“What About Everything Else?”: Chargers Issued Brutal Reality Check as Jim Harbaugh’s Pursuit Takes Yet Another Turn

With Adam Schefter confirming the news of Harbaugh interviewing with the Chargers, the ultimate turmoil of Harbaugh choosing the NFL or NCAA was satiated, to an extent. Yet, Harbaugh and the Chargers are yet to release any official news. Hence, as Harbaugh’s job at the Chargers remains a mystery, more intricate information surrounding Harbaugh and the Chargers continues to pour in.

Jim Harbaugh’s coaching career is brimming with records he can boast about. So when looking for a new opportunity, it’s no surprise that Harbaugh would like to make sure that his next job is as fruitful to his resume as his previous one. The latest instance being Michigan. Despite the sign-stealing fiasco tainting his reputation in the NCAA, Harbaugh with the National Championship trophy was on the cover of each headline. Before shaking hands on the Chargers role, Harbaugh would like to ensure the same.

Dean Spanos might have to change his ways

Schefter had to be the best one in the line to be aware of the behind-the-scenes of Harbaugh’s plunge. The NFL Insider has been a go-to source for all Harbaugh: NFL or NCAA updates. Hence, during the Dan Patrick show, Schefter was equipped with words when inquired about the possibility of Harbaugh accepting the Chargers’ head coaching position. However, per Schefter, things won’t be too ready-made for the Chargers if Harbaugh were to accept the job.

“It’s not that simple. What about everything else that comes along with it?” was the straightforward question of Schefter. Speaking from Harbaugh’s point of view, he stated, “Because before I commit to making a jump to the NFL, I want everything to know that everything is in place that I need to succeed at the next level, the wind I’ve succeeded everywhere during my coaching career. If you can change everything that I want, and everything that I need, and you’re offered me the job, then I say yes.” 

This means that Dean Spanos and Co. might have to change their ways to something they have never done before for any other head coach in franchise history. While it will embark on a new dawn for the Chargers as Harbaugh comes in with the best of both worlds, SB and National Championship appearances, it might also prove to be tacky for the players to play on Harbaugh’s old-styled strategy.
