history
1959–1969: Foundation and beginnings in the AFL
The San Diego Chargers were founded in 1959 as one of seven other teams. A year later, the American Football League (AFL) was formed, and the Chargers were involved in its creation. The Chargers' first owner was Barron Hilton , son of Conrad Hilton , founder of Hilton Hotels .
In 1960 Barron Hilton announced a competition to find a name, the first prize was a trip to Mexico . According to contemporary witnesses, Hilton was so impressed with Gerald Courtney's name idea, namely Chargers , that he no longer bothered with further suggestions. "Charge" was also the battle cry of the followers of the NCAA - college football teams of the University of Southern California , the Los Angeles Trojans . After the Chargers completed their first season in Los Angeles in 1960, the team moved to San Diego. Between 1961 and 1966, the team played its home games at Balboa Stadium in Balboa Park before the team moved to Qualcomm Stadium . The first years of the Chargers were mainly shaped by wide receiver Lance Alworth , who reached 543 receptions and 10,266 yards in his eleven-year professional career . He achieved at least one reception in 96 games in a row, which was a long-standing record in professional football.
Between the founding of the AFL in 1960 and the merger with the NFL ten years later, Sid Gillman , who was considered a pioneer of the modern offensive game in his time, was active as the Chargers' head coach . Gillman was later inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame . With players like Paul Lowe , Keith Lincoln , John Hadl and Alworth, the San Diego Chargers won their division five times in the first six years, including the AFL title in 1963 with a 50:10 win against the Boston Patriots . In August 1966, Hilton sold the Chargers to a company that was run by Eugene V. Klein and Sam Schulman . The following year the Games began with a preseason loss to the Detroit Lions . On September 29, 1969, the team defeated Super Bowl III winner New York Jets in front of a record crowd of 54,042 spectators with 34:27. In the same year Gillman had to vacate his position as head coach of the Chargers in favor of Charlie Waller due to illness . Until then, Waller was the offensive coach . Gillman later returned as general manager.
1970–1978: First years after the merger
In the course of the merger of the two American football leagues, the American Football League (AFL) and the National Football League (NFL), the San Diego Chargers were assigned to the " AFC West " division. Then the team faced difficult times: Gillman, who had returned to the Chargers as General Manager, resigned in 1971, as did a number of the players who had shaped the team's game in the 1960s; others had meanwhile been exchanged. Even the commitment of seasoned professionals such as Deacon Jones or Johnny Unitas could not avert the free fall of the team, especially since these players had already passed their zenith. Between 1970 and 1978, the team was either third or last in their division.
The 1978 season was marked by a scandalous game between the Oakland Raiders and the Chargers, which fans of the team refer to as " Holy Roller ". On September 10, 1978, the Chargers competed with the Raiders at Jack Murphy Stadium . Ten seconds before the end of the game, it was 20:14 for the Chargers when the Raiders quarterback Ken Stabler , who was threatened by a sack from linebacker Woodrow Love , fumble the ball towards the Chargers end zone . The Raiders running back Pete Banaszak failed to control the ball and brought it closer to the end zone. Also, tight end Dave Casper could not catch the ball, so he kicked it into the end zone and only there for a touchdown secured. After the extra point from Errol Man , the Raiders won the game 21:20. This game later introduced the rule that the only offense player allowed to carry a fumble forward is the player who originally lost it.
1979–1988: Fouts era and "Air Coryell"
A turning point for the Chargers was the 1979 season. Quarterback Dan Fouts set an interim NFL record with 300 yards of space in the passing game in four consecutive games. At the time, Don Coryell was the Chargers' head coach. “Air Coryell” was the name of his offense , which was worn by Dan Fouts, tight end Kellen Winslow and the two wide receivers John Jefferson and Charlie Joiner .
