YoloinOhio Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Anthony Lynn reflects on time in Buffalo, knew he wasn't going to get the job http://billswire.usatoday.com/2017/01/28/anthony-lynn-reflects-on-time-in-buffalo-knew-he-wasnt-going-to-get-the-job/ While reportedly being the favorite to land the Bills coaching job, Lynn wasnt surprised he didnt get hired due to the already slim odds the interim coach has, generally, in seizing the occupation I mean, when you think about it, how many times does the interim head coach really get the job? It doesnt happen very often. Lynn said. And when you fire the head coach, sometimes you just want a clean slate, and I kind of sensed that a little bit, and so I never really felt like that was my job.

I don't think he got the sense he truly had no shot. By all accounts the Pegulas liked him and he was near the top of their list. I think its more likely McD swept them all off their feet and left Lynn as the bridesmaid. If McD wasn't around, I think Lynn would've been the guy.

Doc Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 I don't think he ever had it either. Going from RB coach to OC to HC in the space of 4 months? Way too fast.
FireChan Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Respectfully disagree. While McD may have blown away ownership, I believe Lynn's senses were not imagined and spot on. That may be the first time in history. I'm gonna put you in my diary.
LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 I don't think he ever had it either. Going from RB coach to OC to HC in the space of 4 months? Way too fast. He still did it in 4 months, just with a different team. many consider him the best hire this year.
Doc Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 He still did it in 4 months, just with a different team. many consider him the best hire this year. Yep, they let someone else do it. And one person has called him the best hire. Likely because he inherits a franchise QB, keeps Whis, and added Bradley.
Boatdrinks Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 He still did it in 4 months, just with a different team. many consider him the best hire this year. It's idiotic to rank hires before they've actually done anything yet.
Marty McFly Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Respectfully disagree. While McD may have blown away ownership, I believe Lynn's senses were not imagined and spot on. This. The stench of the Rex Ryan character assassination was stuck to Lynn and Thurman. Lynn did a good job with the OC position so he made it out to LA as the HC. Any news on Thurman?
mead107 Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Thanks for moving on. Hope you do well on your new job.

Marty McFly Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) Yep, they let someone else do it. And one person has called him the best hire. Likely because he inherits a franchise QB, keeps Whis, and added Bradley. I imagine He's also gonna add elements from the running game they ran here, which would upgrade what the Chargers have now. Their division is the hardest in the league hands down. The Chargers are gonna need a few really good drafts if they ever hope to hop over Defensive Denver, Lucky Clutch Chiefs, and the Carr Ridin Raiders. Yep, they let someone else do it. And one person has called him the best hire. Likely because he inherits a franchise QB, keeps Whis, and added Bradley. He also has the hardest job in an uphill battle. A soft defense, bad O-Line and plays in the hardest division. 2 Good to Great defenses and one really good Offense. Edited January 28, 2017 by Marty McFly
NewEra Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 I don't think he ever had it either. Going from RB coach to OC to HC in the space of 4 months? Way too fast. We'll he did go from rb coach to HC in 4 months. So it wasn't too fast
Augie Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 But.......could Rex possibly be wrong about anything?
Playoff Bound Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 This. The stench of the Rex Ryan character assassination was stuck to Lynn and Thurman. Lynn did a good job with the OC position so he made it out to LA as the HC. Any news on Thurman? Not only by Bills fans but by at least some of the players. I also think he would have had that as added pressure to succeed. If the results were not there the perception would have been that he was one of Rex's guys. This way he starts fresh with a new team. No Rex baggage went with him to Los Angeles.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 If only he beat the Jets.I do think the way the Bills played in that game did influence the decision some.
PromoTheRobot Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 I do think the way the Bills played in that game did influence the decision some. I don't. I was kidding. ALynn's job that day was to lose for the draft pick. Mission accomplished. That loss was the difference between picking 10th or 15th. No franchise in their right mind would judge a coach on that game.
CardinalScotts Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 I don't think he ever had it either. Going from RB coach to OC to HC in the space of 4 months? Way too fast. not if your the right guy If only he beat the Jets. if he would have WITH EJ it would have raised some eyebrows for sure....but EJ was EJ and no chance
