ESPN and the AP confirm Pelissero and Rapoport's reporting from yesterday that Jim Harbaugh will meet with the Chargers this week.

It will be Harbaugh's first coaching interview since the Broncos vacancy in '23. He also interviewed with Minnesota in 2022.

The Chargers are looking for a new coach and general manager after Brandon Staley and Tom Telesco were fired on Dec. 15, a day after a 63-21 loss in Las Vegas to the Raiders.

Harbaugh, who previously coached the San Francisco 49ers, has ties to the Chargers and the Spanos family that owns the team. Harbaugh played for the Bolts in 1999 and 2000, before retiring after the 2001 season.

That is Harbaugh’s first meeting with an NFL team and there’s expected to be more unless the Chargers are able to close the deal before hand.
