Monday night left a 17-19 Los Angeles Chargers loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7 of the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>. It was a setback that hurts the prospects of head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jim-harbaugh">Jim Harbaugh</a>‘s team, which sits with a 3-3 record so far this season. The game was notable for the controversy surrounding one particular play.



Late in the game, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers">Chargers</a> quarterback Justin Herbert threw a deep pass to wide receiver Simi Fehoko. The ball went far over the target, who was tangled up with Cardinals corner Max Melton. As the ball went away, an official threw a handkerchief at Melton, but the referees stepped in and ruled that there was no pass interference foul because the ball was uncatchable.



Harbaugh did not question the catchability of the ball, which was undoubtedly difficult to connect on, but focused his complaint on the foul on Fehoko. To the Chargers head coach, the play should have been a defensive holding infraction regardless of the pass.



<h2>Harbaugh’s strong message to NFL referees</h2>



“I saw that they were holding our catcher and wrapping him up. They were signaling that he couldn’t be caught. We had a double play going and they grabbed him. I’ll let the refs explain how they called that play,” was Harbaugh’s strong message to NFL referees after the loss to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals">Cardinals</a>.

<h2>The referees’ explanation of the controversial play</h2>



Referee Clete Blakeman clarified after the game that all the referees discussed and agreed that the trajectory of the ball made it uncatchable. However, this does not explain the failure to call the play that Harbaugh protested.

<h2>A controversial MNF between the Cardinals and Chargers</h2>



The game could have been different if the Chargers had the offense to kick the field goal, giving them a better chance to score the winning touchdown. The scenario was different and the Chargers had to kick their field goal at that point, giving the Cardinals a chance to kick their own game-winning field goal to take the win.



There was another controversial play involving a helmet-to-helmet hit that gave the Cardinals 15 yards and an automatic first down. Harbaugh refused to criticize the call. “It came down to a lot of details. I don’t think that play was the only play. I thought both teams played well,” the Chargers head coach said.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jim-harbaugh">Jim Harbaugh</a> is back in the NFL after a decade away, and his first game of the 2024 season was a relatively easy home victory with his new team, the Los Angeles Chargers, who defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 22-10.



In the post-game press conference, Harbaugh appeared quite satisfied with the result of his debut game. He expressed gratitude for being with an organization like the Chargers and acknowledged several key figures associated with the franchise.



When directly asked by a reporter about the biggest difference between a win in the NFL and one in college football, the Chargers’ head coach highlighted the challenges of securing victories in the NFL, emphasizing that the league is far more complex compared to coaching a college program.



His brief response was, “They’re hard to get, these are hard to get, everybody in that locker room knows it as do I. It is really hard to win a game in the NFL.” He also mentioned that he holds a great deal of respect for everyone in the Chargers organization.

<h2>Harbaugh’s First Game of the Season</h2>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers">Los Angeles Chargers</a> started the game somewhat cautiously. The first half was tight, thanks to strong defensive work by players like Joey Bosa, whom Harbaugh specifically noted as someone responsible for doing the ‘dirty work.‘ The first half ended with the Raiders leading 6-7.



In the second half, the Chargers made adjustments, shutting out the Raiders in the third quarter and managing to score just 3 points. However, things improved significantly in the final quarter, with the Chargers scoring 13 points to secure the win.



<h2>Harbaugh’s Upcoming Games</h2>



According to the official schedule for the Chargers’ 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a> season, the team will face the Carolina Panthers on the road in Week 2, and then travel again in Week 3 to play the Pittsburgh Steelers. The most anticipated game for Harbaugh in September will be in Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs at SoFi Stadium.

The Los Angeles Chargers have never won the Super Bowl and, after many years of failure with Brandon Staley, Jim Harbaugh arrives from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/college-football">college football</a> as the possible answer to dethrone <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a>.



However, it’s not going to be an easy task. The problems with the salary cap meant a lot of stars had to be gone. For example, wide receivers Mike Williams and Keenan Allen.



Of course, the biggest reason to believe in a promising future is Justin Herbert, one of the most talented quarterbacks in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a>. If the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers">Chargers</a> surround him with the right talent, anything is possible.



