?
Is Justin Fields or Zach Wilson an option? It’s kind of hard to speculate on what Lynn will do when we don’t even know who will be passing the ball for the Lions.

Hopefully, Campbell is able to give Lynn plenty of weapons to work with. If not, then it’ll just be another disappointing season in Detroit!
