On the heels of Thursday night's 63-21 blowout loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, the Los Angeles Chargers have fired head coach Brandon Staley and general manager manager Tom Telesco, the team announced on Friday.
The Chargers (5-9) have fired only one head coach midseason in franchise history, when they severed ties with Kevin Gilbride in 1998.
The 42-point loss was the Chargers' third-worst defeat in franchise history, and their 42-0 deficit at halftime was the most lopsided half in the NFL since 2014. But Staley pointed to those struggles as the challenges of playing in the NFL.
