John Harbaugh warns rest of the NFL to brace for brother Jim’s return

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh had just two words for reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis on Tuesday when discussing the NFL return of his brother Jim, who’s the new head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers.

“Buckle up,” he joked with reporters at the NFL Combine, via MLive.com. 

The elder Harbaugh was of course poking fun at his little brother, who has a reputation for being one of the more intense and competitive head coaches to roam an NFL sideline.

The 2024 season will mark Jim’s return to the NFL after a nine-year hiatus. In four seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, he compiled a 44-19-1 record and led the team to three straight NFC Championship games.

“Every day I’m there in the morning, coming into his office and you feel the energy,” Chargers GM Joe Horitz said. “Our players feel it. Our coaching staff feels it. He walks into the draft room where we’re in meetings and scouts feel it. It’s exciting.”
