Avast, ye scallywags! Word on the seven seas be that Jim Harbaugh, a seasoned buccaneer of the pigskin, be returnin' to the NFL! He be signin' a pact with the Los Angeles Chargers to be their next captain. Shawne Merriman, another fearsome matey, be sharin' his thoughts on the matter. Arr!
Merriman, who played for the Chargers when they were in San Diego, stated that Harbaugh to the Chargers was an obvious choice. Harbaugh already had a relationship with the Chargers and had publicly praised quarterback Justin Herbert. Furthermore, Harbaugh was looking to make the jump to the NFL, and the Chargers provided an established team with underperforming superstars.
Merriman emphasized the need for the Chargers to improve their defense and establish an identity on that side of the ball. The team struggled in points allowed and yards allowed rankings in 2023. He suggested that bringing in coach Mike Vrabel as defensive coordinator would create an "ultimate all-star team" coaching staff.
When asked if he would consider a coaching job if Harbaugh offered, Merriman explained that he currently doesn't have the time to dedicate to such a position as he is focused on his upcoming MMA event.
In conclusion, Merriman is pleased with the Chargers' decision to hire Harbaugh and believes the team needs to strengthen their defense and establish a clear identity. He also suggests the possibility of bringing in Mike Vrabel as defensive coordinator. However, Merriman himself is not currently available for a coaching role due to his commitments to his MMA career.
