5 Current NFL Head Coaches Los Angeles Rams Should Consider Trading For

2. Mike McCoy

For a team that normally hires head coaches with experience, it was an interesting move to see the San Diego Chargers go with a younger head coach back in 2013 when they hired Mike McCoy. At first, it seemed like the right move as McCoy led the Chargers to the Divisional Round of the playoffs before falling to the Denver Broncos, but it’s all been downhill since then.

Last year, San Diego was one of the most frustrating teams in the NFL to follow as nine of their 12 losses ended up being by single digits, even if injuries on both sides of the football ended up being a major factor. Even this year, the Chargers have struggled to close out games as eight of their nine losses in 2016 have come by single digits as well.

It seems to be only a matter of time before San Diego decides to part ways with McCoy after missing out on the postseason for the third year in a row, but that doesn’t mean he won’t land a job elsewhere. If anything, teams will look at McCoy as a head coach that deserves some benefit of the doubt for having to deal with so many injuries over the last two seasons instead of looking at his inability to close out games in the fourth quarter.

Then again, McCoy does have a history of working with quarterbacks, which could benefit the development of Jared Goff as the rookie hopes for an improved offense for the Rams in 2017.
