[h=3]Names that could get trendy in a hurry[/h] Anthony Lynn, assistant head coach and running game coordinator, Buffalo Bills: Lynn has been ahead of the curve in terms of offensive creativity for a few years now and is getting the chance to see his ideas implemented in Buffalo. If the Bills' offense can take another step forward on the shoulders of quarterback Tyrod Taylor and running back LeSean McCoy, Lynn should find his name in the mix. Lynn previously interviewed for gigs in Miami, Jacksonville, San Francisco and more.
Sean McVay, offensive coordinator, Washington Redskins: McVay is getting a reputation for being more like Jon Gruden than his current boss -- Jon's brother, Jay. If he gets a head-coaching job next January, the 30-year-old would be roughly a year younger than Lane Kiffin was in 2007 when, at 31 years and eight months, the Raiders made him the youngest head coach in NFL history. Teams have become more open-minded about hiring older coaches of late, which means McVay might have to wait another year or two. However, if Kirk Cousins throws the air out of the football again this year, that ascension could speed up a bit.
Vance Joseph, defensive coordinator, Miami Dolphins: Joseph is a coach's coach and has energized the players down in Miami. With a star-studded lineup at his disposal, we could see Joseph's name elevate faster than anyone on the list.
Jim Bob Cooter, offensive coordinator, Detroit Lions: Cooter could end up being a buzzed-about name if Matthew Stafford enjoys a big season in Detroit. His influence on Jim Caldwell's offense has been significant thus far, and being attached to the Peyton Manning name and brand doesn't hurt. Cooter also has ties to Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase, who could end up developing quite the coaching tree of his own in Miami.
