Ex-NFL WR Turns to Kobe Bryant’s Wisdom to Help Jim Harbaugh Solve His Coaching Dilemma

Jim Harbaugh is in the middle of a crescendo in his career. He’s hinted at hanging up his boots for the NCAA and moving on to the NFL for coaching prospects. There lies an interesting dilemma since his team is in the finals of the NCAA competition 2023/24, which puts a different meaning on whether he should stay or leave the side.

James Jones sheds light on Harbaugh’s NCAA future with a Bryant quote

Jim Harbaugh is at an interesting crossroads in his coaching career. One that has been talked about several times in the popular media and by revered panelists. On another morning, the SPEAK panelists were asked about the same question. This time James Jones, the former NFL WR chipped in with a great response. He said- “One of my favorite players Kobe Bryant said “Job’s not finished”. Is the job finished, the job’s not finished. If you lose and you don’t win a National Championship. For me, the job is not finished.”

This was Jones’ response as he quoted some famous words of the basketball legend Kobe Bryant. This shows that even the panelists are banking on the HC to win the National Championship and then seek NFL roles. Moreover, this would increase the hunger to perform at the NFL level after having succeeded at the college level. As per NFL offers, several teams have been in constant talks with the Ann-Arbor coach, with one team looking to rope him in!

As per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Chargers and Harbaugh pairing seems more than ideal.
