Hall of Famer James Lofton was fired as the San Diego Chargers' wide receivers coach on Tuesday, a surprising move considering the way Chris Chambers and Vincent Jackson played down the stretch.The Chargers also fired running backs coach Matt Simon, who just finished his first year on the job. The moves came two days after the Chargers lost to the perfect New England Patriots in the AFC championship game.

No reason was given for this move except Lofton was told they wanted to "go in a different direction"

I don't see the Chargers going anywhere if they keep that revolving door they have for their coaching staff. The Charger recievers improved by leaps and bounds...lofton must have had something to do with it.

What the hell? You get to the AFC Championship and fire coaches? Stupid, stupid move - especially considering how dinged-up they were.

Simon was fired for stealing LT's heart and creating a coward. Lofton's firing is equally ridiculous.

Yeah, well, then you remember that this is the team that fired Marty and it starts to make sense (sort of)

Didn't this dude almost get the Raiders' Head Coaching job, now he aint good enough to be a receivers coach? That's weird

Yes it does. Apparently the Chargers front office hates winning.
