I lost the notes from the Carolina game and I am now in the offseason. So I wasn't able to go back. Two more games this season and lots of updates coming before the offseason. Thanks!

Chargers Hire Terry McDonough as President of Football Operations
The Chargers organization wasted no time in hiring a replacement for former President John Spanos. John, the oldest son of team President Dean Spanos, was relieved of his duties and is expected to stay in the organization on the business end.

Before the final game of the season, the team announced Terry McDonough, the Cardinals Vice President of Player Personnel, as the new President of Football Operations. McDonough has spent close to 30 years in the NFL, mostly on the scouting side.

As a member of the Cardinals organization, McDonough became a top name for many open front office and General Manager positions in the NFL. He has worked alongside GM Steve Keim in building the Cardinals through the draft. McDonough has spent the last two seasons in his role as Vice President, after being a Regional Scout with the organization.

His journey to the Chargers started as an intern with the 49ers organization in 1989. From there, McDonough became a scout and personnel director for the Barcelona Dragons in the World League.

The Boston native continued to fight through the ranks of the NFL, making a reputation as a tireless worker and top talent evaluator. He was a member of the Cleveland Browns and followed the team to Baltimore when the franchise moved in 1996.

McDonough's tenure with the Ravens included the team winning Super Bowl XXXV in 2000. From Baltimore, he was hired and promoted to Director of Player Personnel for the Jacksonville Jaguars. In that role, McDonough scouted the top collegiate players throughout the nation as well as the top free agent prospects each year.

In 2013, he was hired by the Cardinals back on the scouting side. His role increased with his promotion to Vice President and now includes assisting with pro personnel and contract negotiation.

McDonough's role with the Chargers will be similar, but he will now oversee the entire football operations department. That includes working with the General Manager and being the lead on pro personnel decisions and contract negotiation.

Coming from a sports family, he is the son of the late Will McDonough, the long-time sports reporter and columnist for The Boston Globe who also worked at CBS Sports and NBC Sports.

He is also the brother of Phoenix Suns general manager, Ryan McDonough, and his other brother Sean McDonough, is the play-by-play voice of ESPN’s Monday Night Football and was previously on air with CBS Sports and was the television voice of the Boston Red Sox.

McDonough and his wife, Lynette have three children, daughter, Caroline, and sons, Patrick and Brendan.
