Jim Harbaugh is a gift that keeps on giving. The National Champion’s journey with the Chargers has started on a high note, and there is optimism in LA since he rolled into town in his RV. The former 49ers coach was also back with his quirky analogies while discussing the Bolts’ first day of training camp.

Harbaugh remarked that their day got off to a great start, describing it as a new beginning and the start of something fresh. He also said that returning to the NFL from college after such a long time felt quite different and that there were changes he was still getting used to.
He then awkwardly stated that the feeling is similar to a newborn leaving its safe place by pushing its way out of the womb:
“There are definitely changes, but yeah, the way it feels, feels like New Year’s Day, feels like being born, feels like coming out of the womb. It’s like you’re in there and it’s comfortable and safe, but now you’re out, you’re born and lights are on.”
“Feels like being born. Feels like coming out of the womb.”

Netizens found Harbaugh’s remarks a bit weird, with a few flocking to the comments and describing him as the unusual guy who, intentionally or not, always cracks up the crowd. See for yourselves:

It’s also worth mentioning that the Chargers, under Harbaugh, are on the path to new beginnings, having made a pricey move from their old training facility to a new one.
Chargers Inaugurate Their New Facility With Coach Harbaugh
On July 11th, the Chargers unveiled their new training facility, ‘The Bolt,’ in El Segundo. Spanning over 150,000 square feet, it includes three practice fields, state-of-the-art meeting rooms, training and recovery areas, a weight room, a coaches’ lounge, and a locker room.
The locker room, which can accommodate 104 players, includes lounges and an indoor/outdoor weight room. The facility will also feature a two-story auditorium with a capacity of 173 that will serve as the full-team meeting room.
The third floor is reserved for the club’s executives, corporate partners, and fans seeking a luxurious experience. This $250 million investment is conveniently located just seven miles from SoFi Stadium and minutes from Los Angeles International Airport.
The franchise is undoubtedly moving in an upward direction, and there’s a sense of optimism about these changes. Many new players have joined this summer as the club aims to make the playoffs in Harbaugh’s first season in charge. However, only time will tell if this investment proves to be prudent.
