Defensive coordinator becomes fall guy for San Diego's struggles. Terry McCormick
Norv Turner is staying on. So is A.J. Smith.
So naturally someone had to be the fall guy for the San Diego Chargers' disappointing 8-8 season. That someone was defensive coordinator Greg Manusky, who was fired on Thursday, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.
Manusky spent just one year in San Diego replacing Ron Rivera, who became head coach of the Carolina Panthers.
According to the report, linebackers coach John Pagano is the favorite to be the new defensive coordinator.

Fall guy or not, he deserved to be fired for the play calling this year. He looked like the second coming of Ted Cottrell.