With a 35-0 win in the game against the New Orleans Saints , the Chargers were able to reach the play-offs for the first time in 14 years . On December 17, 1979, the team won 17: 7 against the Denver Broncos and was the first time since the merger of the two leagues AFL and NFL champions of the AFC West. In the first round of the play-offs, the Chargers were eliminated with 14:17 against the Houston Oilers . Halfway through the Pro Bowl , Ron Mix was awarded a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame as the team's second professional .
In 1980 the San Diego Chargers signed running back Chuck Muncie from the New Orleans Saints. Fouts set an internal club record with 444 yards in the 44: 7 win against the New York Giants . With a 26:17 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers , the team was able to achieve its second division title in a row, with a record of eleven wins and five losses. In the play-offs, the Buffalo Bills were beaten, but the team then lost the AFC Championship Game against the eventual Super Bowl winner Oakland Raiders .
In 1981, the Chargers achieved their third division title in a row with a record of ten wins and six lost games. John Jefferson was traded to the Green Bay Packers before the start of the season and replaced by Wes Chandler . Defensive end Fred Dean was handed over to the San Francisco 49ers due to internal contract conflicts . After all, it was Deans 'departure that broke the Chargers' Super Bowl ambitions. The play-off game against the Miami Dolphins went down with a final score of 41:38 in favor of the Chargers as the game with the most points scored in the play-offs as " The Epic in Miami " in NFL history. The Chargers lost the AFC Championship Game to the eventual Super Bowl loser Cincinnati Bengals 7:27. The game took place with an outside temperature of 9 degrees Celsius below zero and went down in NFL history as the " Freezer Bowl ". The NFL turned down the request from the Chargers' owner, Eugene Klein , to postpone the game.
Due to a players strike, the 1982 preseason was shortened. For the Chargers, the successes against the last two Super Bowl participants from San Francisco and Cincinnati were the sporting highlights of the regular season . San Diego reached the play-offs again, but was after a success against the Steelers in the first round , finished in the second round after losing to the Dolphins. Between 1983 and 1991 the team did not reach the play-offs. In 1984 Eugene Klein sold the Chargers to Alex Spanos . In preparation for the sale, Gary Johnson and Louie Kelcher were given to the San Francisco 49ers, where they met the two former Chargers players, Fred Dean and Billy Shields . After the 1988 season, Dan Fouts announced his retirement after 15 years as a professional.
1989–1995: Entry into the Super Bowl
In 1989 Dan Henning was hired as the Chargers' eighth head coach. During his career, Henning was a quarterback with the Chargers and later assistant coach with the Washington Redskins and head coach with the Atlanta Falcons . But even in his three-year tenure as coach of the Chargers, Henning could not record any success, so that he was replaced by Bobby Ross in 1992 . The Chargers received quarterback Stan Humphries through an exchange with the Washington Redskins . After losing four games at the beginning of the season, the team won eleven of the last twelve games of the season and could thus decide the AFC West for themselves. In the first play-off round, the San Diego Chargers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 17-0 and then eliminated against the Miami Dolphins . In 1993, the team finished fourth in their division with a record of eight wins and eight losses.
In 1994, the team made their only entry into the Super Bowl ( Super Bowl XXIX ). There they played against the San Francisco 49ers . The season started for the Chargers with a winning streak of six games. At the end of the regular season there were eleven wins and five losses. In the game against the Seattle Seahawks , quarterback Humphries and wide receiver Tony Martin set an NFL record in the 27:10 win for the Chargers with a 99-yard touchdown . In the play-offs, the team from Southern California just won against the Dolphins and the Pittsburgh Steelers . In the Super Bowl, the Chargers lost against the 49ers 26:49. The following season was sobering. It was only thanks to a winning streak in the last five games of the regular season that they made it into the play-offs. There they were defeated by the Indianapolis Colts at 20:35.
