What Are The Expectations For Jim Harbaugh In His First Year As Chargers Head Coach? | Pat McAfee 

As a chargers fan , all I want is for us to figure out how to finish these close games. We have left so many wins on the field and that’s what we need Jim to fix. If we do that… I truly believe we can make a run

“people don’t care what you know , until they know that you care “😂😂 Pat for for president !!

Lmao them stopping to clarify RIP is hilarious

My buddy playes pro ball and passed but Harbaugh was his coach at Stanford... Harbaugh attended the funeral. Had nothing but great things to say about my buddy. Stayed around and mingled. Big fan! Plus Ive been a chargers fan for 30 years! So excited !!

I think bigger than anything else that needs to be talked about in every news place is the hiring of ben Herbert for strength and conditioning that’s just as big as the GM as a huge chargers fan I love the hiring of the strength coach

Listen to the difference between Harbaugh and Staley. Staley tries to sound confident whereas Harbaugh is confident period.

As a chargers fan, it was awesome hearing Pat say he love the Chargers...

“We want them to rest in Hell” LMAOO

I’m bolted up so hard right now!!⚡️🙏🏼

Why no one talk about how great his 49ers team was!

Charger fan since ‘92. I’ve seen the highs, the lows and super lows of this team! I’m ready for the super highs!!!

Hes already changing the culture in LA can’t wait for next season go Chargers!⚡️⚡️⚡️

The whole side clarification for RIP is the funniest thing ever man 🤣

At least over .500 for the first year. Second year I would expect getting to the divisional playoffs to be a good expectation

San Diego Super Chargers.⚡💪🏽💙

People really underrate the piss poor coaching job Staley did on top of team injuries. We should win 10+ AND a playoff game year 1 under Harbaugh

The whole comversation about who can and can’t rest in peace was great😂

Excited about this year first time in a VERY long time

Chargers have a rough cap situation next year. 45 million over the cap, 55 mil over counting the draft class, with 4 aging stars counting for 55% of the cap. Lots of dead money if they cut or trade them. I'd imagine next year is a reset then try to contend with the Chiefs in year 2.

Thanks for the love Pat, hardcore Chargers fan here. This was the move we needed to make. It’s time!

Year 1 wild ward card seems achievable.

10 wins is not out of the question. they won 10 in 2022 with staley. they lost games this year because of injuries, they have the talent.

Honestly, expectations shouldn't be too high. It's a new era. Things take time to stew. The big expectation is just fixing Justin Herbert, elevating him to where he needs to be so there'll be no more question marks surrounding him

I’m patient gotta give him time to build the team his way especially with all the cap issues we got

Love It Pat ThePatMcaffeeShow Bro Let’s Gooooooooooooo.

Can’t wait for the next season full faith in Harbaugh

“Jim harbaugh is one of one” as his brother and dad both coached successfully

DEAN THANOS... CHARGERS ASSEMBLE

The chargers have not had a coach like this in about 15 years!! This guy is different, he knows what Herbert is. He knows what to put together, he will figure it out and set the tone !!

42 year fan here. I cant wait to get this next season started

They about to be singing "He's Jolly Good Fellow" with the Chargeless. 😂😂😂😂 screw that team.

The Texans are proof that you can have a shell of a roster and compete immediately if you hit on a coach and have pieces in key positions like QB, LT, WR, EDGE and CB. LAC can strip back to become cap compliant and still compete next year with Harbaugh, Herbert, Slater, Allen, James and one of Bosa or Mack + a top talent with the fifth pick like Bowers or Nabers.

Man as a lifelong Chargers fan I am pumped for this! You hit the nail on the head “No Facade” just straight football. This is the complete opposite of Genius Boy Buzz Word Staley. The Bolts finally have a culture and that will bring the team back together after the Staley debacle. So excited to see how this team comes together and pumped for Captain Comeback to lead the team!!!

