San Diego Chargers hire Mike McCoy as their head coach

            Mike McCoy is staying in the AFC West but is switching teams. McCoy told the Denver Broncos this morning that he is leaving the Broncos after being the offensive coordinator since 2009 and will become the head coach for the San Diego Chargers.

            McCoy became a hot name around the league after changing the Broncos offense during the 2011 season to fit the style of play of former Bronco, Tim Tebow. Denver ranked second in the NFL in scoring this year with 30.1 points per game and ranked 4^th in total yards with 397 per game.

            McCoy will have a tough task ahead as the Chargers offense ranked 20^th in scoring and 31^st in yards per game. He will have to work with QB Philip Rivers who was sacked 49 times this season and committed 22 turnovers.
