Chargers News: Jim Harbaugh's Farewell Address To Michigan As He Left For LA

Poignant.

During an interview with Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, newly-hired Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh reflected on his farewell message to his former club, the University of Michigan Wolverines, upon taking on a new role with Los Angeles.

“When I was leaving the team and telling them I was coming to the Chargers, I told them, ‘Don’t forget that. Don’t forget that you did that.’ When people stop talking about it and it dies down, just the way you walk, the way you carry yourself and look at each other. It’ll be a head nod," Harbaugh explained. "It won’t be a deep, long bow any more, but it’ll still be that.

“And go do it again. Go do it again. Now they know what it feels like to be a champion, to be undefeated. Just so excited for that for every guy on that team and all the coaches. The baton has been passed. Now Sherrone Moore is the head coach at Michigan, and then I get this incredible opportunity the Spanos family has given me.”

Harbaugh was fresh off capturing a College Football Playoff title with the Wolverines, and returns to the NFL after a decade-long absence (he was previously the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers for a successful-is-brief stint).
