Chargers coach Mike McCoy reportedly coaching for his job over next two weeks

McCoy needs wins against the Raiders and Broncos

Things have gone poorly for the Chargers this season. They are the only team in the NFL to cough up a 13-point or larger fourth-quarter lead, and they've managed to do it twice this year. The rest of the NFL is 25-0 in such situations.

San Diego is 1-3 and has led in the fourth quarter of all its losses. It's bad news for Mike McCoy, who wasn't secure before the season and now, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, is coaching for his job.

Rapoport says the next two weeks are particularly imperative for McCoy, with divisional matchups against the Raiders (road) and Broncos (home) looming large. If these two weeks go "poorly" then "hard decisions could be made quickly."

There's nothing new or surprising about coaches potentially being fired in the middle of the season. This is especially true for a team with high expectations like the Chargers who have fallen on tougher times thanks to an inability to maintain a lead down the stretch of multiple games.

It's not all McCoy's fault. This particular Chargers team has been devastated by injuries. Keenan Allen suffered an ACL tear in the first week of the season and then Danny Woodhead went down with a torn ACL in the second week.

Top corner Jason Verrett, who was turning into one of the best defensive backs in the game, was just lost for the season. First-round pick Joey Bosa has yet to play a snap. Philip Rivers can't catch a break and so far this season, neither can McCoy.

Unless his luck turns, or unless he's able to turn his own luck he could quickly find himself unemployed. It's not fair, but that's kind of how things work in the NFL.
