LOS ANGELES -- After 2½ seasons highlighted by lofty expectations and routine letdowns, the Los Angeles Chargers have fired coach Brandon Staley and general manager Tom Telesco, the team announced Friday.
Giff Smith, the team's outside linebackers coach, has been named interim head coach. JoJo Wooden, the Chargers director of player personnel, will step into the GM role on an interim basis.
Staley is the second Chargers head coach to be fired midseason since 1970, joining Kevin Gilbride, who was fired in 1998.
