RUMOR: Jim Harbaugh in heavy discussions with 1 NFL team
Well, here we go again. Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh has found himself back at the center of NFL rumors, even before he's had a chance to lead the Wolverines in the current season. One rumor floating around suggests that Harbaugh is engaged in “heavy discussions” with an NFL team, particularly the Los Angeles Chargers, sparking intrigue about his potential return to the professional league.
Another Year, Another Harbaugh to the NFL Rumor
According to Matt Marchese of Sportsnet 590 The FAN, Harbaugh is in talks about a possible move to Los Angeles, engaging in “heavy discussions” with the Chargers. These discussions have surfaced, raising questions about Harbaugh's future in college football.
Marchese speculates that the Harbaugh-Chargers pairing could materialize regardless of the Chargers' performance this season unless they reach the Super Bowl under their current head coach, Brandon Staley.
He even added that Harbaugh has discussed moving to L.A. with someone in his “very inner circle.”
“I think Jim Harbaugh is just sick of this nonsense in college,” Marchese said. “He can go to a team in the L.A. Chargers that has an elite young quarterback [Justin Herbert], a very good offensive structure and offensive weapons, and also has a very talented defense that maybe — just maybe — he can turn around.”
