Former Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh will have his hands full in his new role as the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers. But if Joey Bosa’s opinion is any indication, Harbaugh already has the command of the Chargers locker room.
Bosa recently spoke with the New York Post about his head coach, discussing his recent first meeting with Harbaugh, a meeting that Bosa says was a positive one.
“We sat down and probably talked for 30 minutes, an hour a couple of weeks ago,” Bosa told Jared Schwartz of the NY Post. “Great first impressions. I have a lot of confidence in him and the staff that he’s bringing around him. I think he seems like a really genuine guy, which you don’t find that a lot in coaches all the time. He’s interesting. He loves football more than anything. I think all he wants to do is win. The way he talked about his feelings toward this job and toward the future was pretty exciting.”
It’s certainly high praise from Bosa, which is great to see as the Chargers very clearly need a coach like Harbaugh that can unite this talented roster.
However, Harbaugh has also placed some very high expectations on this Chargers team for the future, proclaiming that he has his eyes on “multiple rings” throughout his time with the team.
For some, Harbaugh’s lofty expectations could be a bit extreme. Bosa seems to want to take things a game at a time next season, which appears to be the right approach.
“I’d like to win Game 1 first, then we can talk about Week 2 and then Week 3. Sometimes getting caught up with all the Super Bowl talk and all the hype gets you unfocused and worrying about the wrong things when you should just be worrying about what’s in front of you.”
Only time will tell whether the Chargers have all the success that Harbaugh has been talking about. But it at least seems like morale is extremely high in the Chargers locker room with Harbaugh in charge.
