The Los Angeles Chargers arguably made the biggest splash of the coaching hiring cycle by landing Jim Harbaugh. The 60-year-old head coach is no stranger to the NFL, having spent four years with the San Francisco 49ers prior to his recent stint leading the University of Michigan Wolverines.

Harbaugh led the 49ers to the postseason in three of his four years on the sidelines. San Francisco advanced to two NFC Championship games during Harbaugh's tenure and advanced to Super Bowl XLVII, where they suffered a 34-31 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, coached by his brother, John Harbaugh.

The Chargers and Ravens both play in the AFC, and the teams are scheduled to go head-to-head at some point during the 2024 season.
