Column: Chargers want to finally make a splash? Hire Jim Harbaugh

LA Times  

Jim Harbaugh, who led Michigan to a national championship this season, has a proven track record as an NFL coach with a 44-19-1 record. The team has interviewed Jim Harbaugh, but it can’t make an offer yet due to Rooney Rule requirements. If Los Angeles’ most obscure major sports franchise wants to take advantage of their best chance to steal eyeballs, change perceptions and win games, they need to embrace all that is Jim Harbaugh. “Nooobody!” For all the baggage he will deposit on the Chargers’ carefully manicured front lawn — he missed two-thirds of last season at Michigan because of suspensions — Harbaugh represents everything their franchise needs after spending seven years stuck in a Southland haze.
