Schultz: Jim Harbaugh Moves 2nd Falcons HC Interview amid Chargers Rumors

Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh won't interview with the Atlanta Falcons on Wednesday amid rumors intensifying regarding an agreement with the Los Angeles Chargers, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz.

Schultz cited a source who said a second meeting between the two parties is "being moved for now."

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported Tuesday that Harbaugh and the Chargers "are now in striking distance of getting a deal done."

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport provided an update Wednesday:

Until he formally agrees to a deal with Los Angeles, there's little harm in the 60-year-old still entertaining interest from other teams. It shouldn't scare off L.A. given Atlanta's pursuit was already known, and the Falcons might be prepared to offer more than he was expecting.

Harbaugh's planned interview also comes as their interest in the coach presumed to be the leading candidate appears to be waning.

The Athletic's Josh Kendall reported Tuesday that Bill Belichick "has lost momentum in the past week" in Atlanta's search. That's quite the change from Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports citing a source Sunday who said team owner Arthur Blank "desperately" wants the eight-time Super Bowl champion.

The Falcons had a second interview with Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris on Tuesday, and more coaches along with Harbaugh are expected to speak with the team this week.

All things being equal, Los Angeles is a more attractive opening than Atlanta. The Chargers have a more solid foundation overall, and the presence of star quarterback Justin Herbert gives them a clear leg up on the Falcons.

Nothing is done until Harbaugh signs on the dotted line, but it looks like he'll wind up in L.A. when the dust clears.
