The Buffalo Bills wasted no time in naming offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn as the interim head coach for Sunday’s meaningless finale against the New York Jets following the firing of Rex Ryan.
While Lynn’s rise through Buffalo’s coaching system has been nothing short of meteoric, his coaching experience goes much farther back than his time here with the Bills. Lynn becomes Buffalo’s ninth head coach in the 20 years since Hall of Famer Marv Levy retired.
Lynn was a running back during his NFL playing days, totaling 28 carries for 177 yards and zero touchdowns over parts of six seasons.
