SAN DIEGO -- Coach Mike McCoy still doesnt have any real answers for why his San Diego Chargers keep blowing big leads late in games.He does know the answer to a question thats on the minds of a lot of angry fans.Asked Monday if he thought his job is in jeopardy, he said: No. Im coaching my tail off every day and Im the head coach.And the Chargers are 1-3, thanks to their latest pratfall.They blew a 13-point lead with just under seven minutes to go and lost 35-34 to the previously winless New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Fumbles by running back Melvin Gordon and wide receiver Travis Benjamin gave Drew Brees the opening to lead a comeback against his former team.The Chargers blew a 21-point, third-quarter lead at Kansas City on opening day and lost 33-27 in overtime. After routing Jacksonville in their home opener, they blew a late lead at Indianapolis and lost 26-22.Then came the meltdown against the Saints.The resulting fan discontent comes at a bad time. The Chargers, whose attempted move to Los Angeles was rebuffed by fellow NFL owners in January, are seeking a $1.1 billion public handout for a new downtown stadium via a ballot measure calling for an increase in the hotel occupancy tax. The Chargers have once again threatened to move to Los Angeles -- where they could join the Rams in a stadium slated to open in Inglewood in 2019 -- if the measure is rejected.Besides the fumbles, there were plenty of other errors by the Chargers, like Benjamin letting too many punts hit the ground and a sloppy three-and-out drive on the first possession of the second half that McCoy called a disaster.Theres 53 minutes of some good football and then unfortunately we turned the ball over twice there to give them a great opportunity to do what they did, McCoy said. Youre furious when you watch because you see all the positives, but then theres the blowups. We can put it on two plays, but thats not the only reason Theres a number of times during the games. Like I told the players, thats every week. Theres so many things we can do better.The Chargers have lost 15 of their last 20 games and are 24-30 overall under McCoy.Up next is a road game against the rival Oakland Raiders. The Chargers were swept in the AFC last season while going 4-12 overall. They have lost 10 of 11 road games dating to the last game of 2014.Also coming under fire from fans are general manager Tom Telesco and the president of football operations, John Spanos, who is the grandson of owner Alex Spanos.Asked if Telesco and Spanos are getting him the right players, McCoy said: Yesterday we had every opportunity to win the game. Weve got the players to go out and win. Weve got to do a better job not turning the ball over, not making certain mistakes that we made at critical times in certain games.---Follow Bernie Wilson on Twitter at http://twitter.com/berniewilson---AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLNike Blazer Mid Mens .

The group that Ive got, both players and staff, are a great bunch of blokes. We get along pretty well and the players Ive got, theyre young and theres a bit of potential there; were having fun.With the Wallabies having dropped six straight Test matches ahead of this weekends clash with the Springboks, the heat has come not only for coach Michael Cheika but so too the Australian Rugby Union and its overhaul grassroots plan.Former Wallabies back Brett Papworth was scathing in his recent appraisal of the games administrators while Fairfax Media this week reported on proposed changes to schoolboy rugby - though they look like having little effect on Sydneys GPS competition.As for the NRC, opinion seems to be split over whether its introduction was the right decision or if a move to semi-professionalism for the club competitions in Brisbane and Sydney may have been a better play.But the NRC did achieve a significant milestone last week when Reece Hodge completed a rapid 12-month transition from the North Harbour Rays to the Wallabies in just 12 months.I think if you look at individuals, it could be different.dddddddddddd..Reece Hodge, it was quite quick, I think it was only a couple of years; theres Rory Arnold whos in the Wallabies setup, Kefu said of the NRC pathway.But if you dont look to that [Test] extent; maybe just look to Super, weve got a young kid, young James Tuttle, he started NRC and then the next year he got a Reds contract. So it can happen quite quickly, but it just depends on the demands of the franchise and the level of the player.Back-to-back defeats to the All Blacks have left Australian rugby supporters wondering if theyll ever see the Bledisloe Cup again, such is the bottomless pit of talent pouring out of New Zealand.Australia will never be able to match the depth in talent of its trans-Tasman rival, but Kefu has seen enough in the NRC to suggest that player base can at least grow and he called on supporters to help raise the competitions profile.I think youve got to be patient, like I said it could be a couple of years or it could be five years, Kefu said.I think the public is still probably warming towards the NRC; the ARU is just trying to get the public more engaged and trying to get more of a connection between the fans and the NRC.In Brisbane, its probably not too much of a problem because weve got two iconic teams in terms of the (Queensland] Country team and the Brisbane [City] team. But I definitely think the Sydney teams could probably get more support. ' ' '
