Chargers Reportedly Not Firing Anthony Lynn Despite Ugly Loss To Patriots

Anthony Lynn reportedly will remain head coach of the Chargers — for now.

Los Angeles will not fire its head coach, NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reported Monday afternoon, citing sources. The decision was made despite the Chargers’ all-around embarrassing performance Sunday against the New England Patriots.

However, the Chargers reportedly will evaluate the situation after the conclusion of the season.

Lynn, 51, took over as head coach of the Chargers before the 2017 season. While the well-respected coach has had decent moments and deserves credit for navigating the franchise’s relocation to Los Angeles, he nevertheless is 29-32 since taking the job. Los Angeles is 3-9 this season but is talented enough to be far better.

Will the Chargers allow Lynn to lead Justin Herbert’s development beyond this season? Your guess is as good as ours.
