[@June-vs3jn]

He’s so happy when he mentions Herbert 😂

[@reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee2]

He seems ecstatic. A team with a lot of potential and a good QB with a high ceiling. I'll be rooting for him for the Super Bowl...but please, not against the Lions!

[@lopezklu]

he knows ball, he knows herbert is a goat

[@rushtunnelgolonga]

He sees his younger self reflected in Herbert. I'm talking about the grind, the obsession of football, and the love of pressure situations

[@thepikachuoftexas3871]

Hi Herbert! Harbaugh: MEOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

[@aiveryscheffer6170]

Cause he knows Herbert is gonna be his key to the Lombardi 😂

[@vvsbustdown743]

Jim got happy af when Hebert name got brought up 😂 as a chagrers fan i love to see it

[@shaheedharun445]

Herbert is the most overrated QB in the NFL

[@fuccckckkkkckkck]

I love his quirky energy, happy he is the coach of my favorite team. Been suffering since picking this team as a kid in 2006.

Chargers will charger, no matter who’s the coach 63-21🏴‍☠️ #neverforget

@@tripp8833you talk as if it’s a championship game! Lol it was a regular season game against a team who was done with Staley. That beating led the team to get Harbaugh so the Raiders kind of screwed themselves

[@stephenw8129]

I have not seen him this happy in a long time. As a Michigan fan, sad to see him go but appreciate what he built and accomplished. I hope he wins a SB. If anyone can turn them around it’s him.

[@gingermaynor495]

I don't think JH has been that happy in a long time and I forgot this is how he used to look when he started at UM. I think he is acting how good it can feel to start a new job and perhaps leave behind some old stuff that dragged you down. Hope he gets his SB.

[@Striker_67]

Wanna become a chargers fan now?

[@stephenw8129]

@@gingermaynor495 I think all the NCAA investigations and subsequent questions from the media probably wore him down. I'm sure he feels a lot more free to finally do what he does best as a coach rather than having to manage from behind the scenes.

[@gingermaynor495]

I totally agree. @@stephenw8129

[@oldflipgamer]

I’m almost 44 been a Chargers fan my whole life and I have not been this excited ever. Don’t get me wrong we’ve had good ones Bobby and Marty but with Jim I feel that with him having Herbie we’re gonna win big. Not expecting pay dirt in year one but by year two we should be knocking at the door and year two blowing it down. ⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@iwatchyoutube1346]

I’m 36 been a chargers fan since beginning of my 20’s and this is the best I’ve felt going into a season. I’m with you not expecting miracles but a playoff berth and split with the chiefs is not to much to ask considering what we have even if they cut a few players.

[@calebsmith4567]

Let down is in your future.

[@LathKunz]

Good for you I loved this dude when he was with the niners his very smart fella I'm pretty sure he'll turn the chargers round good luck next season we got Superbowl to attendant in few weeks bang bang niners gungs

I haven't been this excited since 2002 when we hired Marty Schottenheimer.

[@ekim4363]

Jim Harbaugh is an elite coach. 69% winning percentage with the 49ers and almost 78% winning percentage with Michigan. Also in his final season at Stanford, 12-1. Nothing left to prove at Michigan and time for him to try and win a Superbowl.

[@tripp8833]

Hah - good luck winning with the Chargers, who are a joke a and have zero rings 63-21🏴‍☠️

[@matushka78]

Jim was starstruck when he met Justin. He's gonna be thunderstruck in a few weeks when he sees him throw in person.

[@JohnBrad-zg3qs]

People say he’s leaving to avoid sanctions. He’s been wanting to win an SB in the NFL for awhile now. He did what he wanted to do at Michigan, so why not take a job with an NFL team that he once played for? And the NCAA said the national title game was won fair and square, so any punishments coming shouldn’t include vacating that game. Good luck Harbaugh! As a Tennessee fan, thanks for making Michigan relevant again. College football is better when they’re that way.

[@coltdogg392]

As a chargers fan…. WE ARE SOOOOOO BLESSED 🥹 ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@Rx79100]

God I love that 1995 AFC Championship game Harbaugh as QB against Cowher as a head coach. Really back and forth Hope to see Chargers in good position next year ( that's tough division )

[@ehuang2245]

He looks so energized

[@hayatorpg3896]

Pun intended or nah?

[@coppulor6500]

Washington fan here. I have this sneaking suspicion that fans of every team, outside of their division, also have a soft spot for the Chargers. Would love to see the chargers win one. woulda been nice if they were still in San Diego too but oh well. Also, how can you not like the Harbaugh brothers. great coaches.

[@taylorknight8375]

Whose got it better than us? Nobooodyy! As a patriots fan, I love the harbough brothers. Excited for Jim and can't wait to see what he does with that team.

[@christianvalentin5344]

If ANYONE can finally put the rest the term “Chargering” it’s Jim Harbaugh. It can be done. Once upon a time teams like the Patriots and Buccaneers were jokes, then came coaches like Bill Parcells and Tony Dungy who changed the culture. Lets go! Bolt UP!⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@josephluna7461]

Jim is gonna be a LEGEND

[@danig.barreto2030]

Chargers deserve an honest crack at the super bowl man. One of the original AFL franchises. So much history and so many elite hall of fame players have worn the jersey. It's time to solidify this franchise. For Seau for Lance for all the team greats. Let's go!!!!

[@iwatchyoutube1346]

Finally can say I’m proud that’s my coach. Let’s go Bolts!

[@steveskuras2515]

As a Michigan fan I'm sad to see him go but I totally understand his reasoning. I wish him the best, hope he wins a Super Bowl and I thank him for a phenomenal National Championship year!

[@jessev5761]

Screw Jim, hes not winning a Lombardi.

[@funkcakeband]

Dear Lord…he’s already right at home 😢 I can’t remember him sounding this at ease at a UM presser. Tells me something…oh well. I’ve said it a ton but I’ll say it: will miss you, Jim. Thank you for restoring Michigan to the top of the mountain. Go get your Lombardi!!

[@di114n2]

I thought so to . He seems much more relaxed and open

[@gingermaynor495]

UM fan here, but agree JH looks so happy. Makes me wonder how bad it got for him behind the scenes with the AD?

The Chargers were a little disappointing this season. Thought they would perform better. But with Jim Harbaugh as coach they should certainly improve. May need a little time getting his system down. But then he was a QB so Justin Herbert should be able to learn a lot from him.
