This week, I spoke with new Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh about several subjects — both Super Bowl LVIII, and not, courtesy of Verizon, the official 5G network of the NFL.
Here’s what we discussed:
- Why it was time for him to return to the NFL for the first time since 2014.
- The responsibilities inherent in coaching a quarterback with Justin Herbert’s insane athletic potential.
- How much winning the National Championship with Michigan factored into his decision.
- Harbaugh’s thoughts on Brock Purdy and Patrick Mahomes.
- His remembrances of the Seattle Seahawks’ former coach Pete Carroll (against whom he battled at the NCAA and NFL levels).
- His thoughts on new Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald, who was Harbaugh’s defensive coordinator at Michigan in 2021.
- And of course, the Seahawks’ new special teams coordinator — his son, Jay Harbaugh.
