Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell made it clear he wanted to add experienced voices to his staff. On Wednesday, he officially landed one at offensive coordinator, hiring former Los Angeles Chargers coach Anthony Lynn.
An agreement between the two sides had been reportedly reached last weekend.
Lynn, 52, spent the past four years with the Chargers, leading the team to a 33-31 record with a playoff appearance in 2018. He was let go after going 7-9 in 2020.
While with the Chargers, Lynn saw the transition from established quarterback Philip Rivers to rookie Justin Herbert, who had a historically productive rookie season in 2020.