Right now, the 2024 Draft will be the path in this new rebuilding process but, just a few days before that event, Harbaugh just made a huge move to sign a great running back.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240418_BUS_119848_jimharbaugh-1024x576_c3868738.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-98455" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/jimharbaugh-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/jimharbaugh-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/jimharbaugh-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/jimharbaugh-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/jimharbaugh.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jim Harbaugh just got a big player to help Justin Herbert (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Chargers sign JK Dobbins</h2>



JK Dobbins will sign a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Chargers after playing four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. The running back was a second-round pick in the 2020 Draft, but injuries were the key factor to not fulfill his potential.







Now, Dobbins get a shot at redemption as the Chargers needed desperately a replacement for Austin Ekeler who is gone after signing with the Washington Commanders. 


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240214#BUS#104805"></div>


In 2023, JK Dobbins’ season ended abruptly in Week 1 against the Houston Texans with a torn Achilles. Even in this scenario, Harbaugh believes that, if healthy, Dobbins might become a star in the NFL.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Chargers</a> are set to have a notable head coach this year. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jim-harbaugh" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jim Harbaugh</a>, who decided to depart from the Michigan Wolverines, will join the AFC West club. However, he may not be entirely ready to leave behind his college football team.



Recent years have been challenging for the Chargers. Despite boasting a highly talented roster, the club has struggled to compete in the AFC West due to inadequate coaching over the past few seasons.



With this in mind, the team’s front office made the decision to bring in one of the top head coaches of recent years. Jim Harbaugh is returning to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>, poised to lead the team to greatness once and for all.



<h2>Ex-Michigan standout believes Harbaugh will draft several of his former players</h2>



Jim Harbaugh had an exceptional tenure with the Michigan Wolverines. Earlier this year, the college football team clinched the National Championship, a testament to the coach’s ability to build a remarkable roster of talented players.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240203#BUS#101891"></div>


Now, Harbaugh is poised to coach another exceptional roster, this time in the NFL. The Los Angeles Chargers have entrusted him with a new opportunity in professional football, with hopes that he will immediately guide them to success.



However, Harbaugh hasn’t forgotten about his college football team. The coach recently said that J.J. McCarthy, his former player, is the best quarterback in the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl-draft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL Draft</a>. This statement might offer insight into his plans for the upcoming draft.



Roman Wilson, former wide receiver of the Wolverines, believes that Harbaugh will draft several of his former players for the Chargers. According to him, the coach intends to replicate the formula of success that worked for him in college football, but this time in the NFL.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240412_BUS_118483_jimharbaugh-1024x576_59409a1b.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Jim Harbaugh, former head coach of the Michigan Wolverines" class="wp-image-84395" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/jimharbaugh-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/jimharbaugh-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/jimharbaugh-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/jimharbaugh-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/jimharbaugh.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jim Harbaugh, former head coach of the Michigan Wolverines</figcaption></figure>



“I wouldn’t be surprised if like all nine of us end up going [to the Chargers],” Wilson said, referring to the team’s nine draft picks, per Fox Sports. “But seriously, like at least five or six. I think he’s going to take a lot of us.”



Wilson could potentially be drafted by the Chargers this year. The team is aiming to surround Justin Herbert with talented players, and while Roman may not be the top wide receiver in this year’s class, his previous experience with Harbaugh could pave the way for him to join Los Angeles.



<h2>What are the needs of the Los Angeles Chargers in the 2024 NFL Draft?</h2>



As of today, the Los Angeles Chargers have nine picks for the 2024 NFL Draft. In the first round, the AFC West team is positioned at No. 5, which is an excellent spot to select a top prospect.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240129#BUS#100958"></div>


With Mike Williams, Keenan Allen, and Austin Ekeler departing the Chargers this offseason, the team needs to address multiple positions in the draft this year. In addition to drafting a wide receiver and a running back, they must also focus on fortifying the defensive line and secondary.


