I doubt it - the extension was only one year. I think they are wanting to see how the team finishes the season before deciding. If we win out, that could sway them towards keeping Lynn. IMO, that is absurd watching this guy make these unforgivable mistakes in game management after almost 4 years on the job. He isn't getting better, he is getting worse (or as others mentioned, Rivers may have hidden a lot of these dumb mistakes).
Every day Lynn is in the building is one more day he can help keep his job.
He is getting worse and hopefully the right decision is made by seasons end.

From the twitter desk of Ian "RapSheet" Rapoport:
The #Lions plan to interview GM candidate Louis Riddick for their vacant job on Friday, source said. The current broadcaster last worked in the NFL in 2013 in the #Eagles front office. The first known external candidate to be interviewed by Detroit.
From the Twitter desks of Adam Shefter and Chris Mortenson:
ESPN MondayNight Football analyst Louis Riddick is interviewing today for the Houston Texans’ general manager job, sources tell
@AdamSchefter
and me. Riddick then will interview Friday with the Lions.
I doubt the Spanii would want somebody like Riddick as you can tell he would tell the truth that they wouldn't want to hear, But this guy would be excellent in my opinion if a team is looking for a GM. Riddick and Saleh in Detroit. Riddick and Bieniemy in Houston (Riddick loves the Ferrari in KC< probably would like to take that to Houston)
See if you fire people now - you can start talking to people not employed by NFL teams now. Rick Smith, Jerry Reese, Louis Riddick for the Front office. If that is the route you take
Personally - I think of GM and HC as equals so its not abou the GM hiring his guy - its about the organization hiring each position so they work well together.

Again, If I'm Elway, I am making a speculative offer, to the Jets front office for their former QB1, of a 1st Round draft pick this year, in exchange for the rights to Sam Darnold. It is a calculated risk but I absolutely make that bet. Buying another man's trash, when the opportunity is ripe, would make me an opportunist.
BTW, Jets are taking Trevor Lawerence as their new QB-1. No offer Denver could make will change that.

My concern is the Chargers win at least one if not two more and they feel like Lynn "righted the ship" after the debacle against the Patriots that shows he is the right leader to weather the storm and pull the team back. Almost like they need "any" reason at all to keep him.

Glad you finally woke up.

Telesco even if he wants to fire Lyn now i bet he is overriden. Must be tough to be a GM of this franchise when you cant make all the football choices yourself.

I am sure Telesco is hampered by Dean and JohnBoy

Many tried to tell you this last year, but you kept insisting Rivers was the problem.

The risk-reward ratio is favorable.

Buffalo Bills sign GM to extension
The Bills will prevent Brandon Beane from going into a contract year. Beane signed an extension Thursday to stay in Buffalo long-term.
Considering where the franchise is now compared to where it was prior to Beane following Sean McDermott to Buffalo, this is not exactly surprising. But the first-time GM’s five-year contract was set to expire after the 2021 season. He is now locked up beyond next year.
This move comes four months after McDermott’s re-up. McDermott is signed through the 2025 campaign. It would make sense if Beane’s contract runs through the ’25 season as well. Beane and McDermott have the Bills poised to make the playoffs for the third time in four seasons — something that has not happened since the late 1990s — and the team has the inside track on winning its first division title since 1995.
