The Seattle Seahawks are in the hunt for a new offensive coordinator after parting ways with Brian Schottenheimer after three seasons. The first interested candidate has now emerged.
“Former #Chargers coach Anthony Lynn has spoken with Pete Carroll about the #Seahawks offensive coordinator job, sources tell me and @RapSheet,” NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero tweeted Friday morning. “Lynn hasn’t decided what he wants to do in 2021, but he’d be among Seattle’s top choices.”
An NFL running back, Lynn had moved up the coaching ranks following his professional career. He most recently served as the Chargers’ head coach before he was let go after four seasons with the team. He finished his tenure in LA with a 33-31 record.