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="6619b0be2a34d42c6b29fd16" data-title="Should the Chargers select a wide receiver at No. 5 in the 2024 NFL Draft?" data-options="2"></div>

A few years ago, Harbaugh came close to seizing glory with the San Francisco 49ers but lost the title game in a thriller against his brother John and the Baltimore Ravens.



Now, the challenge will be enormous in the AFC West considering that the clear favorites are the reigning champions, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a>, with a stellar roster that includes <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a>, Travis Kelce and Chris Jones.

<h2>Who is the best quarterback available in the 2024 NFL Draft?</h2>



According to Jim Harbaugh, J.J. McCarthy is the best quarterback available in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft over names like Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels or Michael Penix Jr.







“I’ve said it before. I think he is the best quarterback in the draft (J.J. McCarthy). That’s just what I think. It’s my opinion. Of all the quarterbacks that are in the draft, there are great quarterbacks in the Draft, but I think he plays quarterback the best of any quarterback in the Draft.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240214#BUS#104805"></div>


Of course, there’s a big connection between Harbaugh and McCarthy as they worked together in that extraordinary championship run with the Michigan Wolverines. That’s why the head coach also praised his Pro Day.



“I’ve been to a lot of Pro Day workouts and watched quarterbacks throw. That was the best I’ve ever seen a quarterback do at a Pro Day. I mean, not only was feet great and the individual drills, but then he started throwing and it was like every throw was right there. I thought our receivers did a great job, too. They all had a great day, but that was the best throwing day I’ve ever seen, and then to hear coaches and GMs come up to me and say, ‘Hey, great job with J.J.&apos;”

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jim-harbaugh" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jim Harbaugh</a> has recently arrived in Los Angeles and is already preparing the roster for the upcoming 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. The head coach has now addressed <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/austin-ekeler" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Austin Ekeler’s</a> situation and his potential continuity with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chargers</a>.



The Los Angeles Chargers are desperate for a massive change this year. Even though they have an amazing roster, the team has struggled to compete in recent years, mostly due to its coaching staff.



A few weeks ago, the club announced the arrival of Jim Harbaugh, one of the most sought-after coaches in football. He is prepared to bring some joy to the Chargers and help them compete in the AFC West.



<h2>Jim Harbaugh gets real on the continuity of Austin Ekeler</h2>



The Chargers have finally found the elite head coach they have been looking for years. it was not easy to bring Jim Harbaugh back to the NFL, but a lucrative contract convinced him to return.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240125#BUS#100087"></div>


Of course, money was not the sole factor that lured Harbaugh to sign with the Chargers. Fortunately for the team, they have a highly competitive roster, and it seems that all these players need is some guidance from a top coach to succeed.



One of those playmakers is Austin Ekeler. The running back has been a remarkable asset for the Chargers, but now his future is uncertain as he’s set to become a free agent soon.



During the 2023 season, there were rumors that the Chargers wanted to part ways with Ekeler. He even experienced a loss of workload during the campaign. However, Jim Harbaugh doesn’t want him to go anywhere.



“If things go well, it’s going to be because of guys like Austin Ekeler and the players,” Harbaugh told AP. “I like Austin Ekeler. We’re going to have a huge emphasis on the run game, and we gotta block better up front. He’s a tremendous back and we’d love to have him on the team next year. But yeah, [if] things go well, it’s kind of because of all the players. If it goes bad, it’s because I’m a bad manager, I’m a bad coach.”



As for Ekeler, he has a lot of doubts about the free agency market. On his own podcast, the player shared that he doesn’t know what to expect from it, but that he would like to land in a team that recognizes his value.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240215_BUS_105072_Austin-Ekeler-Los-Angeles-Chargers-NFL-2020-1024x572_9e5a2a27.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="Austin Ekeler - Los Angeles Chargers - NFL 2020" class="wp-image-34556" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/Austin-Ekeler-Los-Angeles-Chargers-NFL-2020-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/Austin-Ekeler-Los-Angeles-Chargers-NFL-2020-300x168.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/Austin-Ekeler-Los-Angeles-Chargers-NFL-2020-768x429.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/Austin-Ekeler-Los-Angeles-Chargers-NFL-2020.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Austin Ekeler – Los Angeles Chargers – NFL 2020</figcaption></figure>



Even though he’s set to become a free agent, it seems like Harbaugh will do everything to bring him back to LA for the 2024 season. However, Ekeler wants a lucrative deal, but unfortunately, several running backs have struggled recently with this matter.



