NFL Rumors: Jim Harbaugh Eyed Bears, Raiders HC Jobs Before Joining Chargers

After winning a national championship at Michigan last year, Jim Harbaugh landed a head coaching job with the Los Angeles Chargers and has gone on to put together a solid season.

But two teams were reportedly in the mix to hire him before the Chargers did.

NFL insider Michael Lombardi confirmed a report that Harbaugh was interested in the Chicago Bears and also noted that he eyed the Las Vegas Raiders coaching job.

"There were two teams that Jim Harbaugh would have loved to work for last year," he said on the Pat McAfee Show.

"The Bears, who he played for and was the [first-round draft] pick for, and then the Las Vegas Raiders, who he worked for in his first coaching job.

Neither team decided to go after him.

Why, I don't know." This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis.
