Jim Harbaugh is once again said to be drawing interest from NFL teams as the 2023 season nears its finish, and a new potential suitor reportedly wants to enter the mix for the Michigan coach.
The Los Angeles Chargers have interest in Harbaugh, according to Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report. It is unclear if Harbaugh would be willing to listen, however.
The Chargers are searching for a new head coach after they fired Brandon Staley. Team owner Dean Spanos is known for his unwillingness to spend big on coaches, and he would obviously have to deviate from that approach if he wanted to attempt to pry Harbaugh away from Michigan.
Harbaugh is facing an uncertain future at Michigan as the NCAA continues to investigate the program’s illegal
operation of stealing signs. There has been conjecture that a lengthy ban might improve his prospects of making a comeback to the NFL. However, Harbaugh appears to have hinted recently that he intends to stick with the Wolverines.
Over the last two offseasons, 59-year-old Harbaugh has toyed with the notion of returning to the NFL. Although he has been connected to several NFL head coaching positions, his present priorities are the College Football Playoffs and winning a national championship.
The Chargers may consider pursuing a different option as their head coach if Spanos is determined to make a significant impression with his next appointment.