<h2>Is Austin Ekeler still a top running back?</h2>



Austin Ekeler, 29, has been a remarkable player for the Chargers in recent years. Despite a “less-than-stellar” year, he registered 1,064 scrimmage yards, marking his third consecutive season surpassing the 1,000-yard mark.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240203#BUS#101808"></div>


Unfortunately, running backs are currently facing a tough situation. Teams are hesitant to offer them lucrative deals, with top names such as Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs, Tony Pollard, and of course Ekeler, hitting the free agency market this offseason.

Though the Atlanta Falcons had a lot of interest in the former quarterback, the Chargers held a second interview with Harbaugh and didn’t let him leave the building. He is the chosen one to develop a future star like Justin Herbert.

As a result of the move, the AFC West is stacked with tremendous coaches like Harbaugh, Andy Reid and Sean Payton.

Renowned for his talent evaluation skills, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jim-harbaugh" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jim Harbaugh</a>, the head coach of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Chargers</a>, has offered valuable advice to teams seeking a quarterback in the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl-draft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL Draft</a>, guiding them on the ideal selection.



The 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Draft will feature remarkable talents for the quarterback position. Numerous teams are in need of a top player to lead their offense, but not all will be successful in securing one.



Despite the Los Angeles Chargers not needing a quarterback, Jim Harbaugh didn’t hesitate to discuss who should be drafted first. The head coach is aware of an underrated player available—one he knows quite well.



<h2>Jim Harbaugh advices NFL teams to draft Michigan’s quarterback</h2>



Jim Harbaugh doesn’t want to be the sole member in the NFL from the Michigan Wolverines who won the National Championship this year. The head coach is advising all teams to consider adding his former quarterback during the 2024 Draft.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240129#BUS#100958"></div>


The new head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers had an amazing year with the Wolverines, securing victory in the most recent edition of the National Championship. Nevertheless, his feat was also thanks to the incredible performance of J.J. McCarthy.



The quarterback is listed as one of the top prospects for the 2024 NFL Draft. Last year was definitely his best in college, with 240 passes completed out of 332 attempts, 2,991 passing yards and 22 touchdowns.



For this reason, Harbaugh believes that McCarthy should be the first quarterback drafted this year. In an interview with Fox Sports, the head coach praised his former player and advised all teams to use their first pick to select him.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240203_BUS_101891_jimharbaugh-1024x576_b6ef953c.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Jim Harbaugh, former head coach of the Michigan Wolverines" class="wp-image-84395" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/jimharbaugh-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/jimharbaugh-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/jimharbaugh-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/jimharbaugh-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/jimharbaugh.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jim Harbaugh, former head coach of the Michigan Wolverines</figcaption></figure>



When Colin Cowherd asked Harbaugh about McCarthy’s hidden skills, he responded, ‘Arm talent, athleticism…’ and continued, ‘Don’t be surprised if and when he’s the number one quarterback off the board. That’s my prediction right now.’



<h2>2024 NFL Draft: Which teams could pick a quarterback in the first round?</h2>



The 2024 NFL Draft is around the corner, and teams are gearing up to select the best available players. Naturally, quarterbacks are in high demand, with numerous teams in need of this key position.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240126#BUS#100259"></div>


In the first round, teams like the Bears, Commanders, Patriots, Falcons, Jets, Vikings, Broncos, and Raiders could opt for a quarterback. It is anticipated that the draft order might change based on their specific needs.

Harbaugh has already expressed his thoughts on the quarterback, sharing what he really thinks about him.



Following a very disappointing 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season, the Chargers decided to part ways with Brandon Staley. Despite having a great roster, the head coach was unable to guide them to success, ending his tenure with Los Angeles with a 24-24 record.



In response to the highly talented roster, the front office opted for an elite coach to mentor the team. With Jim Harbaugh now at the helm, there’s a palpable sense that the Chargers are poised to transform into a formidable and competitive club.



