It might have been the Dan Henning era. The Chargers were very physical, but not a good team.

Show me a recent quote where Telesco/Lynn said they want Rivers to return next year. Their language purposefully avoided saying that and by so doing it was obvious he wasn't returning.
The little leaked story on how Rivers was apathetic about promoting the Chargers pretty much made it clear to me. Complete lack of class by this organization.
I don’t think it was a lack of class at all. We don’t know what was said and how Rivers wanted it handled. He moves awfully quick. Our season ended a couple weeks ago and everything was packed up and they were moving into a new giant house.
If I hear that Rivers wanted a press conference to say goodbye and was denied, I’ll agree it was a bad look by the FO.
But for all we know, they told him they weren’t re-signing him, they told him he could handle it however he wanted and they would support it, and he called all the shots for how the rest would unfold.
I’m not saying it happened this way. But I will say if that’s the deal, that’s hardly a lack of class. Nobody owed him an extension after this season.

That was the purposeful classless shit that the Spanos are about.

No, not whatever was said privately about their parting of ways; the classless part was the leak, about a month ago to an NFL reporter, on how Rivers angered Charger insiders by not sufficiently promoting the Chargers in L.A., and his continued commuting from the North County.
That was the purposeful classless shit that the Spanos are about.

There is a " very real chance" the Los Angeles Chargers and veteran quarterback Philip Rivers will part ways after the 2019 season, according to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports...
Another factor that could lead to Rivers and the Chargers separating is, per La Canfora, "Rivers' lack of interest in promoting the move to Los Angeles—he spends upwards of four hours a day in his car commuting back to San Diego—has not gone unnoticed, either, which some in the organization believe could be a critical element moving forward."
As one source told La Canfora, "He doesn't seem like he wants anything to do with L.A., at a time when the team is actually completing its relocation to L.A."
- one would assume the source is someone in the Charger organization instructed to approach La Canfora and give him this tidbit.
