The newest head coach for the Chargers’ latest update has got the fans believing the notion that by the end of the day, he’s just like every American out there. The former HC for the Michigan Wolverines was the hot piece of gossip for about 2 months after the team won the national championship. And now he’s going viral for one of the most bizarre things to ever hear about an NFL coach.
Jim Harbaugh, the head coach for the Los Angeles Chargers, is, by all means, a celebrity in the footballing world. His team went 15-0 undefeated last season before finally taking the natty back to Ann Arbour. Though his departure from the Wolverines was heavily criticized by the fans of the men in blue and maize, he was welcomed by the Chargers in the grandest of manners. But in a move that is definitely causing an uproar among Michigan fans, Jim Harbaugh was seen having a garage sale for his memorabilia.

In a recent Reddit post that has garnered over 1.3K upvotes, Harbaugh is at the receiving end of backlash and jokes alike. The fans couldn’t help but be ecstatic about the fact that an NFL coach who has just recently won a national championship back in 2023, is having a garage sale to sell off stuff from his house, as does every household in the country when there’s just too much to accumulate.

One fan commented under the post with a feeling of bewilderment and said, “This is the most Jim Harbaugh thing I’ve ever seen. Probably could easily pay someone to get rid of it all, but he’s basically doing what every self respecting middle class American does and having a garage sale.” A lot of the fans poked fun at the irony of the situation, which is that the Chargers just sold off some of their veteran players a few days ago and now Harbaugh seems to be selling his unimportant junk as well. But while those players ended up with other renowned NFL teams, Harbaugh’s collectibles will end up in the fans’ trophy cases as they take pride in owning a piece that came directly from his closet. Here are 5 notable fan reactions that we thought were too good to go unnoticed.

One user referenced the release of Keenan Allen last week and took a shot at Harbaugh’s greed for money. He wrote, “Theyre gonna use the money to get allen back next season 👍🏾”
Next, this fan noticed a bizarre detail about the abundance of stuff at the garage sale and highlighted Harbaugh’s passion for collecting snowglobes. He said, “Of course coach has a snowglobe collection.” Funnily enough, it was replied to another comment by a user who said, “Had a snow globe collection 💀”
This fan’s comment took the cake on the hysterical meter as he talked about the sale of chargers, and yes, the pun was definitely intended. The comment read, “Any chargers he selling? Phone, laptop?”

Lastly, this user summarized his experience of actually being in attendance at the garage sale and said, “He actually showed up around 5PM. Took pictures with a few garage sale attendees. So, for $2, I got some Michigan socks, a selfie with Harbaugh and a great story.” Thus, it looks like Harbaugh used the garage sale as a good opportunity to bond with a few fans as well as get rid of his old stuff at the same time.
