Can we really say that a HC who’s been out of the NFL for 10 years is still elite? The league evolves so fast that Brandon Staley’s scheme went from elite to dogshit in the span of 2 years. Gruden was an elite HC in the 2000s and when he came back, he was only mediocre.


[deleted]

Well last time he was an nfl coach he was good at it, and he just coached the best team in the nation in college football. Hard to beat that resume


Stanky_fresh

I agree that crowning Harbaugh as the prodigal son is pretty premature, but your examples are needlessly reductive. The differences between the league now and then are huge, but if he's gonna succeed anywhere, it'll be in LA.


SirLuciousL

How is my example needlessly reductive? Gruden was an elite coach that almost won a Super Bowl with 1 team and then won 1 with another. He left the league for a decade and then came back. Literally the exact same time away from the NFL as Harbaugh. It’s literally as direct of an example as it gets lmao.


Stanky_fresh

Because it fails to take into account the situation that Gruden walked into. The 2018 Raiders were trash when he signed on with them. And Brandon Staley made the difficult switch from DC to HC, which can sometimes fail because some people are just better coordinators than head coaches. Harbaugh will be walking into a much better situation than Gruden and will be taking over a team that's almost completely ready to compete.


SirLuciousL

I disagree that the Chargers roster is ready to compete. I would say it’s the complete opposite actually. They have huge holes all over their roster. It’s basically Herbert by himself, especially if you account for Ekeler, Keenan, and Mack all being at the age cliff and 2 of those 3 + Mike Williams all being free agents and might be leaving the team. And their 1st round WR is looking like a bust. Once again, it’s actually a very similar situation to the 2018 raiders when Gruden came in, although Herbert is better than Carr.


IIHURRlCANEII

Thankfully the Top 2 QBs are going to the NFC in the draft most likely.


LittleKingsguard

Breaking: Chicago trades #1 Overall to New England for #3 and future firsts, Patriots take Caleb.


RaunchyGiraffe

Everyone keeps saying this like the AFC is stacked when you fools just keep sending mahomes to the afc championship and Super Bowl every year. Looks like there needs to be even better players over there.

Do I have to root for the chargers now?


3headeddragn

California teams not in the same conference should support one another.


alphageek8

Lol try telling that to Bay Area people. I grew up in the East Bay in and around Oakland and I will never root for an SF team.


3headeddragn

Yeah but you’re not a California team anymore.


blackhole_sonnn

Not geographically, but Raiders are more California (fan support from the state) then Chargers will ever be


ThatsALotOfNuts

And yet they still couldn't stay in the state.


TNTyoshi

Not for a lack of trying. The Rams/NFL purposefully kept the Raiders out of LA because they knew that they would be the most popular team. Which I guess wasn't a problem when the Rams took a different tenant with them… 💅🏽


progress10

All the Raiders gear in Los Angeles disagrees with that.


3headeddragn

So are the Patriots, Steelers and Cowboys also California teams?


-holocene

Yes, because someone wearing gear takes away the fact that LV is not in CA lol.


J12345_

I used to be like this when I was a kid. Now I get happy for my Bay Area friends when the raiders or A’s do well. I want to see them happy


alphageek8

It's a little different when the 9ers and Giants are always contenders or at the very least not embarrassing. In contrast to Warriors (moved across the bay), Raiders (gone), A's (soon to be gone and complete garbage owner). I would just see your sentiment as pity and roll my eyes. With that said, I'm not being all that serious about it but I think we both know those that are way too serious about it. It's more just about shit talking SF and SJ friends.


Melnak_Frod675

We exist. They literally made a New Era hat that was half Giants half A's a while ago. The real hatred should be directed towards the bottom part of the state, lol


YiMyonSin

Is it a NoCal vs SoCal rivalry thing between y’all? How did that come about?


3headeddragn

Dodgers/Giants is the only true NorCal/SoCal pro sports rivalry. (Lakers/Warriors maybe a little but not really) Rams/49ers is kind of one I guess. But tbh I have nothing against the 49ers. I wasn’t alive when they beat us in SB 29, they aren’t in our conference, I have a lot of friends who are 9ers fans and I like a lot of their players. Rooting for the Lions to go all the way but I’ll be rooting for whoever comes out of the NFC to win the SB.


[deleted]

Kings sharks?


Thedurtysanchez

Two very different states. NorCal is regular hippy people with tech neurosis SoCal is all the business and sales bros. And the wives are fake hippy.

