Former quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, Donovan McNabb, had a few questions regarding Harbaugh’s choice of coaches for the upcoming season. He said, “I think this is great news for Justin Herbert and that offense. But more importantly, the questions go out for me of who’s going to be the defensive coordinator.

McNabb further stated, “You look at the names on that roster of the starting defensive players, meaning [Joey] Bosa, Khalil Mack, Derwin James, and the list goes on of talented players. But who’s going to be the defensive coordinator to get them going to get back to that top 10, possibly top five, defense so this offense can continue to be explosive?” Only time will reveal all these answers as the Chargers carry Harbaugh on their shoulders for their newest adventure, in the hopes of a grand Super Bowl title shot.