<h2>Jim Harbaugh reveals his initial thoughts on Justin Herbert</h2>



The Chargers seem to have secured the coach they’ve been seeking for years. Jim Harbaugh, returning to the league after a decade, will lead a highly talented roster, and fans are really excited about it.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240126#BUS#100259"></div>


Despite having one of the most promising rosters in the league, the AFC West team has struggled due to recent coaching challenges. The players have been unable to showcase their true potential, highlighting the significance of effective guidance.



With Harbaugh’s arrival, huge changes are anticipated. The experienced head coach recently clinched the National Championship with the Michigan Wolverines, and that’s why several teams tried to hire him this year.



Now, Harbaugh is starting to see the talent he’s going to coach. He has talked about Justin Herbert, praising the quarterback and exciting the team’s fans with his thoughts about him.



“I met him (Herbert), and Derwin James, and — pro’s pros these guys — and Keenan Allen,” Harbaugh said on Sunday ahead of the AFC Championship Game. “But I was a little starstruck, meeting Justin.”

Harbaugh is aware of the outstanding roster at his disposal, recognizing Herbert’s potential to lead them to success. While the quarterback has already demonstrated his worth, the anticipation is that he will unleash his full talent under the guidance of his new coach.



<h2>What is Justin Herbert’s contract with the Los Angeles Chargers?</h2>



For many fans of the Chargers, Justin Herbert stands as a potential savior. The highly skilled quarterback has showcased his elite status, and the franchise’s future hinges on his continued success.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231212#BUS#91507"></div>


During the past summer, the team’s front office extended a lucrative offer to Justin Herbert. The quarterback inked a five-year, $262.5 million contract extension, securing $218.7 million in guaranteed money.

Several teams have opted to hire a new head coach for the 2024 season. Last year, the Chargers parted ways with Brandon Staley, prompting an immediate search for his replacement to lead the club.



It didn’t take too long for them to find a new head coach. The Chargers were able to seduce Jim Harbaugh with a lucrative deal, and he’s ready to make the team compete in the AFC West again.



<h2>Will the Chargers face the Ravens in the 2024 NFL season?</h2>



In 2014, Jim Harbaugh coached his final season with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a>. A decade later, he returns to California, this time to lead the Los Angeles Chargers and try to solve their problems.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240120#BUS#99087"></div>


Jim will join his brother John in the NFL. Even though they are not part of the same division, they will face in the 2024 season, and now the third edition of the Harbaugh Bowl is a reality.



The Chargers will host the Ravens for a regular season match this year. Although it is not the first time that we see this sibling rivalry in the NFL, it will be the first time that Jim coaches at home against his brother.



During the 2011 season, Baltimore took down Jim’s 49ers with a final score of 16-6. Three years later, they became the first brothers to coach against each other in a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a>, with the Ravens defeating San Francisco 34-31 to win the Vince Lombardi.

The Chargers have a great roster that Jim could undoubtedly improve, and John’s Ravens are currently one of the best teams in the entire league. Clear your schedule for the third edition of the Harbaugh Bowl.



<h2>Did the Harbaugh brothers play in the NFL?</h2>



The Harbaugh brothers are widely regarded as great coaches. Both have had successful careers, either in the NFL or in college. However, only one of them chose to play football professionally.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231111#BUS#84380"></div>


Even though John was a defensive back at Miami University, he didn’t continue playing once he graduated in 1984. On the other hand, his brother Jim did play in the NFL as a quarterback for the Bears, Colts, Ravens, Chargers, and Panthers.

The waiting is finally over for the Chargers. Following an awful 2023 season, they decided to part ways with Brandon Staley, who finished his tenure with Los Angeles with a 24-24 record.



The AFC West team is stacked with talented players, and the front office wanted to provide them with a remarkable coach. For that reason, they have hired Jim Harbaugh, who returns to the NFL after 10 years away from it.



