After a disappointing run last season, Jim Harbaugh is now the new coach of the Los Angeles Chargers. And while there’s a lot of potential from this move, there’s still a lot of work to be done for the team.
The Chargers ended 2023 with little hope of making the playoffs. Thanks to a horrible 5-12 record, the team sunk down to a fourth-place finish in the AFC West division. Add the fact that Brandon Staley was let go from his head coaching gig last December, and there’s certainly a lot of improvement that needs to take place.
But perhaps the nail in the coffin for the Chargers was when Justin Herbert broke his index finger in a match against the Denver Broncos in Week 14. This effectively ended his season and placed the team in limbo.
Nevertheless, Harbaugh’s appointment promises to address key issues right away. Some of these include improving the offense, dealing with a massive salary cap for several stars, and chasing a $10 million star to add power and speed to the Chargers.
Los Angeles Chargers Projected to Acquire Saquon Barkley as Jim Harbaugh Takes Over
All of those issues must be resolved in the offseason by Los Angeles. Jeremy Fowler shares more in an article posted on ESPN:
“The acquisition of Jim Harbaugh breeds excitement, but this roster has a lot of work to do. The offensive line is less than stellar, the interior front seven hasn’t been good enough and cornerback remains an issue. The massive cap hits of four stars — Khalil Mack ($38.5 million), Joey Bosa ($36.6 million), Keenan Allen ($34.7 million) and Mike Williams ($32.5 million) — must be addressed.
At the very least, some of these deals will be restructured or possibly extended. With Greg Roman as offensive coordinator, the Chargers will inevitably revamp a struggling running game. Adding a three-down back with speed and power — Saquon Barkley comes to mind — seems fitting,” Fowler wrote.
The last part seems promising for the Chargers as a player of Barkley’s talent will definitely do a lot for the team. With Harbaugh coming onboard, expect a lot of changes to take place for Los Angeles before the upcoming season starts.
