It has been widely anticipated that Jay Harbaugh, the son of newly hired Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh, will join his father’s coaching staff on the AFC West squad. A report suggests that may not be the case after all.
It was reported on Friday by Matt Zenitz of 247 Sports that Jay Harbaugh’s hire by the Chargers is not finalized. According to Zenitz, the Seattle Seahawks are considering employing him as well.
Since 2017, Jay Harbaugh has become Michigan’s special teams coordinator after working under his father’s direction for the previous nine years. When the older Harbaugh made the decision to leave Michigan and rejoin the NFL, the 34-year-old was anticipated to assume the same position with the Chargers.
In terms of appointing Macdonald’s new staff members, the Seahawks seem to be going all out. Though it might not seem like the biggest addition, persuading Harbaugh to leave his father and go with the Seahawks would be a declaration of purpose.
