Let's Go To The Beach, Beach!

Wow, wow, wow! What a Wednesday!

What’s Thursday going to look like? We’ll tell you!

It will be in the 60s in Los Angeles today and in the 70s in the next few days. Things are looking good in LA.

We just picked another random spot in the US and landed in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It will be in the 30s there, and that’s just enough to shock you when you wake up.

The only other thing that might shock an Ann Arbor is that Jim Harbaugh is heading to the 60-degree weather and will be coaching the Los Angeles Chargers in 2024.

Let’s dig into this and a few other topics in the world of sports.

The Coaching Carousel Continues

You can’t stop the revolving doors of the coaching carousel. College program to college program, college to the NFL, NFL to college, it doesn’t matter, you can’t stop it.

Another Harbaugh Homecoming

The Los Angeles Chargers have hired Jim Harbaugh to be the team’s next head coach. Harbaugh has reportedly agreed to a 5-year deal with the team.

Team owner Dean Spanos has said, "Jim Harbaugh is football personified, and I can think of no one better to lead the Chargers forward,"

Harbaugh has found himself reunited once again with a former team of his. He played for the Chargers in 1999 and 2000, albeit it was when the team was in San Diego, and everyone liked them a little more. This isn’t his only homecoming, if you’ve been paying attention at all you already know that Harbaugh spent nine years at Michigan and capped of his Michigan coaching career with a National Championship.

After completing his mission at Michigan, you had a feeling Harbaugh was going to return to the NFL in an effort to win a Super Bowl and, umm, let’s not forget, not have to deal with the NCAA. Harbaugh previously served as the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers from 2011 to 2014. He led the Niners to a 44-19-1 record and three consecutive NFC Championship Game appearances and made it to Super Bowl XLVII, but Jim lost to his brother John, who coaches the Baltimore Ravens.

Who’s got it better than Jim?

Other Hires Around The League

🏈 Bengals OC Brian Callahan has been selected as the next head coach of the Tennesse Titans.

🏈 The Green Bay Packers have fired their defensive coordinator, Joe Barry. He spent 3 seasons in Wisconsin, and statistically, his unit finished in the middle of the pack this year.

🏈 Vic Fangio, DC for the Dolphins, has reportedly come to a mutual agreement with the Dolphins and will be parting ways. The Eagles’ are the front-runners to land Fangio.

🏈 Kliff Kingsbury is still in the news and interviewing for multiple OC positions. He’s being considered for the Raiders and the Eagles vacancies.
