Chargers keep head coach Mike McCoy; fire six coaches

The San Diego Union-Tribune reports the Chargers have discussed coach Mike McCoy calling the offensive plays in 2016. Tom Telesco, Mike McCoy, and I have already begun evaluating every aspect of the team to take the essential steps to put a winning product back on the field.

The announcement came one day after the Chargers completed the 2015 season with a win-loss record of 4-12, finishing in last place in the AFC West by three games. If you could clone any player on the team when it comes to heart and effort, Woodhead would be a solid first choice.

Charger Head Coach Mike McCoy speaks to the media during the team’s 2015 minicamp. National Football League owners are expected to decide next week whether the Chargers, Oakland Raiders or St. Louis Rams, or a combination, will be allowed to move to the L.A. area.

On Monday night, team chairman Dean Spanos filed for relocation to Carson, an industrial suburb of Los Angeles. I firmly believe the decisions made today and moving forward will get us back on track in 2016. The team has been at odds with City Hall since 2000, when Alex Spanos said the Chargers needed a new stadium.

He’ll be on the hot seat if the Chargers start slow next year.

With a bevy of formidable head coaches available both from the college and pro ranks, the Chargers should have plenty of options to lure a strong head coach to sunny Southern California. It was his first poor campaign as a coach, and injuries were definitely a factor in the team’s struggles. But after rushing for 4,915 yards and 45 career touchdowns, including 2,587 yards and 29 scores previous year, Gordon failed to find the end zone before having his season end with a knee injury.
