Head coach Mike McCoy has been fired by the San Diego Chargers after posting a 5-11 record in 2016, Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com reported Sunday.
"The decision to dismiss Mike was made in the best interests of our franchise," Chargers president of football operations John Spanos said in a statement. "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."
This was McCoy's fourth year with the organization, a tenure that started off with back-to-back winning seasons in 2013 and 2014.
