The Los Angeles Chargers have fired Anthony Lynn as head coach after four seasons.

Dean Spanos made the announcement Monday.

"This morning I informed Anthony Lynn that we have made the decision to part ways with him as our head coach. I'm not sure there is another person in this league more respected as a human being than Anthony, and I want to sincerely express my deepest gratitude for his leadership during a time of great change for our organization," Spanos said in a statement.

Lynn signed a one-year extension in the offseason, but went 7-9 with the Chargers this season
