The Los Angeles Chargers will have a new head coach in 2024 with Jim Harbaugh taking on the mantle following nearly a decade with the Michigan Wolverines.
This will be a homecoming of sorts for Harbaugh, who coached three other California teams – the San Francisco 49ers, Stanford University, and the University of San Diego – and because he once played for the Chargers.
Harbaugh was the team’s starting quarterback for the final two years of his career in 1999 and 2000.
As a result of his return, the team decided to post a hype video on Twitter.
“Every job I’ve taken at every step of the way coaching, there’s a connection there,” Harbaugh said in the video. “Coming back to the Chargers – the sincerity, it was there. It just felt like home.”

Now, Harbaugh returns to the team he once played for as a head coach looking to lead them to where he never could as a player.
He has experience taking teams to titles, though, after winning the College Football Playoff championship with Michigan this past season and leading the 49ers to the Super Bowl in 2012.
The Chargers have a bit more work to do, though, after a bad year in 2023.
Quarterback Justin Herbert is a big bright spot for the team, but there are lots of roster holes to fill – including at running back and on the defense.
Harbaugh has proven throughout his coaching tenure that he can fix programs, and now he’ll have a chance to do it with another team he has a deep connection to with the Chargers.
He’ll also get another chance to play his brother, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh, at some point during the regular season in 2024.