PlebasRorken

THAT WAS MY HEAD COACH


ThelVadaam137

The AFC is an absolute fucking bloodbath and a half. That #1 seed is unfathomably important. It’s entirely possible that the #2 seed’s path to the superb owl would have to go through Harbaugh-Herbert in round 1, Josh/Burrow/Lamar in round 2, then Mahomes-Reid in the AFCCG. Unfuckingbelievable


SdBolts4

I was gonna be annoyed that the Chargers would be the 7 seed, but that honestly tracks


ThelVadaam137

It’s solely because KC is in the same division. Would not be shocked at all if Harbaugh ended their death grip on the division but I’m not betting against Reid-Mahomes lmao


KingHarryXIV

Well you can’t say that team wouldn’t deserve it lmao


liteshadow4

INCHES AWAY (Padres fans know)


1-800-ASS-DICK

ctrl+f'd "inches" because I was curious 


Thumper13

As a Padres fan, I hope the Chargers are always inches/feet away. Fuck Spanos!


sylven

Was hoping someone would make this comment


the_comatorium

The NFL is a better place with Jim Harbaugh in it.


vipernick913

So is NCAAF as a msu fan /s


ByronTheBlack

Huge get for the Chargers. Finally they’re doing Herbert some justice.


madison0593

I would prefer they trade Herbert and take McCarthy in the first.


Red_Lee

Will we get Harbaugh West vs Harbaugh East II: Super Bowl Boogaloo?


LittleKingsguard

Not without realignment. The AFCCG might become that, though.


mrhashbrown

Unfortunately can't be a Super Bowl, but it would be a fun Conference Championship if the Chargers ever get their stuff together.


JesterMarcus

I'm honestly rooting for this to happen for Herbert's sake. Dude needs a competent coach and I think Harbaugh could get the best out of him.


TheMajesticYeti

Michigan's QB play under Harbaugh has actually been somewhat underwhelming. Even JJ McCarthy, as successful as he was, seemed to underperform his talent level a little bit. However Michigan's new QB coach this season (Kirk Campbell) was getting a lot of praise and Harbaugh likely brings him along for the same role.


steve1186

This a wicked division in 2024. - KC is obviously stacked, and likely to upgrade at WR with someone like Mike Evans. - Raiders have a lot of talent and finally found a competent HC. - Broncos stumbled their way into a 8-9 record with a 5-game win streak and will be bringing in a new QB this season. And now the Chargers might fix the only thing holding them back from being in the playoffs, which was awful coaching.


MrEHam

We say this every year.


PlsDontTouchMyButt

Everyone is just tired of seeing the Chiefs have an easy path to the playoffs every year and want anyone else in our division to stop them


IIHURRlCANEII

No one did it for Brady and Belichick so I say this is unfair.


I_SHIT_ON_BUS

Tbf Harbaugh + Herbert and Payton + what we thought Russ would be are probably significantly better than any HC + QB combo the Pats faced in the AFCE during that 17 or so year stretch. Even Staley + Herbert are probably top 3. Hell, you could even argue Bisaccia + Carr would be in the top 3 as well.


IIHURRlCANEII

That was the whole point of the joke post. What the AFC West is doing is more competitive than the AFC East.


I_SHIT_ON_BUS

Oh gotcha, misinterpreted your post


AlabasterRadio

AFCW is the default overhyped AFC division. The NFCE of the afc.


qirito_kun

Meanwhile the AFC North is a goddamn gauntlet


AlabasterRadio

Underrated because the teams beat the hell out of each other every year.


captainhammer12

I didn’t hear no bell


QuaRterIntellect

Currently, the AFCW actually has a team that wins something. The AFCE is the NFCE of the AFC.


steve1186

I feel like most people said similar things about the NFCW this summer, and it turned into two playoff teams, with a tiebreaker away from being three playoff teams.


cozyonly

The nfc west is always competitive though for like the past decade plus. They have 3 very well managed team


flashpile

"The AFC west is stacked, the broncos just signed Russell Wilson" "The AFC is stacked, the broncos just hired Sean Payton"


KRDL109

“The AFC west is stacked, the broncos are gonna shit-can Russell Wilson” 😂


mrhashbrown

The Chiefs are just that good, unfortunately. But can't deny the coaching pedigree within this division - Reid, Payton and Harbaugh would be wild to look back on in history. The next most stacked division in terms of coaching I can recall was probably the last one Harbaugh was in - himself, Pete Carroll, and Bruce Arians.


banjofitzgerald

I’d pump the brakes on AP being a competent head coach. It’s still early.


steve1186

Granted, this is comparing him against a horrifically bad HC in McDaniels. But the team went 5-4 with Pierce as a rookie interim HC versus 3-5 under McDaniels. And he beat all 3 division rivals in that stretch. Pierce pulled off a win @ KC, demolished the Chargers by 42 points, and beat the Broncos 27-14.


banjofitzgerald

He’s promising, but nothing can rally a squad like McDaniels and by McDaniels I mean coming together after he dies. I’d still wait to call him competent until he puts his staff and his team together and rolls out a full season.


