Chargers fire head coach Brandon Staley, GM Tom Telesco after 42-point loss to Raiders

The Brandon Staley coaching regime has ended in Los Angeles.

After being thoroughly outplayed by the Las Vegas Raiders in a 63-21 loss Thursday, the Los Angeles Charges have fired their head coach, as well as general manager Tom Telesco, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Staley was 24-25 overall and Los Angeles made one playoff appearance while he was at the helm.

Even with a franchise quarterback in Justin Herbert and a coach who came in known for his defensive acumen, the Chargers are 5-9. Thursday's loss wasn't the sole reason for Staley's dismissal, but it demonstrated just how much of a mess his team has become.
