Jim Harbaugh's first message as new head coach of the Chargers

Jim Harbaugh was one of the most coveted names after winning the national championship with Michigan in college football. Furthermore, the head coach has massive NFL experience reaching the Super Bowl with the San Francisco 49ers in the 2012 season.

Right now, teams have at their disposal one of the best list of names available in recent years. Harbaugh, Bill Belichick and Mike Vrabel are definitely on top of it, but, there hadn’t been official announcements around them.

Of course, the Atlanta Falcons are probably the most intriguing franchise in this coaching carousel. They’ve already had two interviews with Bill Belichick and, when the NFL believed that was a perfect match, Jim Harbaugh emerged as an alternative.

The decision for owner Arthur Blank could have time as a key factor. Belichick might not be coaching for many years, while Harbaugh is an expert in rebuilding processes with San Diego, Stanford, the 49ers and the Wolverines.

Chargers or Falcons: What will be the next team of Jim Harbaugh?

Jim Harbaugh will be the next head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers. Though the head coach was scheduled to have a second interview with the Atlanta Falcons, it won’t happen.

According to many reports, Harbaugh extended his stay in Los Angeles as the ‘other’ second interview with the Chargers went extremely well. Two consecutive days of talks ended with a massive five-year contract.

“The only job you start at the top is digging a hole, so we know we’ve got to earn our way. Be better today than yesterday. Be better tomorrow than today. My priorities are faith, family and football, and we are going to attack each with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. This organization is putting in the work, investing capital, building infrastructure and doing everything within its power to win. Great effort equals great results and we’re just getting started.”