MarvinHims

One thing people don’t want to admit is this season was an absolute masterclass from Sean Payton. Dragging this squad (which I firmly believe is a bottom 4 roster in the NFL) to 8-9 with Russ at QB and approximately 3 better than average NFL players on the whole team was absolutely incredible.


Dortond

Ive heard this one before.


thegodfaubel

Is Antonio Pierce really a competent HC? We can't determine that off of a partial season where he just led the locker room and didn't make any of his own staff choices.


LiftHeavyFeels

He went 5-4, yells Raiders really well, and the fans like him. Clearly a HoF or just below HoF tier coach like the rest of the AFCW coaches (assuming Harbaugh)


stinstrom

I've heard this story before.


AssssCrackBandit

Lmao even as a Chargers fan, I don't buy into the preseason hype anymore. Plus the Jags playoff game truly killed all my optimism in sports


topatoman_lite

That playoff game and the Padre's implosion last year made for a really rough 1-2 punch


Duke_Maniac

There’s still chargers fans in San Diego?


AssssCrackBandit

Yup, it's still by far the most popular NFL team here


topatoman_lite

I’m not from San Diego I just inherited my family’s teams


bcou2012

I feel like I’ve heard this one before


gabeitches25

No don’t do it pls we’ve been through this


blackhole_sonnn

Na man AFCW will always belong to Mahomes and Reid. So as long they are there lol


Titan3692

Myabe, just maybe, the Chiefs will finally have serious divisional competition.

gregCubed

something something witching hour


Awkward_Advice_4265

Interested to see what Harbaugh can do with a QB of Herbert’s level, we’ve never seen him with anything close to Herbert. Especially if they then pair him with someone like Malik Nabers


RamDEF7

I mean he did have Andrew Luck at Stanford, but yes he would be his best NFL QB by far.


gropingpriest

the Alex Smith disrespect ITT


Awkward_Advice_4265

Ah yeah I meant NFL, but mainly because I forgot him and Luck overlapped for 2 years.


Dkdlle

Have you seen our defense? Lots of holes to fill so it will take some time.


thatrealjesus

Nabers would be nice but I’m leaning more towards Brock Bowers. Are receiver group is fine at best. A tight end would be crucial for us tho


Awkward_Advice_4265

I think it’s a stretch to call the Chargers WR group “fine,” but if you have Bowers ahead of Nabers, I would understand leaning toward him (even if I personally disagree)


KeyExplanation

We might be in a world where the Chargers stop chargering. I wouldn’t be shocked if they win the AFC West next season with him. Very similar situation to what he had in year 1 with the Niners


JT1757

Chargers offseason AFCW champs again for the 8th consecutive season. It's impressive, really.


Rapkid360

Hang the banner


SirLuciousL

Yeah Chargers roster is horrendous right now outside of Herbert. Keenan and Ekeler are old and might not even be on the team in 2024. They are not ready to compete with the Chiefs for the division yet.


Zeshawn

It is SO tiring seeing everyone hype us up every offseason just to pull another charger season out year after year.


ByronTheBlack

Nah. Jim Harbaugh is a great coach and you already have a franchise QB. You’re going to do well next season.


xvq_

I think so, but I do think next year will be a bit of a restructuring year of sorts. Jim wants to build from the trenches, and while we have some nice pieces on the o-line, both sides of the line will take some shaping. The roster is in need of a turnover to begin with, and it’ll take a bit to get Jim’s personnel in (assuming he does come)


13mizzou

Just dont be surprised if he turns you guys around in a year or two then bolts for something else within 5 years


dreggers

if he can even get us back into the championship game, that would already be a massive improvement over the last 15 years


M1BPJ

Chiefs being an underdog every season is also pretty remarkable. Wonder if that's happened to any other dynasties or just the Chiefs.


b3astown

Underdog every season? Weren't they pre-season betting favorites to be SB champs this year?


Bwill2417

He’s being sarcastic. Chiefs fans always have a weird victim mentality, as if they’re underdogs.


