Jim Harbaugh agreed to become the Los Angeles Chargers head coach on Wednesday, and while it brings about many questions about the future of the team, an interesting question about his coaching staff arose.

NFL insider Mike Florio wondered whether Colin Kaepernick could join Harbaugh’s coaching staff in Los Angeles. Florio pointed to the pair’s history with each other with the San Francisco 49ers and Kaepernick’s 2022 appearance during the Wolverines’ spring game.

Harbaugh also considered bringing Kaepernick onto his staff as the quarterbacks coach if he got the Minnesota Vikings head coaching job, according to Pro Football Talk in April 2022. It involved the free-agent quarterback abandoning his pursuit of returning to the NFL as a player.

Kaepernick recently endorsed his former coach before he decided to take the Chargers job.

"Harbaugh is the one coach you call when you want to compete for a championship. Period," he told USA Today.

In 2020, Harbaugh told The Athletic it was "absurd" Kaepernick did not have a job.
