Video: Jim Harbaugh Eyes NFL Super Bowl with Chargers, 'Starstruck' by Justin Herbert

The opportunity to win a Super Bowl was too good for Jim Harbaugh to pass up.

During CBS' NFL playoff coverage ahead of the AFC title game, the new Los Angeles Chargers head coach said "there's no Lombardi Trophy in college football."

The 60-year-old added he's confident he can bring the Chargers their first Super Bowl title and went so far as to say he was "starstruck" when he spoke with quarterback Justin Herbert for the first time.

Even before he guided Michigan to a national title, it looked from the outside like Harbaugh felt he had unfinished business in the NFL.

He posted a 44-19-1 record in four years with the San Francisco 49ers and won an NFC crown in his second season there. His departure from the Bay Area after 2014 wasn't due to a lack of success.

Harbaugh's belief in his ability to win a Super Bowl is justified based on his first NFL go-round, and the Wolverines' triumph meant this was the perfect time for him to move on from Ann Arbor.

The Michigan legend succeeded in his quest to return his alma mater to the pinnacle of college football, and the Vince Lombardi Trophy is now the most glaring absence on his coaching résumé. He could potentially enter rarefied air with Pete Carroll, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer the only coaches so far who have won a national championship and Super Bowl.

The Chargers aren't in a rebuilding phase, and the presence of Herbert arguably made them the most attractive coaching vacancy in the NFL this offseason. But Los Angeles also has some areas where upgrades are desperately needed.

While hiring Harbaugh was a bit of a coup for the franchise, a lot of work lies ahead in the quest for a title.
