New Washington Commanders coach Anthony Lynn explained his departure from the San Francisco 49ers to join the Commanders’ rebuilding project. Lynn emphasized his admiration for the leadership within the organization, particularly highlighting Dan Quinn, Adam Peters, and Jason Wright. Despite transitioning from a prominent role with the Super Bowl-contending 49ers to a more specialized position with the struggling Commanders, Lynn expressed confidence in the potential of the new partnership with Quinn and Lynn.
Quinn and I, both former NFL head coaches, share a longstanding friendship and a shared vision of coaching together. Lynn also praised the Commanders’ new general manager, Adam Peters, with whom he previously worked in San Francisco, expressing optimism about the collective talent and stability within the organization.
Lynn believes that despite the team’s recent struggles, they are not as far from success as some may perceive, citing strong leadership and stability within the organization as key factors. He views his decision to join the Commanders as an opportunity to contribute to something he believes will be significant. Looking ahead, Lynn and the coaching staff aim to build a roster that matches the caliber of the coaching staff, with a focus on identifying promising draft prospects in the upcoming NFL draft.