<h2>How much money will Jim Harbaugh make with the Chargers?</h2>



Jim Harbaugh has decided to return to the NFL after 10 years away. He had a remarkable career with the Michigan Wolverines, recently winning the National Championship with them.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240124#BUS#100075"></div>


Even though he was comfortable in college football, he always dreamt of returning to the NFL. Now, the Chargers have provided him with the opportunity for a comeback, offering a lucrative deal that he couldn’t reject.



According to report, Jim Harbaugh has signed a deal with the Chargers that will pay him around $12.5 million per year. The coach wanted $18 million, but Los Angeles rejected this idea.



Harbaugh will not only return to the NFL but will do so to coach the team with which he retired. Jim played his last season as a quarterback with the then San Diego Chargers in 2000, losing all five games he started.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240125_BUS_100087_Justin-Herbert-Los-Angeles-Chargers-NFL-2022-1024x572_b272e6d2.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="Justin Herbert - Los Angeles Chargers - NFL 2022" class="wp-image-35508" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/Justin-Herbert-Los-Angeles-Chargers-NFL-2022-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/Justin-Herbert-Los-Angeles-Chargers-NFL-2022-300x168.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/Justin-Herbert-Los-Angeles-Chargers-NFL-2022-768x429.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/Justin-Herbert-Los-Angeles-Chargers-NFL-2022.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Justin Herbert – Los Angeles Chargers – NFL 2022</figcaption></figure>



Now, Harbaugh has a big chance to prove he’s still a great head coach for the NFL. He will lead a remarkable roster, with Justin Herbert as the main star that should improve with Jim coaching him.



<h2>Will Jim Harbaugh be one of the best paid NFL coaches?</h2>



Even though Jim Harbaugh will have one of the most lucrative contracts for a head coach, he won’t be the best paid. Currently, there are other three coaches above him in this exclusive list.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231212#BUS#91507"></div>


With Bill Belichick still without a team and Pete Carroll no longer working as a head coach, only Sean Payton, Sean McVay, and Kyle Shanahan surpass Harbaugh in terms of the highest-paid NFL coaches. Mike Tomlin earns $12.5 million per season, while his brother John is just below him with $12 million.

How much money will Jim Harbaugh make with the Chargers?

Jim Harbaugh&nbsp;was one of the most coveted names after winning the national championship with Michigan in&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/college-football" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">college football</a>. Furthermore, the head coach has massive NFL experience reaching the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a> with the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a>&nbsp;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 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bill Belichick</a>&nbsp;and, when the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> 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&nbsp;Wolverines. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240124_BUS_100075_billbelichick-1024x576_634d7883.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-96602" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/billbelichick-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/billbelichick-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/billbelichick-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/billbelichick-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/billbelichick.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Bill Belichick and Jim Harbaugh are the top candidates for the Falcons (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Chargers or Falcons: What will be the next team of Jim Harbaugh?</h2>



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.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240120#BUS#99176"></div>


So, the Chargers made a final push to keep him in the building for good and it worked. This means the Atlanta Falcons just lost one of their top candidates and, as a consequence, Bill Belichick is now the name to follow.

It’s been months since <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> pundits have talked about Jim Harbaugh’s imminent return to the league. Ever since he left the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a>, people have wondered when he will get back to the pros.



The timing seemed perfect now. He led the Michigan Wolverines to the National Championship, and he could be in line to serve a third NCAA-imposed suspension.



Also, with the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Los Angeles Chargers</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-falcons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Atlanta Falcons</a> reportedly pursuing him, it seemed like a no-brainer move. Nonetheless, Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk reports that there could be a big factor in play: Money.



<h2>Jim Harbaugh Is Looking For More Money</h2>



“It’s all to be determined at this point. But if Harbaugh will be inclined to go where he’ll get the most moolah, it’s possible he’ll get there by going back to the place where he just reached the pinnacle of his career — even if he knows there’s a higher mountain to climb in the NFL,” wrote Florio.

Florio confirms that his decision could go down to the wire and choose between the Chargers, Falcons, or Wolverines. Nonetheless, a return to college could be the most likely option because of his potential salary:



“Barring a change, it’s looking like Chargers, Falcons, or Wolverines,” continued the report. “If it comes down to the money, Harbaugh could end up staying in the place where it’s easier to pay the head coach a lot of money because there’s no line item in the budget for player salaries.”

