Jared Goff says he has a “great relationship” with Anthony Lynn

When Lions head coach Dan Campbell took over offensive play-calling duties from offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn a couple of weeks ago, he said he did so because he wanted to talk directly to quarterback Jared Goff during games.

A report from Jason LaCanfora of CBS Sports said that Lynn also had trouble connecting with Goff before Campbell made the decision to take on a bigger role on offense, but both Campbell and Goff refuted that on Tuesday. Campbell said the relationship between the two men is “fine” and Goff had a similar response when asked about Lynn.

“I was just told about that,” Goff said, via Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. “I don’t know where that came from. We have a great relationship. Me and him talk daily. I don’t know where that came from.”

Lynn said he had no argument with Campbell making changes to the way the winless team conducts its business and there figure to be more changes coming as Campbell tries to find the right formula to move the team forward.

  1. the problem is not just with Lynn or Campbell communicating with Goff ….the rams got rid of Goff for multiple reasons…Goff is a lower 2 tier QB ..how could they expect anything else? I guess Goff is not on board with biting knee caps…

  2. As soon as Jared Goff comes to grips,with the fact,that he’s a high end serviceable backup QB that can give a team a win here or there in a pinch….the smoother and longer the rest of his career will be.

  3. I thought Lynn was a defensive coach before he was the HC of the Chargers? I always viewed this as a highly questionable hiring decision.

  4. This year and next is a wash for Detroit, the current regime knew that coming in. Quintricia absolutely mismanaged the roster/team so badly a multi year re-build was/is the only option. Goff is irrelevant at this point, he will be long gone before we see the fruits of a re-build three years from now.

    Goff may be long gone three seasons from now, but the Lions will still be paying him since they decided to redo his contract. Even a horrible Matt Patricia can win more games then Dan Campbell. The Lions have gone for it more on 4th down then any team in the NFL this season and they are still winless. In three years you’ll have a new coach and qb and then be saying give them a few years.

  6. So essentially, a former #1 overall draft pick is now a placeholder QB on the worst team in the league… and is failing in that role. Just wow. Not much more to say when you look at it that way.
