Jim Harbaugh, the head coach of the Michigan Wolverines, has interviewed with the Los Angeles Chargers for their head coaching vacancy. This comes a week after he led Michigan to a national title. Harbaugh, with a notable coaching career, has an 89-25 record in nine seasons coaching his alma mater.
He also has NFL coaching experience, having coached the San Francisco 49ers and leading them to a Super Bowl appearance. Harbaugh played quarterback for the Chargers in 1999 and 2000, establishing a prior relationship with the team. The Chargers are seeking a new head coach and general manager after the recent dismissals of Brandon Staley and Tom Telesco.
Harbaugh is considering staying at Michigan, and he has received a lucrative offer from the university. He recently hired agent Don Yee to explore his options. The Chargers have interviewed several candidates for both coaching and general manager positions. Other NFL teams with coaching vacancies include Atlanta, Carolina, Las Vegas, Seattle, Tennessee, and Washington.
