With that, offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt has been fired, thus ending his second tenure with the team in that role. He was able to turn the last stint into a head coaching position with the Tennessee Titans.

The Chargers were a big favorite in the AFC this year after the team went to the divisional round of the playoffs last season.
