Forget the efforts by Dean Spanos to move the team to Los Angeles for a minute. In a span of two weeks, the Chargers have made more bad decisions than most of us have made in our entire lives. As if the decision to prevent safety Eric Weddle from traveling with the team to Denver to take on the Broncos on Sunday wasn't bad enough, KUSI is now reporting that Mike McCoy will stay on as head coach, despite his pitiful 4-12 record in 2015 and finishing last in the AFC West by three games.
