After defeating the Cleveland Browns in their week 9 matchup, the LA Chargers improved their record a little. Sitting in 3rd place in the AFC West, the team is reliant on Jim Harbaugh to lead them. He has seen enough of such situations in his life. The veteran coach has many connections to Ohio. He was born there and watched football there while studying. There are many stories about those times.  Some of them are very emotional.

The first one is about his family. His father, Jack Harbaugh, has been the driving force behind him. When Jim was a child, Jack was a well-respected coach in the college football circuit. The football obsession was there, and it crossed limits sometimes. The passion for the game is ingrained in Jack, who still works as the assistant head coach for Michigan Wolverines at the age of 85.

Being born in Ohio, the city has a special place in the lives of the Harbaugh family. After the week 9 victory, the coach revealed that his parents got married in November 1961, and on their honeymoon, Jack took his wife Jacqueline to a Browns game. The love runs deep. It’s just unbelievable.

Jim Harbaugh has spent many years asserting his dominance over Ohio. When he was head coach of Michigan Wolverines, their season ended with the game against Ohio State. And the coach won the last 3 of those games near the end of his career. It was the same today when the Chargers crushed the Browns by 27-10.

Jim Harbaugh left the NFL in 2014 and has made a comeback after a decade for the Chargers. So far, he has been successful in his endeavor.

Jim Harbaugh is back to full health

Jim Harbaugh scared everyone when he went to the sidelines during the week 6 game against the Broncos. It was a terrifying scene. No one could understand what was happening. The coach went to the sidelines before coming out minutes later.

He later revealed that he suffers from a medical condition called Arrhythmia that causes the heart to beat faster than usual. However, a small surgery was done later which was successful. Even in those tense moments, the love for football was evident. When asked if he would take a break from the game, his reply was “It would take my heart stopping for me not to be out there on the sideline.” This is what makes Jim Harbaugh and his family so respected in the football circuit.

His approach has always been to do whatever it takes to win games. After 9 weeks, the Chargers are sitting comfortably at 2nd position in the AFC West behind the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs. The team is set to qualify for the playoffs unless they commit some silly mistakes and get themselves out.
