Back in January, the Detroit Lions and offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn mutually agreed to part ways after just one season together. At the midway point of the 2021 season, head coach Dan Campbell took play-calling duties away from Lynn but kept the veteran coach on staff for the rest of the season.
Lynn has since found a job with the San Francisco 49ers as their assistant head coach/run game coordinator, while the Lions have replaced Lynn by promoting tight ends coach Ben Johnson to offensive coordinator.
Throughout the entire process, Lynn was credited with being a pro’s pro for handling a tough situation well.