"i got so many sands left in the hourglass" ⏳

Personally, I'm surprised he took only $16m a year. Michigan offered $12.5m so we're talking only a 3.5m difference. And if he really wanted to stay I'm sure Michigan would of been happy to meet the Chargers offer. I think for a Club without an identity or a culture. Someone like Jim Harbaugh makes alot of sense. After all, he's all about team and culture ❤😂

Yup, ecstatic!!!⚡️⚡️⚡️

LFG ⚡10-7 or better would be dope, but with these cap issues TT left us with, I got temper my year 01 expectations

9 wins with a lot of roster turnover will be fine, as long as they look headed the right way and are a pain in the ass to the Chiefs in year 1.

10 wins minimum for Harbaugh as he’s a proven coach. I do believe he has the coaching, experience in the right places also (GM, Strength & Conditioning and DC) and the quarterback to turn the Chargers around quickly.

Bolt up baby⚡️⚡️⚡️ love this damn feeling

pat with the fresh black t. what brand is it??

This isn't Niners 2.0 ... filling the stands with more than 50% Chargers fans is going to be TOUGH

My personal "eye test" leads me to believe that Hebert will thrive in Harbaugh's system. We'll see soon enough...

Captain Comeback spikes the Lombardi trophy year one.

Harbaugh with J Herb + J Hortiz coming from Ravens Org + Jesse Minter who coach the national champion winnimg number 1 defense in the country coming to LA with Ben Herbert as our new S and C coach. Keep Keenan restructure his deal cut or trade Mike and Maxk and restructure Bosa who i think will turn into a different player with Harbaugh. Trade down and accumulate couple extra picks from an ATL or NYJ team and Draft Bowers, JPJ in the 2nd, and couple D lineman and a dog at DB like Sainristi and hit on a couple FAs and we more than good. We have an elite coch and qb, we will win at least 11-12 games in our first i truly believe that.

The chargers should have a lakers/clippers variant uniform. And the NBA team could have a chargers variant,cross promote

I say the chargers go to the divisional round atleast next year as the #5 seed.

BEST. SPORTS. SHOW. EVER. PERIOD.

HIM JARBAUGH! Can’t wait for. Ext szn and what he’s going to do to our Chargers⚡️

AFC west bout to be crazy in the next couple of years

As a fan of the iowa hawkeyes and a fan of the Chargers, im not sure how i feel yet

16-1 with a Super Bowl win

Remember Charger fans, 1963. Never forget

I think Ty is 100% right. The dude is a winner, with a QB and some weapons, so what he did with the 49ers, you expect him to win with the Chargers. I expect a winning record at minimum the first year, and if he doesn't get that but at least shows some promise, especially near the end of the season, then that will be acceptable, but second year he better be in the playoffs, and 3rd he should being winning playoff games and possibly a trip to the SB or very near.

I think 10-12 wins should be expected. Harbaugh has always been a good coach, and that roster has serious talent. They have the entire offseason for him to retool the roster, i'd be surprised if they weren't at least in the wildcard hunt.

A Consistent Winning Culture. Ans to Ultimately, Win THAT DIVISION

Chargers fan here and now.

Build the offense around the QB, he has all the tools to be a Superstar!

As a charger I'm not keeping my hopes up for the first year but I'm so damn excited

I just want us to draft, bowers and maybe Blake Corrum. So we can have a mean run and pound offense with options to sling it.

Harbaugh will win immediately and be in the super bowl by year 3. Theres already great pieces on the team and they did phenomenal in the draft

LFG Chargers so excited 🎉I’ve always wanted Harbaugh with Chargers since the whispering started! Harbaugh will take us to the promise land!!!!!!!

Bolts are goin to kill it in the next few Drafts!!…watch

Best time to be a Chargers fan in awhile

With the combination of harbaugh and deleting Staley, they have to have at least a playoff win as the expectation. Remember the owner fired Marty Schottenheimer for going 14 and 2 and losing in the first playoff game

I’m have no expectation for him other than feeling the team united and seeing the defense and offense keep it together through games. Also not constantly missed tackled and blown coverages.

As Harbaugh is my 49ers hand me down, it’s Super Bowl or Bust for LAC.

