Chargers fire Mike McCoy after four seasons at helm

After finishing dead last in the AFC West two years in a row, the Chargers are parting ways with head coach Mike McCoy.

The team confirmed the move on Sunday following San Diego's 37-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

"Mike McCoy is a man of high character, and we thank him for his dedication to the Chargers," president of football operations John Spanos said in a statement. "The decision to dismiss Mike was made in the best interests of our franchise. Our team's disappointing performance has not matched this team's potential and has fallen short of the demanding standards that we seek to impose throughout our organization.
