The former Los Angeles Chargers head coach was the San Francisco 49ers' assistant head coach and running backs coach for the past two seasons.
Lynn, 55, is the second former NFL head coach to join new Commanders coach Dan Quinn's staff. Kliff Kingsbury (Arizona Cardinals, 2019-22) is Washington's new offensive coordinator.
Lynn compiled a 33-31 record with the Chargers from 2017-20. He was the Detroit Lions' offensive coordinator in 2021 and has coached running backs with the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys and Jacksonville Jaguars.
Lynn played running back in the NFL for six seasons with the Denver Broncos (1993, 1997-99) and 49ers (1995-96), winning two Super Bowl championships.
The Commanders (4-13) finished 27th in the NFL in rushing last season with 93.6 yards per game.
