The fate of coach Anthony Lynn will be decided in just a few days.
Despite winning the last three games, question still remains whether Los Angeles will elect to fire Lynn after the season finale against the Chiefs.
The question of his job security came up at Wednesday’s media availability.
“I am not concerned about that. I am concerned about Kansas City,” Lynn said.
Lynn added that he has not received indication if he will be back as the head coach in 2021 by the Spanos Family.
After going 9-7 and 12-4 in his first two season, the last two seasons have been a downward spiral for Lynn. L.A. finished 5-11 last season and are going to finish under .500 this year.
Injuries are a reason to blame for their underwhelming seasons, but Lynn’s own decisions have held the team back. Multiple poor game management decisions and questionable play calls have negatively impacted the Bolts.
The Chargers have blown a handful of leads and have had a copious amount of critical errors in vital situations in games.
Lynn has made it clear how he coaches games. I am a firm believer that it won’t be resolved, given how long it’s been going on for, even in their most recent victories.
If the upper management decides to keep him beyond this season, their reasoning could be despite the outcome of the season, Lynn was a part of the development of frontrunner Offensive Rookie of the Year, Justin Herbert, and changing coaches might hinder his rapid growth.
“Coach Lynn’s been awesome,” Herbert said. “Him and I, we’ve gotten really close over these past couple of months. He’s always out on the field and whether he’s helping the running backs, the offensive line, the quarterbacks — he’s been doing a great job of stepping into our meetings and telling us exactly what he wants and how he wants it done. He’s a leader and this team follows him and I really believe in him.”