1996–2003: Another average year
The 1996 season was overshadowed by a tragic accident: running back Rodney Culver and his wife died in a plane crash in the Everglades . Culver was the second player to die while serving with the Chargers. Just eleven months before Culver's fatal accident, David Griggs was killed in a car accident. Beathard, who took over the post of athletic director in the 1990s from Steve Ortmayer , selected quarterback Ryan Leaf as the second player during the 1998 NFL Draft after the Indianapolis Colts had chosen Peyton Manning as the first player . A conflict between Beathard and Ross led to his dismissal as head coach in 1997. Kevin Gilbride , who previously coached the Jacksonville Jaguars , was introduced as the new coach. The 1998 season ended with a sobering ratio of five wins to eleven defeats.
Gilbride had to leave and was replaced by June Jones . However, he only stayed a year and moved to the University of Hawaii . Mike Riley of Oregon State University assumed the post of Head Coach for the Chargers. Leaf, which was drafted by the Chargers in 1998, left the Chargers after a few seasons. The reason for this was controversy between him, management, the press and his teammates. His draft was later dubbed the worst draft in pro football history. In 2000, quarterback Jim Harbaugh was signed by the Baltimore Ravens . Beathard resigned in April of the same year and was replaced in January 2001 by the former manager of the Buffalo Bills , John Butler . Between 1996 and 2003, the Chargers couldn't win more games than lose in any season. In 2003 they finished the season with four wins and twelve losses as the last. Even the interim commitments of running back LaDainian Tomlinson and quarterback Drew Brees could not stop the Chargers' decline. Butler succumbed to cancer in 2003 and AJ Smith took his position as the team's athletic manager.
2004–2009: Second conference final and play-off participation
In 2004, the Chargers selected Eli Manning in the NFL Draft, but swapped him for Philip Rivers , who was selected fourth by the New York Giants . Manning said of his agent that he didn't want to play for San Diego. At that time, Marty Schottenheimer was looking after the Chargers. After nine years the season could finally be concluded positively again. After the first six games, there were only three wins, but the team was able to win almost all of the remaining regular season games, so that in the end twelve games were won. The Chargers finished their division as leaders, but had to play in the wildcard play-offs due to the poorer results compared to the teams from the other conferences. There, San Diego lost to the New York Jets and thus missed the entry into the conference play-offs.
The following season, however, the team finished third in their division after poor performance and they missed the play-offs. Four of the first seven games were lost. A series of five wins in a row could not make up for the botched start to the season, especially since the last two games against the Kansas City Chiefs and the Denver Broncos were clearly lost. After an equally mixed preseason , in which two out of four games were lost, the Chargers were able to successfully finish four of the first six games in the 2006 season. After losing to the Baltimore Ravens and again against Kansas City, the San Diego Chargers won ten games in a row. Despite a ratio of 14 wins to two defeats, the team had to go to the wildcard play-offs. There the Chargers lost again, this time against the New England Patriots . Despite this excellent regular season, Schottenheimer was replaced by Norv Turner as coach. The 2007 season did not start well again. In the first four games, the team managed only one win against the Chicago Bears in the first week. After three losses to the Patriots, the Green Bay Packers and the Chiefs, they won three games. At the end of the regular season there were eleven wins to five defeats on the account, and San Diego again moved into the play-offs as division winners. There the team defeated the Tennessee Titans clearly. The play-off game against the Indianapolis Colts was won, making San Diego the first time since 1994 to be in a conference final. There, however, it was again the Patriots who ended the Chargers season. The second season under Turner was less successful in the regular season. Although the division finished first in front of the Denver Broncos, the Chargers had to play in the wildcard play-offs due to a ratio of eight wins and eight losses. There they won again against the Colts before the next round against the Pittsburgh Steelers was over.
In 2009 the play-offs could be reached again. In the first five games, the Chargers lost to the Baltimore Ravens, the Denver Broncos and the Pittsburgh Steelers. After that, the team won all games, so that the division won again. This time the Charger lost to the New York Jets in the play-offs . After ten years as running back for San Diego, LaDainian Tomlinson joined the New York Jets for the 2010 season. Tomlinson, who was active with the Chargers between 2000 and 2009, was the first Chargers player to run more than 2000 yards in one season. Only seven players before him did so in NFL history. He managed to be the first player in NFL history to run 1000 yards and catch 100 passes in one season .
