With a new season in the store, there are bound to be coaching changes within the franchises. But this is the thing that few could have expected. Jay Harbaugh is all but set to join the Seattle Seahawks. Instead of his father Jim Harbaugh at Los Angeles Chargers.
After winning the College Football Championship last month, the speculations ran wild. It seemed almost every franchise was looking to hire Jim. And his son Jay was an afterthought, and it seems he is ready to step out of his father’s shadow.

Jay Harbaugh goes on his way
Father and son joined Michigan State in 2015. As Jim became the head coach for the Wolverines, son Jay took on many responsibilities. From tight ends coach and running backs coach, Jay also held the title of interim head coach for 3 games at Michigan.
Curveball! The Seahawks are working on hiring Michigan’s Jay Harbaugh as their special teams coordinator, per sources. So rather than join his dad Jim in LA, Jay Harbaugh will team up with ex-Wolverine staffmate Mike Macdonald in Seattle.

However, the position he is reported to be joining at the Seahawks is of the special teams’ coach. The same position he held for the longest in his 9-year stint with the Wolverines.
With only ink left to be put on the paper, Jay, just like his father, is ready to begin his career in the NFL once again. And the 34-year-old could be, for the first time, working solo, without the supervision of his father or uncle. And if he gets the chance to face any of them in the gridiron, he would be hoping for a result like the last time!
It’s a family affair
Before joining his dad at Michigan State, Jay worked under his uncle John Harbaugh. Jay was part of John’s coaching staff at the Baltimore Ravens. And he was there when his uncle defeated his dad to win the Super Bowl XLVII in 2013.
Now that he is set to venture on his own. He could be facing off against his father or uncle soon. He would want to come out of their shadow and be on top of them in future meetings. Do you think Jay Harbaugh will join the Seattle Seahawks and leave his father behind? Let us know your predictions.
