The Big House had been fully packed to witness the Michigan Wolverines crushing the Fresno State. Other than witnessing the maize and blue rage, fans swarmed to get a glimpse of their favorite HC Jim Harbaugh. To pop up their bubble, he did not land in Ann Arbor. The now Los Angeles Chargers HC decided to cruise through the LA streets on the game day after snubbing the honorary captain’s respect.

But when it’s $110 million, Harbaugh, it has to be in style. He was spotted rolling through the city roads in a Cybertruck. That’s something new, as he had lived a RV life for quite some time.

It’s a new era in Ann Arbor with new HC Sherrone Moore at the helm. But how could the Wolverines fans forget what Harbaugh had gifted them? Michigan is fresh off winning the 2023 national championship after crushing Washington to dust in the title contest. It all happened because of the GREAT JIM HARBAUGH. Hence, the Wolverines fans had been reigning high in expectations to spot their fav HC in the stands. But Harbaugh seemed to be more interested in dominating the LA streets in his plush ride.

On August 31 of the game day, the LA Chargers HC was spotted driving his “LA Blue” Tesla Cybertruck which ranges from $80,000 in downtown Los Angeles. But what happened to his Ann Arbor trip? All eyes were set on the home opener where Harbaugh was initially touted as the honorary captain. But the plan fizzled out! The Chargers HC declined the offer to return to Michigan Stadium since his only focus now is the upcoming NFL season and he is keeping any “distraction” out of his way. Meanwhile, on switching his roles, Harbaugh did hit the upgrade button as back in March he had surprised fans with his unconventional choice of residence on wheels.  

Jim Harbaugh’s RV life Jim Rockford-style  

Right after he gave up on his HC role with the Wolverines, he moved to California and lived a few days in an RV temporarily stationed at a trailer park. Guessing why Harbaugh came up with such a bizarre choice? After all, it had been his dream of living the life of Jim Rockford and getting the chance to live the scenes straight out of The Rockford Files. The RV model that he had been spotted living in was a Ford Motorcoach.

As revealed in a YouTube video uploaded by the Los Angeles Chargers on April 16, the HC gave a tour of the luxurious RV named the Quantum Thor Motor Coach that gave fans straight out of any Marvel movie feeling. Ever since then, Harbaugh had utilized the “me-time” living in the RV to whip up strategies for the Chargers. 

As in one of the UNDISPUTED TODAY episodes Colin Cowherd stated, “He goes into his motor coach, he goes to the back and he sits and it gives him time to think and that’s why I think he has come up.” Now that Harbaugh swaps maize and blue for Chargers’ lightning bolts, Wolverines fans are left feeling like they’ve been ghosted.
