In January, the Chargers made sure that Mike McCoy would not be a lame duck coach by giving him a one-year extension to take him through the 2017 season. In the midst of a disappointing year, the coach confirmed that he has yet to receive another extension, as Tom Krasovic of U-T San Diego writes.
The Chargers are now 5-9 on the year and they’ll finish with their second straight losing season. In his four years at the helm, the Bolts are just 27-35. The Chargers made it to the AFC Divisional round under McCoy in 2013, but they have not returned to the playoffs since. In a “What have you done for me lately?” league, patience is wearing thin with McCoy. The Chargers are unwilling to commit to him beyond 2017 and it’s not necessarily guaranteed that he’ll keep his job this offseason, either.
Already, we have two coaching vacancies in the league. Both the Rams and Jaguars will be seeking new coaches in the New Year. The Chargers, in theory, could join that group.
Chargers need a whole new staff !!!
Chargers need a whole new staff as well as new ownership! I miss Alex !
Injuries have killed the team especially on offense. But even then chargers would be a winning team if they held on to all their leads they had in the fourth quarter. Tough situation for him.
Need to clean house as well as FIRE the training staff and Strength and Conditioning Coaches as well. They are the WORST in the NFL
Before you burn down the coaching staff answer one more question. Who are you going to get that is better? Team is likely moving…who wants to dive into that mess? Not a top-tier coach. Some first timer for sure but they are not going to be better than McCoy. All the injuries were not the fault of McCoy! The owner is not going to pay the market rate to get gruden or cowher…so we are stuck.
