Dawn Apontе’s Chargеrs GM intеrviеw: A hitch in Jim Harbaugh’s NFL aspirations?

There has been a lot of talk about Jim Harbaugh’s potential move to the NFL, with the Falcons and Chargers in the mix. However, a recent development might change things up as the Los Angeles Chargers interviewed NFL chief football administrative officer Dawn Aponte for the general manager position.

The Chargers are in search of a replacement for Tom Telesco and they have made history with Aponte, who could become the first female general manager in the NFL. Having served in her current role since 2017, Aponte’s journey from an accountant intern with the New York Jets to her current position brings a wealth of experience and a unique perspective, and she has a good work history with coaching giants like Bill Belichick. So, if Aponte becomes the Chargers’ GM, there’s a high chance that they might opt for Belichick as the HC.
