Chargers' Herbert: Harbaugh told team he remembers day he was born

It didn't take long for Justin Herbert to realize that Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh is no ordinary man.

Herbert told reporters Tuesday that he knew Harbaugh was different as soon as the 61-year-old told the team the story of his birth during the offseason.

"I think when he talked about remembering the day that he was born," the Chargers quarterback said. "Was probably the first day that ... he kind of told us the whole story and how he remembered looking out the window, and I think it was a cold, snowy day.

"I really hope he does remember that, that'd be pretty cool."

Harbaugh was hired by the Chargers in January 2024 after a nine-year stint as head coach at Michigan, where he led the Wolverines to three Big Ten titles and a national championship.

The Chargers finished the regular season 11-6 to secure the fifth seed in the AFC playoffs. They'll face the Houston Texans on Saturday in the wild-card round.
