The Chargers fired special teams coach Kevin Spencer on Wednesday.
The team announced the news in a brief statement. The Chargers’ special teams units have struggled all season and had a punt blocked in the fourth quarter of last week’s win in Jacksonville.
Spencer had been with the team since 2013. Craig Aukerman, who’d been the assistant special teams coach, takes over.
An early December firing on a Wednesday of an assistant coach isn’t something that happens often, but it’s been that kind of season for the Chargers.
