SAN DIEGO (CBS 8/CNS) - The Chargers fired head coach Mike McCoy Sunday less than two hours after the team finished its National Football League season with a 37-27 home loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
McCoy finished 28-38 in four seasons as San Diego's head coach. The Chargers finished 5-11 this season, following a 4-12 mark last year. Their only playoff appearance under McCoy's leadership came his first season, when the team went 1-1 in the postseason.
"Mike McCoy is a man of high character, and we thank him for his dedication to the Chargers,'' the team's president of football operations, John Spanos, said in a statement released at about 5:30 p.
