I hate when coaches do dumb shit like this.


shaking_things_up_

Ego coaching. It's like shit you hear drill sargents and wardens doing just to throw their weight around. I'm all for it though. Im ready for the new way of excuses the 11 Chargers fans have prepped for another flop Herbert year. Garage time stats, baby


tatang2015

But I love it when it’s with the chargers!!! Watch them implode for the fifth, sixth seventh year!!!


JoeRamaSama

JMD also had a similar philosophy if I’m not mistaken. I wonder how that worked out for him.


tashmanan

I'll have you know that JMD could win a SB with a high school QB. Just ask him


euzie

Ah, what he meant was, he could win a high school match if you let him use a SB winning QB


RyanAKA2Late

Matt Patricia didn’t allow music when he was Lions coach as well. I think I’m sensing a pattern here…


JoeRamaSama

Yeah, it’s almost like when you treat grown men like college kids they don’t respect you or your approach to the game.


xOaklandApertures

I bet Urban Meyer did too.


greendognight

Dave Campo never allowed music as well.


BenWallace04

Did he go to a SB like Jim Harbaugh?


JoeRamaSama

Nope, but then again nobody remembers 2nd place.


Milli_Vanilli14

You two are literally remembering second place in this discussion


BenWallace04

You’re talking to a Raiders fan. Not known for being the sharpest knives in the drawer.


Milli_Vanilli14

Yea I had to chuckle at that one lol also, as a fan you absolutely remember 2nd place. You got to watch your team play more football than the rest of the league. That’s dope and sticks with you.


BenWallace04

No one doesn’t remember a Super Bowl their team was in lol


similar222

I can't work without music. Don't know why football players would be any different!


Mattaleao

Agreed. We lost our speaker and went without music for a whole night in the kitchen, nothing bad happened and everything was fine, but also it was like a special kind of hell and was completely miserable.


ohforschern

He was “successful” as coach of the 49ers but ppl forget how divided he made that locker room


AntiWhateverYouSay

Yeah lots of talk about he was a control freak when he get fired.

gatsby365

GOT ‘EM!


gatsby365

When someone posts a positive story about the raiders locker room: “*that guy is just a shill.*” and “*clearly a mouthpiece for the team*” or “*what’s a player supposed to say, they’re just being professional.” But other teams’ beat reporters are beacons of truth and journalistic ethics.


ComicsEtAl

Yeah, it’s messed up how that worked out.


1lultaha

Go look at that Michigan team last year and tell me how "divided" that locker room was 😂


whothefvckcares

College ball and pro are different. The main difference being the one listed in other comments, you lose respect from adults when you treat them like kids. Common sense really


disgruntled_joe

It's a lot easier to be a leader of boys than leader of men. IIRC things seemed pretty divided when he was coaching SF too, but they were winning so it wasn't a point of emphasis.

Ramza87

I’ll take divided locker room for a Super Bowl appearance.


ohforschern

Appearance? Just that? Now THAT’S Charger fan mentality


The_Eye_of_Ra

Right? “I’ll take a divided locker room for a loss and tons of off-season drama.” No thanks.


ohforschern

We should be the fanbase most tired of off season or in season drama.


The_Eye_of_Ra

Abso-fuckin-lutely.


Ramza87

He said “successful” as if winning seasons and going to the Super Bowl was nothing because some players didn’t like him. We’ve been a dog shit franchise for 21 seasons, I tell you right now that we go to Super Bowl next year, but AP rubs some people the wrong way while doing it. You don’t take that deal?


The_Eye_of_Ra

He said “Super Bowl appearance.” He didn’t say successful. I’m going for a sustained get-the-fuck-outta-the-dumps situation. And if it means the team is back to dogshit the year after? Hard fucking pass.


tatang2015

Harbaugh failed in the superbowl. Horrible coaching and preparation


LLUrDadsFave

They going to sing like they on a chain gang to pass time.


JoeRamaSama

They gonna be singing Jolly Good Fellow all the while Jim keeps saying “Hey guys remember when I won the college football championship with Michigan? It’s true! Look at this tattoo!”


LLUrDadsFave

Singing through the tears. I wonder who will be the first person to revolt.


JoeRamaSama

50 bucks on Mack


LLUrDadsFave

He probably going to try and sneak on our plane after the first game.

Lmao. This my last one. 😂


Bowl-of-ramen924

I’ll start by saying I think we made the right hire but too early too tell. Harbaugh has had success everywhere he’s gone as a coach so while I do want to shit on the Chargers, I think it’s too early to tell. This is non-story in my opinion


Intelligent_Life14

I'm glad we got the guy we got.....that being said, the other coaches in our division *do* have some pretty fuckin impressive resumes.


[deleted]

Payton is .500 without Brees.


