The San Diego Chargers have found a scapegoat for their 8-8, non-playoff season, firing first-year defensive coordinator Greg Manusky, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. San Diego ranked 16th in total defense, 20th against the run, 13th against the pass and created 21 takeaways in the first season under Manusky, who re-joined the Chargers after the spending the previous four seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. Manusky was hired to replace Ron Rivera, who left to become the Carolina Panthers head coach. Under Rivera, the Chargers ranked 1st in total defense, including 4th against the run and 1st against the pass. The next coordinator will be the fourth under head coach Norv Turner, though both Rivera and Wade Phillips left to become NFL head coaches.
