Jim Harbaugh is back in the NFL, back on the West Coast and back with the Los Angeles Chargers.
Just 16 days after leading Michigan to a 15-0 season and a College Football Playoff championship, the Wolverines’ first undisputed national title since 1948, Harbaugh has reportedly returned to the professional ranks and ended his nine-year tenure at his alma mater by agreeing to a deal to become the Chargers’ next head coach.
Before the Chargers even officially announced the return of Harbaugh, their onetime quarterback in the late 1990s, their social media team had a perfect response to the news, posting a pope-esque “white smoke” graphic followed by Harbaugh’s famed catchphrase at Michigan.
The Chargers then changed their profile picture on X (formerly Twitter).
Harbaugh’s candidacy was one of the biggest stories in both the NFL and college football worlds in recent days — one of the highest-profile and most accomplished candidates in this NFL coaching cycle joins star quarterback Justin Herbert in Los Angeles, while yet another elite-tier college football job is open.
