Chargers sign Bills interim HC Anthony Lynn to four-year deal

The Los Angeles Chargers are expected to announce that they have signed Buffalo Bills interim head coach Anthony Lynn to a four-year deal to coach the team, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported on Friday.

Lynn has brought a prolific rushing attack with him to each team he’s coached.  Most recently, from 2009-16 with the Jets and Bills, his teams have the most combined rushing yards over the seven-year span (18,218). This season, after rising from running backs coach to offensive coordinator and then interim head coach, Buffalo again led the NFL in rushing yards (2,630), yards per game (164.4) and yards per carry (5.3).

Lynn was promoted to interim head coach of the Bills before Week 17 of the 2016 season when the Bills relieved Rex and Rob Ryan of their duties. Rex Ryan was head coach of the team then.
