Mike McCoy staying with San Diego Chargers after extending contract
Friday 8 January 2016 20:11, UK
San Diego Chargers head coach Mike McCoy has been given a one-year contract extension despite their 4-12 record this season.
McCoy was told earlier in the week that he would be continuing in his role into what was the last year of his deal, until Friday's announcement was made by general manager Tom Telesco.
The Chargers went 9-7 in McCoy's first two seasons in charge, but they lost all six of their games against the AFC West in 2015.
Since the regular season ended last Sunday, McCoy has fired six of his assistant coaches including offensive coordinator Frank Reich, and McCoy could take over play-calling responsibilities next season.
