Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh (-500) is now a massive favorite (via BetOnline) to become the Chargers’ next head coach.
Harbaugh completed his interview with the Chargers on Jan. 15. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that a decision on Harbaugh to the Chargers is “not expected to be imminent for either side.” The Chargers are still going to interview other head coaching candidates.
Harbaugh is also keeping his options open. The Michigan coach recently completed an interview with the Atlanta Falcons for their head coaching position.
Harbaugh is coming off a perfect 15-0 season with the Michigan Wolverines, which ended with a National Championship. Harbaugh previously spent four seasons in the NFL as the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers (2011-2014), reaching three NFC Championship Games and one Super Bowl.
