Jim Harbaugh addressed the media on Thursday for the first time since taking over as the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers.
After winning a national title this season and leading the Michigan Wolverines to success for nine years, Harbaugh was questioned about how he could lead the Chargers back to success in the future.
In breaking down his concept for the squad, Harbaugh made it apparent that he wants to play rough, tough football.
“Humble and ravenous.” We will show respect for each and every one of our rivals, work to earn their respect, and succeed in winning. a hardy, tenacious, and unwavering squad. We’re going to strive to be a physically strong squad, added Harbaugh.
“Don’t let the powder blues fool you,” he added, joking that the franchise’s beloved alternate uniforms won’t be indicative of the physical style of play he intends to bring to the team.
The Chargers have just one playoff appearance over the past five years, and haven’t won a game in the postseason since 2018. The team’s 5-12 record in ‘23 was its worst dating back to the ‘15 season, prompting the organization to turn to Harbaugh in order to help right the ship.
Although the team hasn’t done much winning of late, Harbaugh laid out the groundwork for how he plans to get Los Angeles on a path to success.
