Los Angeles Chargers fire Anthony Lynn after four seasons as coach

Los Angeles Chargers coach Anthony Lynn has been fired after four seasons as head coach.

He signed a one-year extension in the offseason, but went 7-9 with the Chargers this season, losing seven games by one score.

He did make a valiant effort at the end of the season, as the Chargers finished the season winning their final four games. But it wasn't enough for owner Dean Spanos, who made the announcement Monday.

Lynn ends his four-year stint with the Chargers with a 33-31 regular-season record and a 1-1 postseason mark. Lynn led the Chargers to a 12-4 record and a wild-card playoff victory in 2018, but was unable to sustain that success, going 5-11 in 2019 and struggling again in 2020.
