Chargers To Have Second Interview With Michigan HC Jim Harbaugh

According to Adam Schefter, the Chargers are expected to have a second interview with Michigan HC Jim Harbaugh this week. 

This is the first reported second interview for the Chargers as they look for a new head coach. 

It’s fair to say based on reports, Harbaugh is the favorite for Los Angeles’ coaching vacancy, but we’ll see how it all plays out. They have an extensive list of candidates they’ve talked to so far, including:

Harbaugh, 60, was a first-round pick out of Michigan by the Bears in 1987. He played 14 years in the league before becoming a coach, first with the Raiders. He was hired by San Diego as head coach in 2004 and took the same position with Stanford in 2007. 

The 49ers hired Harbaugh as their head coach in 2007. He was fired in 2014 and hired as head coach at Michigan. 

During his four years with the 49ers, he led them to a record of 44-19-1 (69.5 percent), which included three playoff appearances and an NFC Championship.

At Michigan, Harbaugh’s teams have produced a record of 85-25 (77.7 percent). That includes a 2-6 record in bowl games and three trips to the College Football Playoff.
