LaDainian Tomlinson has questioned whether former Chargers offensive coordinator Cam Cameron intentionally tanked a playoff game so he could move on to a head coaching job in a jaw-dropping conspiracy theory.

Tomlinson, the Chargers’ longtime star running back who finished his Hall of Fame career with the Jets, made the claim on a recent episode of The Pivot podcast with ex-NFLers Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder and Fred Taylor, suggesting Cameron wanted to be done with his Chargers obligations to focus on getting a new job during a busy coaching cycle.

The Chargers, after going an NFL-best 14-2, lost to the Patriots at home in the 2006-07 divisional round after leading by 11 late in the first half and eight in the middle of the fourth quarter.

Tomlinson, who was the MVP that season, figured the team would want to give him the ball as much as possible to control possession with the lead, but he saw fewer touches in the second half.

After rushing 14 times for 79 yards and a touchdown and catching two passes for 64 yards in the first half, Tomlinson got nine carries for 44 yards and a touchdown in the second half of the 24-21 loss.

Cameron then left the Chargers to become the Dolphins head coach.

“So in my mind, did we just throw the game? For a head coaching job?” Tomlinson wondered on the podcast.

He asked Taylor what should be done if a team is up by 11 or up in the second half, indicating that a team should be calling running plays to pick up first downs and chew up clock.

“How do I not get the ball?” Tomlinson asked.

Dolphins fans likely have their own questions about Cameron, who went 1-15 in 2007 with Miami and was fired after just one season before becoming the Ravens offensive coordinator.

Crowder was on that 2007 team and called Cameron “terrible.”

“We’ve all had a chance to think about this stuff, process it, and the fact that someone gets it right after we lose — ‘Guys, I appreciate everything. You guys played hard for me. I’m gonna take this Miami job.’ What?” Tomlinson said.

That year was Tomlinson’s sixth in the league and the Chargers hadn’t won a playoff game during that span. Head coach Marty Schottenheimer was fired after the playoff loss.

The following year, under first-year head coach Norv Turner, Tomlinson and the Chargers won twice to reach the AFC Championship game before falling to the Patriots again.

Tomlinson, now 44, reached another AFC Championship game with the Jets three years later but never played in a Super Bowl.
