The San Diego Chargers can afford to retain head coach Mike McCoy for one more season.

The Los Angeles Chargers can't. They'll need a headline-grabber to win fans over if they swap cities -- and Chip Kelly is now suddenly available for them.

Kelly's fast-break offense wasn't really appreciated in Philadelphia. Los Angelinos, who once cheered for the "Showtime Lakers" and now cheer for the "Lob City" Clippers, would love it.

So would Philip Rivers, whose lightning-quick release would carve up tired defenses. The hire could also work wonders for first-round dud Melvin Gordon.

McCoy's offense was once effective, but it offers no sizzle if the Chargers relocate. He'd be a B-list coach in a city built for A-listers like Kelly.
