The Los Angeles Chargers made a huge signing getting Michigan National Title champion Jim Harbaugh as their new head coach for 2024. They will pair Harbaugh with their elite but unproven quarterback Justin Herbert. While the Chargers have not officially introduced the coach just yet, but he gave a little preview in an interview on CBS.
Los Angeles Chargers Jim Harbaugh Is Smitten With New Quarterback
Harbaugh met with a few of the players ahead of championship weekend, and let’s just say there is a huge difference between the pros and college football. Harbaugh told the media about the first time meeting and was qouted raving about his new players specifically his new quarterback Herbert saying:
“I have met [Justin Herbert],” Harbaugh said ahead of the AFC Championship Game in Baltimore, via the team’s official site. “I met him and Derwin James, pro’s pros these guys, Keenan Allen. “But I was a little starstruck meeting Justin.”
Herbert is exactly how you want your quarterback to look, strong, tall and athletic, with a rocket arm. Harbaugh must be licking his chops thinking about all they can do together, and Herbert has already been quoted talking about how thrilled he is about the new head coach signing. Herbert has been great by the eye test and statistically in his short career, but is has not translated to wins. Now with Harbaugh that should change quickly.
Justin Herbert Will Look Much Better Next Season
Harbaugh is ready to make the switch to the NFL after conquering the college football world. He is thrilled to have the opportunity to coach a team that has a lot of talent but has not been able to out it all together. He was gushing about his new organization and his new quarterback saying how he has a lot of fire left in the tank:
“I got so many sands left in the hourglass and I want to take a crack at that,” he continued. “There’s nowhere better to do it than with the Los Angeles Chargers. Susie Spanos, Dean Spanos, Ed McGuire, John Spanos and this great quarterback.”
The team has needed the right coach, and now that they have it it would not be surprising if they are in the playoffs next season. Harbaugh has also been known as a quarterback whisperer of sorts and pairing him with Justin Herbert can be a match made in heaven. Even if you are a very talented quarterback, you need the right mentor to teach you the game. Tom Brady had Bill Belichick, Patrick Mahomes has Andy Reid, and Now Herbert will have Harbaugh to show him the ropes.