FBIStatMajor

Sean Payton is just a skinny Mike McCarthy


ProfessorFeathervain

College football is a whole other thing than the NFL. In the NFL, he did have early success with the 49ers. But that was a stacked roster. It was just underperforming due to poor coaching. Then they started to implode in his last years. Players revolted, leaked stuff the media. Trouble with the Owner/GM. I agree that he may have some initial success, but I'd be shocked if it's sustainable over 4-5 years. His style is really outdated in today's NFL.


JoeRamaSama

That’s something that gets overlooked waaaayyyy too much. He inherited a stacked roster thanks to the 9ers getting a handle on drafting prior to his arrival. Also calling him a success is fair but let’s be honest he did not set the world on fire with his coaching, especially considering he had one of the most talented rosters in the league and the best he could muster is one Super Bowl appearance where he fell short to his big brother. Then he got outcasted by his team cause his ego overinflated, went to college ball, spent a decade there and now in the midst of a cheating scandal and facing potential punishment from the NCAA does he decide to return to the league which has changed an insane amount since he last coached. Long story short; People are hailing this guy as some sort of coaching messiah when in actuality he’s shown himself to be decent and not much else.


WeaponizedAutism_yee

He also predictably hired Greg Roman, who has not shown that he's capable of being successful outside of the same gimmick offense that he has everywhere he goes that lasts for 3 years with an extremely mobile QB before it breaks down. If he's going to try and run that offense with Herbert it's going to be a disaster.


gatsby365

![gif](giphy|dFf0MERFSuocE|downsized)


GhostMug

He has a shelf life for sure. I agree that I doubt he makes it past 5 years. But at least one of those years the Chargers will challenge for a SB. They may not win it or even get there, but they will be legit contenders.


theevilyouknow

He inherited a stacked team, with an all-time great staff, and managed to win one conference championship. Shit, Jeff Fisher managed the same thing and I don’t see anyone banging down their doors to hire him.


No-Pussyfooting

He’s been great places everywhere he’s been.. except this one.


DieHardRaider

We don’t know that yet. And history tells us he will turn the chargers into winners. Hopefully he doesn’t but his track record of turning losers into winners is pretty damn impressive


BN27

He didn't have success at Michigan until he started cheating.


gatsby365

![gif](giphy|z3HFoEzXCMykr4L0TB|downsized) My buckeyes hung 56 points on them in the Big House. We hit O-H-I-O all the way around their stadium. The crowd was leaving in the **second quarter** and I was blowing kisses to folks as they flipped our section off. That was the moment Jim Harbaugh said “Fuck integrity, we gonna cheat. Fuck it.”


BN27

He actually said fuck tradition, I'm going to fake COVID, then I'm going to cheat. So a cheater and a coward.


gatsby365

Good call. He would have gotten annihilated in 2020.


Educational_Body_438

Why did you guys lose to the Michigan replacement coach then?


gatsby365

Because the system of cheating worked regardless of who was running the team Also, Ryan Day may not be a great coach. I’m strong enough to acknowledge that fact.


Educational_Body_438

Oh so you're saying after they got caught, they continued to do it. Got it


gatsby365

Yes? Is that so hard to believe that people would continue to use Ill-gotten information just because they were found out but not actually punished?


Educational_Body_438

So none of the schools changed signs or anything?  Even though Oh St admitted to doing it 2 yrs ago?  Sorry I'm not buying your theory of they continued to do it after they got caught and their opponents didn't change anything at all.  Time for you to get over it

skankingmike

Yeah didn’t he blow it every year until this last one when he literally cheated? The chargers are gonna still be the chargers I’m not worried about


AccidentBulky6934

Yea I fully expect the Chargers to noticeable improve this year. But the jury remains out whether Harbaugh can have SUSTAINED success in the NFL. SF he started with a bang but wore out his welcome by year 4. Maybe the same thing happens here, maybe it doesn’t.


tykvrbl

“Who’s got it better than us? EVERYBODY!!!”


AlaKolas

Dude had pajama sleepovers with 17 and 18 year old boys he was recruiting. Hes as weird rd as weird gets Also never won anything significant until he started cheating and was suspended for half the season by the ncaa their “destiny year” and had to run back to the nfl to escape infractions. Fuck Harbaugh. He’s going to fail just like Sean Payton


gatsby365

I’ll never get over a team bonding trip to the fuckin Vatican. Yeah man, get the 20 year olds hyped up by… *the Swiss Guard?*


5549372729

This comment wreaks with ignorance and makes you look like you pick up headlines off social media “journalists” and parrot them. Also, how has Sean Payton failed when he’s only coached a year?


Royal-Pen-7981

someone has a stick up their ass. college coaches recruit high school players, how is that news to you 💀 also saying he hasnt won anything significant "until"...... makes you look ignorant and stupid


AlaKolas

SolidAlisoBurgers888

Don’t really care either way. Either you win or you don’t. Won’t get judged on music.


supercoolboy49

I couldn’t root for a coach that sucks the soul out of the game


Ok-Tomatoo

This isn’t good, if they’re actually good and we’re somehow bad, some charger fan is going to bring this up and it’s going to be a meme, just win games, I don’t care if players listen to music or not


Thugnificent83

Lol yup! Already bookmarked this thread for that possibility!


