Lynn comes in with 83 games of playing experience under his belt, as well as two world championships on his résumé as a running back for the back-to-back Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos (XXXII and XXXIII).

18 HEAD COACH ANTHONY LYNN On Jan. 13, 217, the Los Angeles Chargers named Anthony Lynn the 16th head coach in franchise history and the first African-American head coach in team annals. Lynn joined the Chargers after spending the seasons as the assistant head coach and running backs coach for the Buffalo Bills. In his first season at the helm in Los Angeles Lynn rallied the team after an -4 start to win nine of the final 12 games, including six of the last seven contests. The Chargers finished 9-7 and just missed out on a playoff berth due to a tiebreaker. The nine wins over the 12-game span was the best mark since the team won the last 11 games of the 29 season. The five-straight home wins were also the best run on home turf since that 29 season. Lynn put his imprint on the team in year one. The Bolts turned the ball over just 15 times in 217 to rank tied for fourth in the NFL after a season in which they were dead last with 35 turnovers. The offensive line led the league in the least amount of sacks allowed with 18. The Chargers haven t led the league in the least amount of sacks allowed since in the AFL in A native of Celina, Texas, some 4 miles north of Dallas, Lynn was an All- Southwest Conference running back as a collegian at Texas Tech, where he rushed for 1,911 yards and 17 touchdowns on 481 carries. That helped him earn a ticket to the NFL where he signed with the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent in After being released by the Giants, Lynn signed with Denver in 1993 and appeared in 13 games for the Broncos. In 1994, he suffered a broken leg and spent the year on injured reserve. Lynn moved on to the Bay Area in 1995, spending two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers ( ) before concluding his career in Denver ( ) where he won back-to-back Super Bowl championships (XXXII and XXXIII) with the Broncos. Lynn hung up his cleats after the 99 season, having played in 83 career games. Lynn jumped right into the coaching ranks in 2, spending three seasons (2-2) with the Broncos as an offensive assistant and assistant to special teams. In 23, he landed his first full-time position gig as the running backs coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars (23-4). That was followed by similar positions with the Dallas Cowboys (25-6), Cleveland Browns (27-8), New York Jets (29-14) and Bills (215-16). Lynn carried the additional title of assistant head coach in New York in 214 and with the Bills for his two seasons there. Lynn spent the last two seasons (215-16) with the Bills, including the final 14 games of the 216 season as their offensive coordinator and the final game of the year as their interim head coach. The Bills led the NFL in both of Lynn s seasons in both rushing yards (2,63 in 216 and 2,432 in 215) and rushing touchdowns (29 in 216 and 19, tie in 215). The Bills also led the League in average yards per carry (5.3 in 216 and 4.8, tie in 215) in each of his two seasons in Upstate New York. More impressively, at his last two coaching stops (New York and Buffalo), his teams combined to rush for 18,218 yards during that span (29-16), the most combined yards in the NFL over that time period. The fact that Lynn is coaching today is a miracle in and of itself. Back in 25, early in Lynn s first season with the Cowboys, he was hit by a drunk driver while crossing a street. The impact was so violent that it s a miracle he survived. The accident happened as Lynn was leaving a restaurant following dinner with several Cowboys coaches. The impact threw him an estimated 4-5 feet and he landed on top of a parked Volkswagen. The force of the impact totaled the car. Pittsburgh Steelers Offensive Coordinator Todd Haley was with Lynn at the time. He narrowly avoided being hit himself and was the first to render aid to Lynn. The damage tally was extensive two collapsed lungs, three broken ribs, major facial and shoulder damage that required four surgeries and temporary paralysis yet despite it all, Lynn walked out of the hospital in less than two weeks. Lynn was raised in Texas by a single mom, Betty Jackson, a former all-state basketball player who had coaching aspirations herself. Lynn s maternal grandfather, Tommy Lynn, a farmer and former baseball catcher, helped raise Anthony. Mother and grandfather helped instill a tireless work ethic in Lynn at an early age. By 13, he was working 4-6 hour weeks doing construction in the summertime. He worked his way up the construction ladder and had become a foreman by the time he was in high school. One of his responsibilities was driving his crew to job sites for a company that built shopping malls and custom homes. It spurned an interest in interior design and Lynn initially studied interior fashion design in college. Lynn has since reconnected with his father, Donald Wilson, a Los Angeles native who once tried out for the Dodgers as a left-handed pitcher. Wilson now resides in Corona. Lynn is married to Stacey Bell Lynn. He has two children, son, D Anton, and daughter, Danielle. Stacey is a news anchor at WNBC in New York City. D Anton played football collegiately at Penn State and professionally with the New York Jets and the Canadian Football League s Hamilton Tiger-Cats and currently is the assistant defensive backs coach for the Houston Texans. Danielle studied at the University of Oklahoma and is currently in graduate school at the University of North Texas. In the spring of 218, Lynn completed his college degree after leaving school for the NFL 26 years ago. Despite being in his first year as a head coach, Lynn received his degree in interdisciplinary studies from UNLV. Anthony Lynn s Coaching Experience 2-2 Offensive Asst./Asst. to Spec.

His signings also include defensive tackle Brandon Mebane, wide receiver/punt returner Travis Benjamin and his latest being three-time Pro Bowl center Mike Pouncey in 218.

Polian left Buffalo for Carolina in 1994 and after Telesco graduated from John Carroll with a degree in business management in 1995, Polian hired him to work in the Panthers scouting department. In 1998, Telesco and Polian moved on to Indianapolis, where Telesco would spend his next 15 NFL seasons as a college scout, pro scout, director of pro scouting, director of player personnel and vice president of football operations. He worked in Indianapolis during Peyton Manning s entire career with the Colts and later part of the team that brought Andrew Luck to the Colts with the first pick of the 212 NFL Draft. Telesco also was involved in Colts drafts that featured four-time Pro Bowl running back Edgerrin James, five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Reggie Wayne, Dwight Freeney, a seven-time Pro Bowler as a Colt and two-time Pro Bowl selection and Defensive Player of the Year Bob Sanders. Telesco s tenure in Indianapolis was one of the most successful eras in Colts history. They played in two Super Bowls, including a victory over Chicago in Super Bowl XLI. From , the Colts won 154 regular-season games, eight division titles and they appeared in the playoffs 12 times. Indianapolis set an NFL record with 12 or more wins in seven consecutive seasons and they won an NFLrecord 23 straight regular-season games during the 28-9 seasons. Their 115 regular-season wins from 2-9 set an NFL record for wins in a decade. In 215 and this year in 218, Telesco was invited to be a speaker at the NFL s Career Development Symposium in Arizona.