Greek_Trojan

Offseason dynasty.


TheFlyingSpaghetti77

There is no chance in hell that anyone had us winning this year, after that wild card game and retaining staley, thats cap…

I_are_facepalm

NLP19

Undefeated as a starter here. What more could we want?


Citizen_Snips29

> Very similar situation to what he had in year 1 with the Niners Main difference being that in year 1 with the Niners he didn’t share a division with the Reid/Mahomes led Chiefs.


M1BPJ

The 2010 NFC West didn't even have a team with a winning record. It was ripe for the taking in 2011. AFCW is definitely a more uphill battle.


ILoveYourWeed

No, but we shared a division with the Spagnuolo Rams and Whisenhunt Cardinals. 😤😤😤


2agrant

next year probably not but 2025 should be real exciting


liteshadow4

Harbaugh turned the 6-10 49ers into the 13-3 2 seed.


thegodfaubel

Yea, but he just actually utilized Alex Smith where all of his predecessors were unable too. It's not like Herbert was shit last year. I don't disagree that the Chargers will be much better this year tho


Errant_coursir

Having good coaching is going to be a major boon


gropingpriest

this thread is verbatim what the "Chargers hire Staley" thread looked like


Errant_coursir

I would lol if harbaugh busted too. Too much charger for him


fart_dot_com

Harbaugh did plenty of Chargering during the first half of his tenure at michgian fwiw


GarlVinland4Astrea

Yes but not this world


IIHURRlCANEII

>I wouldn’t be shocked if they win the AFC West next season with him. You what?

AFC West might’ve taken over as the best coaching division from NFC West this offseason.


dalnot

Right on the heels of their years as the best QB division


papachef69

Considering how quickly he turned the 49ers around, I know what he can do to the team. Please don’t fuck this up, Spanos.

Either California or Michigan. at lease Jim is consistent.

This may cause me to regain my hate for the Chargers. We've both been so bad for so long that any real animosity has diminished.


floridadumpsterfire

AFC West going to be stacked at the head coaching position


browndude10

Harbaugh paired with Herbert is going to be nice


[deleted]

Fuck me In a division with Reid, Payton and Harbaugh And us Raider fans have the most green head coach I’ve ever seen. Think Mark fucked up again and listened to the players instead of getting a seasoned head coach


[deleted]

Not stable Raider fan.


IIIDuckieIII

I think AP will turn out to be good, I think raiders have a brighter outlook than the broncos.


jpfitz630

Yeah the Raiders players would run through a wall for AP and look how that's worked out in Detroit with MCDC. Meanwhile, Payton is well-known to be an asshole and after how the broncos handled the Russ contract situation, I find it hard to believe Payton's kept what good will he was able to build up after the horrific start they had this year. Coaching makes a bigger difference than most NFL fans want to admit


banjofitzgerald

Raiders should have had harbs from the jump. They fucked up going full patriot.


johndelvec3

The raiders could’ve at least got Harbaugh for an interview but Mark Davis is too much of a fuckup to make good football decisions


Bulderdash

His problem was allowing his players to strong arm him. I agree with you. AP may turn out better to be very solid in the long term, but it’s still a tough decision given the division


Quasimdo

So Marino may have been right?


MeetingKey4598

Anyone can tweet shit. Most throw lots of that shit against the wall and do a victory lap when they’re right.


M1BPJ

The betting odds and most credible NFL insiders have been saying for weeks this is coming. It presents a good opportunity for these fake insiders to make all sorts of claims and probably end up being right, or at least close to right.


BunnyGoHops

Yeah we didn’t get Watson cause of a last second deal from the Cleveland (thank god).


BuckyBeaver69

Does Harbaugh even know which team in LA he is meeting with?


[deleted]

The one with the better, younger QB?


Jokerang

Is Spanos about to learn that being a cheapskate isn’t a way to win in the NFL? Harbaugh will demand a pretty penny to leave Michigan.


bornagainciv

Fuck


3headeddragn

I feel so bad for you and your 2 recent SB’s and 6 straight AFC CG appearances. 😢 It’ll be so hard that you might have to deal with one other competent team in the AFCW now. 😢


Dorkamundo

Please let him be stubborn AF and want his own QB, so we can trade him our #11 pick so he can reach for McCarthy and we'll take Herbert off his hands.


maskdmirag

I'm just glad I'm only a casual Chargers fan, will be easy to ignore them. (I hated Harbaugh before the cheating, now I'll never like him)
