The team announced McCoy's firing about an hour after the Chargers lost 37-27 to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. McCoy had said in a postgame news conference he hoped to be back next year. He won't get that chance. The game may have also marked the final game for the Chargers in San diego as most signs indicate the team will move to Los Angeles next season. McCoy was 27-37 in four seasons. John Spanos, the president of football operations, says in a statement that "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." ___ For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Business Insider's Cork Gaines contributed to this post.
