Maybe Lynn isn't off the market after all

This article implies it isn't a slam dunk this interim coach title is just a formality and the move away from the Ryans was to lock in Lynn...

His tone is interesting:

The Bills job is going to be the least desired in the league. The Pegulas have already made a name for themselves in league circles for being impatient, and when you have a head coach opt out of his contract to go take a lesser job somewhere else... Well, let's just say that is extremely telling.

As to what their plan is, I doubt even they know. I'd refuse to even interview for that job if I were a top coordinator.

That Bills job isn't great, but I'm pretty sure Marrone thought he was going to land a more prestigious head coaching job, not end up the Jags OL coach.

100% correct sir, Marrone overplayed his hand, that's for sure. Now I could see the Bills hiring Lynn for a multitude of reasons and bringing in a defensive coordinator to keep some continuity Mike Pettine back in Western, NY to coordinate the defense would ensure the transition could be seamless both offensively & defensively.

I think there was more to it than that. Kirwan had an interesting discussion on that topic the other day, too, when discussing the quick turnover there and how the perception was that whoever they hired next was gonna be the next coach to pack his bags quickly.

They'll get someone to do the job, since there's a limited number of them. But they're not going to attract the top guys because people around the league know it's a clown show. I'll bet Shanahan and McDaniels both won't even interview with them.

IMO they will settle for Lynn, and he will be lucky to last a year.