At the end of the day, this is a business, and it’s not like he’s been mistreated at Ann Arbor. He lives and dies for Michigan, and he could look to put together the next dynasty of college football, especially now that Nick Saban has finally called it quits.

It seems like a matter of time to see Jim Harbaugh coaching again in the big leagues. However, his brother John has now revealed the only thing that separates him from returning to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>.



Ten years ago, Jim Harbaugh decided to quit the NFL and return to college football. He coached the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a>, guiding them to a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a> that he lost to his own brother.



 John, who defeated Jim at Super Bowl XLVII, has continued his NFL career with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ravens</a>. Now, Jim is reportedly on the verge of rejoining the league, but there’s still one obstacle on the way: the Michigan Wolverines.



<h2>John Harbaugh says his brother Jim is doubtful about returning to the NFL because of Michigan</h2>



According to reports, Jim Harbaugh is set to return to the NFL for the 2024 season. Multiple teams are expressing interest in his services, given the head coach’s successful tenure with the Michigan Wolverines.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240117#BUS#98440"></div>


This same year, Harbaugh successfully led Michigan to win the National Championship. His deep commitment to the Wolverines could pose a significant obstacle for NFL teams interested in him.



John Harbaugh is aware that Jim loves both the NFL and the Wolverines. The Ravens’ head coach revealed that he doesn’t know what his brother will do, but he expects to see him in the league soon.



“I don’t know what [Jim Harbaugh’s] going to do,” Harbaugh said, via team transcripts. “I’m not sure what Jim’s plans are. I think whatever he does, it’ll be what’s best for him and his family. I know Michigan has been a joy for him to go back to his alma mater. His family loves it there. The players love him. He loves the players, coaches [and] the fan base. I don’t know exactly what direction he’s going to go. I would think that the [university] president and the board of trustees would be doing everything that they can to try and keep him. That’d be priority No. 1 if I was them, but I think at the end he’s going to do whatever’s best for him and his family. He loves Michigan, but he loves the NFL, too. So, we’ll just have to see.”



John has been helping his brother on his journey back to the NFL. The Super Bowl XLVII champion believes that Jim should be a part of the league, and that his experience and knowledge would contribute to any team’s success.

“His teams are always ready to roll. They always are,” Harbaugh said. “They’re always well coached. They’re always fundamentally sound. They always play super hard. They’re always connected emotionally. I think he’s the best coach in football. He’s a great coach.”



<h2>Which teams are interested in hiring Jim Harbaugh?</h2>



As of today, only two teams have interviewed Jim Harbaugh for the head coaching job: the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-falcons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Atlanta Falcons</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Chargers</a>. However, it seems like the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/bill-belichick-might-sign-very-soon-with-an-unexpected-nfc-team-20240118-BUS-98724.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFC South team will hire Bill Belichick instead</a>.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240120#BUS#99008"></div>


According to rumors, the Chargers are interested in bringing Harbaugh back to California. Jim has strong ties to the state, having been part of teams like the Oakland Raiders, San Diego, Stanford, and, notably, the San Francisco 49ers.

Jim Harbaugh has finally achieved his goal of becoming a national champion in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/college-football">college football</a> with Michigan. That’s why his new challenge is to win a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a>. Eleven years ago, the head coach came very close with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> when he lost the big game against his brother John and the Ravens.



Now, Harbaugh is part of an extraordinary list of available names heading into the 2024 season alongside Bill Belichick and Mike Vrabel. Therefore, many teams will not miss the opportunity to change their future.



While <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick">Bill Belichick</a> might be considered the top candidate for any team in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a>, the significant issue is the longevity factor. Hence, Harbaugh is very appealing for a long-term rebuilding process.



He already did it successfully in San Diego, Stanford, the 49ers and the Wolverines. Considering this impressive list, a NFC team might surprise everyone with a big push to sign him.

In the case of Jim Harbaugh, it’s important to remember he already had an interview with the Los Angeles Chargers. That’s a very compelling place with Justin Herbert as a proven franchise quarterback.
