Jim Harbaugh wasn’t kidding when he said he would “Jim Rockford it for the next couple of months” after becoming the Los Angeles Chargers’ head coach in January.
In the first two months since his return to the NFL, Harbaugh has lived in an RV in the Los Angeles area, neighboring with new Chargers offensive coordinator Greg Roman.
“It’s been great,” Harbaugh told reporters at the NFL’s league meetings about what his first two months on the job have been like. “Just being myself. I always wanted to do that [and live in an RV]. It worked out great. I’m 100 feet from Greg Roman, who has a really, really good RV.”
Harbaugh indicated that he might live out of an RV when he was introduced as the Chargers’ head coach in January, citing Jim Rockford on “The Rockford Files” as an influence.
“My favorite show growing up is the ‘Rockford Files,’ Harbaugh said. It’s still my favorite show. ‘Ted Lasso’ has now tied the ‘Rockford Files.’ That was me as a kid.

“I want to Jim Rockford it for the next couple of months until we move into the new facility. I have that thought going through my head.”
Harbaugh’s brother-in-law apparently helped his dream become a reality. After Harbaugh stepped down as Michigan’s head coach to become the coach of the Chargers, his brother-in-law drove the RV he’s lived in down to the Los Angeles area.
Similar to the Michigan teams he coached in recent years, Harbaugh’s RV doesn’t seem to be too flashy.
“In the RV world,” Harbaugh said. “I’m not as fancy. My Ford Motorcoach hits me just right. It’s been awesome. Yeah, it’s been really good. I go back there, it’s a good time to think. It’s just been great.”
