Earlier this month, the Los Angeles Chargers decided to part ways with head coach Brandon Staley. And it sounds like the team could have someone in mind that they would like to replace him: Michigan Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh.
According to a report from NFL insider Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report, the Los Angeles Chargers “have interest” in potentially hiring Jim Harbaugh as their next head coach after firing Staley earlier this year.
“The #Chargers have interest in Michigan HC Jim Harbaugh, per sources. It’s unclear if the feeling is mutual, as Harbaugh gets set to coach the Wolverines in their third consecutive College Football Playoff appearance,” Schultz said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

Harbaugh is currently leading Michigan in the College Football Playoff where the team earned the No. 1 overall seed in the playoff and will face the Alabama Crimson Tide in the semifinal.
It’s not clear whether or not Harbaugh would be willing to leave Michigan, but he has shown interest in NFL job openings in previous seasons, including last year. So we’ll have to see if he shows any interest in this job opening.
