April 2021 - Detroit Lions Wiretap
Anthony Lynn planned to take a year off after he was fired by the Los Angeles Chargers after the 2020 season.
However, his plans changed when Dan Campbell called him about joining his staff with the Detroit Lions.
Campbell and Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn played for the Dallas Cowboys when Lynn was the team's running backs coach.
"I got to know those two very well. They handled themselves like coaches as players. And so because coach [Bill] Walsh kind of picked me out and sat me aside and talked to me about coaching and it worked, I try to do the same thing with current players," Lynn said. "I just helped plant that seed -- when you're done playing, that's something I think you should do. And I did that with Dan and Aaron Glenn.
"And I was actually going to sit this year out, but when they called, I had to go because I wanted to be a part of that. I knew it was going to be special."