2010–2012: End of the Norv Turner / AJ Smith era
The first season after the move from LaDainian Tomlinson was very mixed. Of the first seven games, five were lost. Of the remaining nine games, only two were lost, but the Chargers were only second in their division in 2010 and thus missed the play-offs for the first time since 2004. In 2011 the team started the season with four wins from their first five matches. This was followed by a series of six games that San Diego lost. At the end of the season, the Chargers had eight wins and eight losses. Again, the team finished second, behind the Denver Broncos , and again they missed the play-offs.
Also in the 2012 season , San Diego was only second in their division and again moved the Broncos into the play-offs. Of the first four games, San Diego won three, but then the team could only win one of the following eight games. By missing the play-offs for the third year in a row, coach Norv Turner and manager AJ Smith were sacked at the turn of the year. Controversy erupted on October 21, 2012 when a line judge discovered banned substances on the towels of Chargers players. The Chargers were threatened with a penalty or the loss of a draft right. On November 7, 2012, the league announced that the players had not used prohibited resources, but the club had to pay a fine of $ 20,000 .
2013–2016: Mike McCoy era
On January 9, 2013, the former vice president of the Indianapolis Colts , Tom Telesco , was introduced as the new manager of the San Diego Chargers. Six days later, Mike McCoy , the former offensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos , as the new head coach presented the team. During the draft, DJ Fluker , Manti Te'o and Keenan Allen were selected in the first three rounds.
Despite a balance of 9: 7 and a third place in the division, the team made it into the play-offs as the sixth best team . There the Cincinnati Bengals were defeated and the Chargers reached the Divisional Play-offs, where they were defeated by the Denver Broncos at 17:24 in the Sports Authority Field at Mile High .
During the 2014 NFL Draft , Jason Verrett , Jeremiah Attaochu and Chris Watt were selected in the first three rounds. In May 2014, the commitment of the running back Branden Oliver was announced, who was not chosen in the draft. Oliver got his first two touchdowns in the game against the New York Jets . San Diego lost their first game against the Arizona Cardinals by one point. This was followed by five games in a row against the Seattle Seahawks , the Buffalo Bills , the Jacksonville Jaguars , the New York Jets and the Oakland Raiders . Against Jacksonville and New York, the Chargers won with 33:14 and 31: 0 respectively. It was only in the sixth game that the team lost again to the Kansas City Chiefs , who were able to win in San Diego for the first time since 2007. In the 21:35 loss to the Denver Broncos , tight end Antonio Gates broke Lance Alworth's 45-year-old franchise record by surpassing his 9,584 yard gain. After another loss, this time against the Miami Dolphins , the Chargers were able to win three more games. The 34:33 success at the Baltimore Ravens on November 30, 2014 marked the first victory of a team from the west coast in Baltimore since 2009.
Since 2017: return to Los Angeles
On January 12, 2017, the Chargers announced that they were moving back to Los Angeles. There they played from 2017 to 2019 at the Dignity Health Sports Park . After the move from San Diego, the lack of support from home fans made itself felt in the 27,000-seat stadium, so that fans of the away teams were often in the majority. For the 2020 season , the franchise will move to the newly built SoFi Stadium , which the Chargers will use together with the Los Angeles Rams .
The 2018 season ended the Chargers with a balance of 12-4, which is the first time since 2014 they were in the play-offs. Since division rival Kansas City Chiefs had the same record and won the AFC West through the tiebreaker regulations, the Chargers had to compete in the play-offs despite the second-best record in their division in the Wild Card Round away from the Baltimore Ravens. Against the Ravens you could win with 23:17, before you failed in the Divisional Round at the later Super Bowl winner, the New England Patriots , with 28:41.
The owner of the Chargers Alex Spanos died on October 9, 2018 at the age of 95. In 1984 he had the franchise for 70 million US dollars bought. Having suffered from dementia for the past few years, his son Dean Spanos had been President of the Chargers for many years.
