Lynn was the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers for four season (2017-20), and has served various roles with the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Denver Broncos.
Recently, Lynn admitted that he was impressed with the culture the 49ers have built in Santa Clara.

The 49ers are preparing to face the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday.
