Tracking Harbaugh’s brief coaching stints in the past, Williams raises questions about the longevity of his tenure with the Chargers. Amidst such uncertainty, she issued a bold warning for Kansas City Chiefs, the reigning AFC West champions. She asserted, “I think that’s the question is how long is Jim Harbaugh gonna stay with the Chargers? How long is this going to take and how long is he going to stay to do it that’s kind of been his history to move on after X number of years at wherever he’s been so. But I do think the Chiefs should be put on notice.” Since the Chiefs and Chargers are playing in the same division that is AFC West, hence Willaims raised this alarm.

Right during his introductory press conference, Harbaugh confidently asserted the need to restructure the Chargers’ coaching roster. In his speech, he mentioned his aim, “Getting this staff, putting this staff together. We want an all-star staff that’s worthy to coach our players.” As promised, the coach has made multiple changes, by recruiting the offensive coordinator Greg Roman, defensive coordinator, Jesse Minter and special teams coordinator, Ryan Ficken to guide the Chargers on the right path.

He has also stepped beyond the coaching roster to revamp the players’ setup. Harbaugh has adjusted the lineup by adding tight end, Hayden Trust aiming to bolster their offensive line and contend in the AFC West. Complementing Hurst’s depth and versatility, the Chargers’ new HC signed former Seattle Seahawks player, Will Dissly.