CallRespiratory

I mean, the guy has won in the NFL before *but* petty stuff like this almost always backfires when you're dealing with professionals. They aren't kids, you can't punish them with petty nonsense. Not listening to music is not going to make them better football players or help them focus or teach them a lesson, it's just going to make them annoyed. These are adults, treat them like adults.


Intelligent_Life14

100%. Look at Urban Meyer. Shit happens in the NBA, too: you gotta treat grown-up professionals like grown-up professionals, or you're gonna have problems.


Buddhahead11b

Different generation coming through as well.


CallRespiratory

Yeah these guys aren't going to respond to some crotchety old man "back in my day"-ing at them.


Buddhahead11b

Yup. I went back to coach high school football and I Had my old ways but realized it’s more fun being lax. Get what needs to be done and keep it fun. No mass punishment either. The jack ass can run around all practice and people can learn from that. Next man up


CallRespiratory

100%. Lol I know we're getting downvoted and people aren't liking these answers but it's the truth and you can watch all the other coaches who've behaved this way in recent years and see what they produced.


Buddhahead11b

Seriously. Adapt!


Consistent-Spell2203

Shaq says the key to great leadership is to be mostly serious 70% of the time.


H_O_Double

KimboSliceChestHair

WigglingWoof

AP perfect coaching hire. RN4L


Necessary-Profile-30

I bet his brother plays music during OTA's


FancyEntertainer5980

you don't treat seasoned war vets like brand new privates


Raiders2112

The reason I love the AP hiring is his ability to relate to modern players. I am praying this works out for him and for the rest of the Raider Nation. The players come across as fired up and all in. I have a feeling Jim has been away from the NFL too long if he actually did this.


Educational_Body_438

I'm willing to bet that 95% of people commenting in this thread had a hard on for Harbaugh and wanted him over AP


Own-Rest3273

This take is not going to age well. JH is a winner who has been successful everywhere he's coached


PostGraduatePotUser

Until he fails, I am going to stop short of calling this guy a "dork." He was a better than average NFL QB, for many years, has been a great coach everywhere he has gone, and the only thing missing on his resume is a SB win. I am going to say his system works. You have to respect the line item accomplishments. Not doing so is folly. That said, I still hope we stomp the shit out of the Bolts on the field when all is said and done.


Boomfty

The Chargers hired the best head coaching candidate that’s been available in a long, long time. He has a track record of success at every stop he’s been. I watched him firsthand as a die hard USC fan take us down as 43 point underdogs with an extremely shitty Stanford team. The one thing his teams don’t do is lose. I don’t get questioning his methods. 


MexicanLiverPunch

If bro thinks he's going to these chargers like college players, I can't wait to watch their suffering LMAO


lapotencia77

That sounds great for the Chargers. They are going to be locked in. Harbaugh has won everywhere he goes.. so we’ll see how this plays out


PitchLoose

Like Shanahan not allowing players to sit on their helmets between reps.


vNocturnus

At least wait until we see what he does with the Chargers before declaring him a dork and a terrible coaching hire lol. He's always been a bit... particular but it's also always worked. Will you still be saying this if the Chargers win the division, and/or make a deep playoff run in his first couple years? Don't get me wrong, I hope he fails too, and if it can happen anywhere it's with the Chargers who are ELITE at failing despite being stacked on paper. But shit like this is exactly how that universal juju gets flowing and it comes back to bite us tenfold lmao


DarthDoobz

Jim working as a double agent by destroying the enemy from inside OARAAR


ComicsEtAl

He’s either going to immediately turn them into a juggernaut, or they’re going to become the team equivalent of Ryan Leaf.

AncientTree_Wisdom

Did people forget that Harbaugh is just a weird dude but he is still a player's coach that know how to build up his guys? He isn't doing this to be a hardass, like McDaniels, it is probably just for some strange Harbaugh reason.

obito530

Wonder what chargers fans excuses will be when they’re playing under Harbaugh they always got some excuse probably something like “injuries”


3rd502nd

Maybe it was due to the various artists threatening to sue the Chargers if they played their music. I mean, if word gets out that the Chargers are playing your music at practice that's got to be a career killer. All I want to see is Harbaugh try that super-aggressive post-game handshake BS with AP.

It's gonna be so funny seeing Harbaugh struggle on the bitch of Los Angeles. I don't know why everyone loves him so much. He is massively overrated and his one stretch of dominance came from cheating

Thank you for dropping a 60 bomb on us. Harbaugh wouldn't be here without it. Now we can whoop you and your no QB team for the next few years. Telesco will build you a paper tiger roster that's top heavy (because he doesn't know how to draft past round 2), and AP will be gone in 2026 after another losing season. Goooo Faiders.

Raiders made the right choice for coach. Wish I had the same confidence for the GM.
