The blown leads, the game mismanagement and the losses finally caught up with Anthony Lynn as the Chargers fired their head coach Monday.
The move came a day after a 38-21 victory in Kansas City. The Chargers finished the season 7-9 and were 12-20 in Lynn’s final two years.
Owner Dean Spanos expressed his respect for Lynn in a statement released by the team.
But, the statement read in part, “as we all know, this is a results-driven business and, simply put, the results of the past two years have fallen short of expectations.”
Lynn, 52, was 33-31 (plus 1-1 in the playoffs) in four seasons with the Chargers, who gave him his first full-time head coaching job.
Among the names that figure to be attached to the Chargers job are three prominent offensive coordinators: Eric Bieniemy of the Chiefs, Josh McDaniels of the New England Patriots and Brian Daboll of the Buffalo Bills.
