Chargers hire former Cardinals special teams coach

Kevin Spencer will be hired as the San Diego Chargers' special teams coach, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

That would make Spencer the third former member of the Arizona Cardinals' 2012 coaching staff to be hired by new Chargers head coach Mike McCoy.

Ken Whisenhunt, fired as the Cardinals' head coach after the regular season, was hired as San Diego's new offensive coordinator, while Frank Reich also moved from Arizona to San Diego to serve as quarterbacks coach.
