Jim Harbaugh’s first NFL meeting is set to take place in the matter of days.
Harbaugh has a meeting scheduled with the Los Angeles Chargers this week about the team’s head-coach opening, a person familiar with the situation told USA TODAY Sports. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to disclose the team's intentions.
NFL Network was the first to report the news.
The Chargers are the first team Harbaugh is meeting with during this year’s head-coaching hiring cycle. He spoke with the Denver Broncos last year and the Minnesota Vikings in 2022.
Harbaugh is coming off a national championship victory at the University of Michigan. The 60-year-old coach has spent the past nine years with the Wolverines, compiling an 89-25 record in that span.

Prior to becoming Michigan’s head coach, Harbaugh led the San Francisco 49ers for four seasons. He produced a 44-19-1 record and led San Francisco to an appearance in Super Bowl 47. He has also had coaching stints at University of San Diego and Stanford University.
Harbaugh was a quarterback for the then-San Diego Chargers from 1999-2000.
The Chargers are searching for a head coach and general manager after they fired head coach Brandon Staley and general manager Tom Telesco on Dec. 15.
The team has already spoken with former Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier, Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald, Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken, San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks and Las Vegas Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham. Two in-house candidates in interim coach Giff Smith and offensive coordinator Kellen Moore also have interviewed for the position.
The Chargers, Raiders, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans and Washington Commanders all currently have head-coach openings.
