"Chargers Shake-Up: Staley and Telesco Fired, Interim Coach Named"

The Los Angeles Chargers have fired general manager Tom Telesco and head coach Brandon Staley following a disappointing season with a 5-9 record. Giff Smith has been named interim head coach, while JoJo Wooden will serve as interim general manager. Telesco, who had been with the Chargers since 2013, oversaw three playoff appearances but never won an AFC West title. Staley, in his second season as head coach, struggled to establish a defensive identity and faced criticism for his aggressive fourth-down decisions. The Chargers' poor performance and a series of injuries to key players ultimately led to their dismissals.
