He was a really good man. He was a neighbor of mine at one time. A fun guy to talk to.
RIP Lynn

He was also a pretty solid LSU assistant coach for several years.

I still remember the Auburn game… he was offensive coordinator… kept calling for passes across the middle … don’t remember who the qb was … but he threw 3-4 pick 6’s and LSU lost that game. Thought he was over his head coaching

Omg, was that the fn Jamie Howard game?

Jamie Howard and all we had to do was run 3 times and punt. Our defense wasn’t giving an inch.

I know it’s unfair but that’s how I will remember him- terrible OC in the Hallman years.

I remember Lynn completing several big passes to TE Billy Truax in the Cotton Bowl win.
RIP Tiger.
RIP Tiger.
