Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn had his duties essentially usurped by head coach Dan Campbell a number of weeks back, and it was announced at the conclusion of this season that he would not be returning with the team.
And now, he’s reportedly landed a new job. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Lynn will be hired as Assistant Head Coach of the San Francisco 49ers:

Lynn’s offenses and backfields have produced as some of the highest rushing totals in the league over the past decade. He helped Tyrod Taylor field one of the league’s top 10 offenses jn Buffalo, and molded an offense in which Justin Herbert won rookie of the year.
