ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the San Francisco 49ers are hiring Anthony Lynn as Assistant Head Coach. Lynn became a household name in the NFL back in 2005 when he served as the Cowboys running backs coach alongside a coaching staff full of future NFL head coaches.
He’d later work under Rex Ryan with the Jets and serve as assistant head coach to Ryan with the Bills. Lynn was also the Chargers head coach from 2017 to 2020 before spending one year as the Lions offensive coordinator in 2021.
The 49ers fired their assistant head coach Jon Embree earlier this week.
