Chargers linked to huge Jim Harbaugh coaching change amid 2026 collapse
This would be a huge decision for the Chargers to make after the 2026 season.
The Los Angeles Chargers, currently winless with a 0-6 record, may face a significant coaching change heading into the 2026 NFL season. ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler suggests that if the team continues to struggle, Jim Harbaugh could be fired. While Harbaugh and the Chargers' head coach Mike McDaniel could potentially work together, the team's dire situation may necessitate substantial changes.
The Chargers' offensive struggles, with quarterback Justin Herbert looking diminished, and the team's overall performance have raised concerns about their future. The organization is unlikely to retain a coach who brings in minimal revenue due to the lack of ownership of their home stadium. With a potential 2026 collapse on the horizon, the Chargers might need to explore drastic measures, such as trading players or giving Herbert another chance under a new head coach.
The situation has become so dire that it wouldn't be surprising if Harbaugh's firing becomes a reality, despite it not being a typical move for the Chargers.
