Wherever the Chargers play their home games next year, Mike McCoy will be coaching them.
According to Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune, Chargers officials told McCoy this morning he was safe for next season, though other changes to his staff were likely.
McCoy is entering the final year of his contract, and the combination of a 4-12 season and the team’s own uncertain location made his status reasonable to wonder about, especially considering General Manager Tom Telesco was given an extension.
But the newspaper reports “substantial changes are coming to the coaching staff,” which could happen as soon as today.
McCoy is 22-26 in three seasons, having gone 9-7 in each of his first two seasons. They made the playoffs and beat the Bengals in his rookie year.
