Remember the Chargers-Jim Harbaugh-Colin Kaepernick offseason rumors?
this past offseason when it was suggested head coach Jim Harbaugh offered former quarterback Colin Kaepernick a spot on his coaching staff.During an appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" this week, the former San Francisco 49ers passer shot down the entire storyline.of Fox News."I found out the same way everyone else did — on social media. I was like, 'Oh, I got a coaching offer.' No, no coaching offer.
"I have thought that for a long time. Just the respect that I have for the football mind he has and the football man that he is," Harbaugh said at the time, per the AP. Harbaugh reaching out to Kaepernick might’ve been simply due diligence. One look at his coaching staff with the Chargers says that—NaVorro Bowman, Jonathan Goodwin and Will Tukuafu are working under Harbaugh after playing under him in San Francisco. During training camp, Mike Iupati and Delanie Walker were coaching assistants, too.
Kaepernick, 37 in November, hasn’t played an NFL down since early 2017 and during his recent late-night appearance, he expressed zero interest in coaching. But given all of the above, it’s fair to wonder if this will be a recurring offseason rumor for the Chargers during the Harbaugh era.
