Chargers' Jim Harbaugh Attends Brother John, Ravens' Playoff Game vs. Chiefs

Jim Harbaugh will embark on a bit of a scouting mission in his first act as head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers.

Harbaugh is in attendance to watch his brother, John, lead the Baltimore Ravens against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC title game.

ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported Harbaugh would be in attendance.

Jim donned a Ravens had when he witnessed Baltimore's 34-10 win over the Houston Texans in the AFC divisional round. John was unsure how his brother will display his allegiances this time around.

"That's a great question. I actually thought about that," he told reporters. "Will Jim be wearing Ravens gear if he comes in for the game this weekend? I don't know the answer to that. We may have to require it, perhaps. It's a good question."

In addition to supporting his brother, Jim gets to see two teams on the Chargers' schedule in 2024. Los Angeles will meet Kansas City twice in AFC West play, and it's due to host Baltimore at SoFi Stadium at some point.

Many expected the 60-year-old to move on from Michigan after the Wolverines won their first national championship since 1997, and the Chargers made it official this week. They confirmed Wednesday they agreed to terms on a deal making him their next head coach.

Harbaugh takes over for Brandon Staley, who had a 24-24 record in L.A. and was fired midway through the 2023 season. Once Sunday's conference championship concludes, his focus will have to shift to his new job.

Schefter reported the Philadelphia Eagles are hiring Chargers offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, creating a vacancy near the top of Harbaugh's coaching staff.
