Jim Harbaugh Los Angeles Chargers head coach officially

The Los Angeles Chargers are in desperate need of a change. After years of mediocrity and underachievement, it is time for the organization to make a bold move that will reinvigorate the team and its fan base. The answer lies in hiring Jim Harbaugh as the new head coach.

Harbaugh has a proven track record of success in the NFL. During his tenure with the San Francisco 49ers, he led the team to three consecutive NFC Championship games and one Super Bowl appearance. His ability to motivate players and get the best out of them is unparalleled.

Chargers during the 1999 and 2000 seasons, Harbaugh spent the past nine years at his alma mater as head football coach for the University of Michigan. Harbaugh rejoins the Chargers after having led Michigan to three consecutive Big Ten Championships, three straight appearances in the College Football Playoff and a perfect 15-0 record this past season that saw the Wolverines crowned 2023 National Champions.

Harbaugh’s final season with Michigan was not without drama — he was suspended for fully half of the regular season in two separate investigations.

The Big 10 conference suspended him for the last three games of the regular season after he was caught in the middle of a sign stealing scandal. He had already sat out the first three games after he accepted the university’s decision to suspend him over accusations that he made false statements to NCAA investigators who were looking into alleged recruiting violations during the coronavirus pandemic.

"Jim Harbaugh is football personified, and I can think of no one better to lead the Chargers forward," owner Dean Spanos said in a statement. "The son of a coach, brother of a coach and father of a coach who himself was coached by names like Schembechler and Ditka, for the past two decades Jim has led hundreds of men to success everywhere he's been -- as their coach. And today, Jim Harbaugh returns to the Chargers, this time as our coach. Who has it better than us?"

Spanos cited the rallying cry that Harbaugh leaned on during this season at Michigan, when he would yell, "Who's got it better than us?" to players. It's a phrase he got from his father, Jack, as a reminder to be grateful.

Nine GM candidates have interviewed, including interim GM JoJo Wooden.
