This is about getting him on a staff with a younger coach and helping them with all things head coaches go through. 1 Quote

It does satisfy one of the two required interviews for the Rooney component. That's not debatable. But, depending on who the HC hire is, yes it's common for teams to hire at least one former HC to help a first timer out. Both can be true. Quote

Without the Rule, he wouldn’t have this networking opportunity that even if it doesn’t lead to a HC job right now, it could greatly benefit his career down the road. 1 Quote
Phils n Bills Posted January 21 Posted January 21 It feels like they’re gauging OC interest with this first batch of interviews Quote

Lynn’s strength though is as a running backs coach/ run game coordinator. Quote

This seems backwards to me, but I suppose hiring your HC first and then a GM would be considered backwards also Quote

since79 Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Since he worked on same level as Kubiak, interview serves three purposes: Rooney Rule Intel on Kubiak and his ability to lead and coach ( Since the wait is so long) To be on staff as adult in room and because he is a good run game coordinator. 1 Quote

Agree, I don’t think Rooney rule is a bad idea, but it probably should be tweaked so that the candidate has an actual shot. preparing for an interview to be a head coach is a lot of work, especially which is probably worse knowing you have no shot Quote

Lynn helped mcafferey have an amazing year in 23 and the niners should have won the Super Bowl. its all their guys. Kubiak helped out throw for 4000 yards, Lynn helped mcafferey rush for 1500 and score like 18 td’s or whatever it was. the bills are going to put that offense here with as many people from it that they can. lynn is a natural fit.

Kubiak and Lynn just worked together to help sf get to the Super Bowl two years ago. Lynn might just be the rb coach. also never discount that the bills have already talked to kubiak through back channels and they are now doing there due diligence on assistants. 13 minutes ago, IYKYK said: How do you know this? Do you have insider knowledge? Connecting the dots. If kubiak is their top candidate then pairing him with people he has already worked with to make his transition easier is perfect. now if they hire Daboll then yea I am completely wrong. Also we are dead In the water if Daboll is hired. Edited January 21 by MikePJ76 1 Quote

Not a terrible choice well at least for those like me that aren't "Football experts" like many here are .. Quote

TheFunPolice Posted January 21 Posted January 21 He was a finalist last time around when they hired McDermott. Notice he hasn't really been a serious HC candidate since. That was almost 10 years ago. Quote
