Jim Harbaugh meeting w/ LA Chargers Today(1/15)
- Thread starter ROFL_GUY
- Start date
Good luck to him.
A few coaches have struggled at the NFL level, gone to college and had success, then returned to the NFL and won.
Off the top of my head, Pete Carroll is one of them.
Maybe Harbaugh does the same.
I'm not saying Harbaugh was a bad coach with the 49ers. He went to SB and reached 2 conference championship games. But things were trending in the wrong direction in 2014.

One of the more sneaky, "trap" coaching jobs right now.
Tough division, tough contracts and high expectations.
As a coach you don't even know the GM you'd be reporting to yet.

One team who can put two losses on your W/L column when you're fighting for a play-off spot.
When you've been a fringe play-off team like the Chargers that's enormous.

Which still doesnt make it a tough division
And KC on the down swing so even that is debatable

How many divisions are really tougher who are looking for coaches?
Outside of the AFC South (Titans) I don't see a clear cut tougher division for a coaching vacancy.
NFC West (Seahawks) is like the AFC West: Stafford and Donald will retire soon, 49ers window is closing.
NFC South (Panthers and Falcons)? Nah, not for awhile.
NFC East (Commanders)? Nah, Eagles and Cowboys will start downtrending.
No one will expect you to do anything or build something special in the other divisions for awhile.
The big difference on the Chargers?
You're not a bigger star or more important to the team than Justin Herbert.
The fanbase with Herbert (who is deemed a better Josh Allen) will expect immediate high-yielding results.
You better be in that AFCCG in 2 years type of results.
Those are expectations by our own fanbase or you'll be "wasting Herbert's potential".
Justin Herbert will be 29 in 3 years and if there is no Super Bowl appearance as that arm starts fading, you're basically getting ran out.
If that shyt ain't going right they'll get rid of Harbaugh for Herbert in a similar fashion how we wanted new coaches for Rivers.
It's literally a "win now" job with a franchise QB going into their prime, but with bad contracts and a roster that finished bottom 5.
Now imagine that pressure going against Andy Reid/Mahomes, Sean Payton and whoever the Raiders hire (maybe Mike Vrabel).
It's very much a high pressure, trap coach job.
