Jim Harbaugh to Meet With Chargers For Second Time About Open HC Position

Where there is smoke, there is likely fire.

The Los Angeles Chargers search for their next head coach continues, and they have been linked with multiple big-time names. The one who has gained the most steam in recent weeks is University of Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh.

Harbaugh has already met with the Chargers, and there has been reported interest between the two sides. He would be a home-run hire for this Chargers organization, and it seems that a deal could possibly be coming down the line. 

According to NFL Insider Adam Schefter, Harbaugh is meeting with the Bolts for the second time about their open head coaching job.

A second meeting with a team doesn't necessarily mean anything, but there has been a lot of smoke around Harbaugh coming to Los Angeles. He would instantly make the Chargers relevant in the AFC, and he would be coaching a team that has a lot of talent across the board.

Getting Harbaugh to leave Michigan will be tough, but the Chargers seem determined to make a splash at their head coaching spot. Harbaugh would do just that and would give them a true leader at the helm.

The biggest incentive for Harbaugh to join Los Angeles is quarterback Justin Herbert. Most coaches want to know who the signal-caller would be, and he would be inheriting one of the best in the business. 

Under Harbaugh, Herbert could get even better. The Bolts offense would likely look much more consistent, which would help every part of this team.

Over the last few seasons, the offense has been widely inconsistent, and it has led to them dropping multiple games. This move would be beneficial for both sides, and it feels like it could happen soon.
