The Los Angeles Chargers have just announced that their new head coach, replacing the previously fired Brandon Staley, will be newly heralded FBS National Champion, Jim Harbaugh.
This deal was not exactly straight out of the blue, with multiple reports over the past 24 hours giving heavy indication that at the end of the day, Harbaugh, the younger, would be a Charger.
The Los Angeles Chargers Have Their Man
Despite reports suggesting that Jim Harbaugh was entertaining offers from other franchises, it seems like the Chargers was always his first choice.
Now it seems as if the Chargers have a fairly clear, unified response to Harbaugh’s appointment:
Firstly, it seems that the social media account was fairly fired up about the announcement.

Justin Herbert Finally Has His Mentor
Much of the fan outpour has been directed to the future Justin Herbert/Jim Harbaugh pairing. Whilst it did take Harbaugh a few years to get his QB at the college level, many remember the former San Francisco 49ers coach’s impressive work with Colin Kaepernick and Alex Smith en route to making 3 consecutive NFC Championship games, including one Super Bowl appearance.

Especially considering recent reports that corroborate how much Harbaugh thinks about the young superstar quarterback, although, realistically, Jim Harbaugh would have clearly been a fan to be so tied from the outset to the Chargers job.
