Anthony Lynn says he doesn’t allow himself to think about the what-ifs.
What if the Buffalo Bills hired Lynn, their former offensive coordinator/running backs coach who served a one-game stint as interim coach, to take over for Rex Ryan as the franchise’s newest coach?
What if the Bills brass didn’t do a 180 from the boisterous Ryan, who Lynn was closely connected to as a trusted assistant coach both in Buffalo and with the New York Jets?
While Lynn’s name was in the running to replace Ryan, Terry Pegula decided to instead hire Sean McDermott to become Buffalo’s next head coach, and Lynn landed on his feet as the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers.