Hard Knocks Chargers preseason? I'd watch

They will go .500 next year, make the playoff the year after that, get to the AFC championship in the third year. Potential Lombardi in years 4-8.

Happy for the signing even as a raiders fan… thr biggest concern I see is cap hell

Go Jim! You do you! Lifetime Michigan fan. Thank you for everything! 🍻🍻🍻🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Ughhh the funniest part about the Chargers was their incompetence and inability to finish games. 😭😭😭

I trust that the team can get a minimum of 10 or 11 wins with Jim. ⚡️

If u have Herbert on offense with Mack on defense, a truly good coach would get at least 10 wins

High Expectations & everyone from team owners, other coaches, players, staff, fans, hosts of shows etc plus all the Michigan fans, players, alumni etc hell bring over and turn into chargers fans. Hes also an amazing person, great coach and theyre a pretty stacked team with potential, talent & new guys theyll get plus guys who will want to go there just to play for him and if they can come together & his program works there like it did at Michigan. It is cool to see how genuinely happy, excited & stoked he is to work with Justin, D James and the other all pro / pro bowl quality players that team has. I think they'll be a play off contender & have chance of the championship next year for sure with how he coaches, talks, treats people, football IQ, his resume & how good he is at turning programs around N into the #1 seed in the league etc.

It would genuinely be surprising if a chargers team with Herbert, Keenan Allen, Ekeler, Palmer, Bosa, and more led by Harbaugh don't get at least 2nd in their division. It's unrealistic to say they're gonna topple the chiefs dynasty but it would be embarrassing if they do worse than the broncos.

This year i hit 50 years as a Chsrger fan,i am from Eastern New Mexico , i think they were playing the Jets and my brother ssid i for them ,He is a Dallas fan so are all my other 5 siblings. I said i am for other tesm like there helmets. I never switched. Back then i could only score watch and read sports page ,and some times Monday night football half time highlights with Mr Howard Cosrll. Never in my wildest dreams if you ask me 50. Years later how many SuperBowls we had won that the answer would be zero. Now 57 . Being A Charger fan we must lead the fans in one thing and that is heart breaks. Last year at half time i felt that they were going to loose. I actually go up and left my house. JUST HAD THAT FEEL. UNFORTUNATELY i was right. Any wsy i am excided Lets seewhat happens

Not comparing Staley to harbough whatsoever but Staley was just as passionate and wasn’t out of the nfl for YEARS I’ll wait until cleats hit the field

Jimmy Johnson won a college championship and then won two Superbowls (well, really 3).

Imagine if this man goes back to back national championship/Super Bowl. Instant HOF

AFC West looking hot next year.

He better not bring “who’s got it better than us?!” to LA😂

He brought Kaepernick to the Superbowl, imagine what he'll do with a QB that actually knows how to throw

Getting a playoff win in the AFC is not gonna be easy. Just look at what happened to the Dolphins this year.

RIP!!!

I’m so happy to be a chargers fan, which is rare. We are a cursed franchise, but if one man can break it it’s harbaugh

I expect an undefeated season upto and including the Super Bowl. At least.

I’d think playoffs, I’m interested to see how many people he keeps from the chargers though

10/7 finals, i think doable. Herb has regressed but the guy hasnt had decent coach so hopefully he can return to form. Coaching never gets the credit it deserves. The cap isn't that bad but have to let 2 of the big 4 walk or trade. Williams and Mack rip i think thye keep Bosa and Keenan and Linsley retires they over the cap by 6 million, draft is 6 million according to over the cap , so if they want FA they have tweak contracts or cut a few more, i could see Kendricks being cut too.

I called it last year and it didn’t happen so I’m calling it again. Chargers vs Lions in the Super Bowl next year!

Herbert, Jim Harbaugh and his michigan staff, a Raven’s director as GM. Deep playoff run or BUST next YR

I expect us to finish 2nd in the Division w a wild card spot. If anything I’ll take being above 500. BTFU⚡️⚡️

I think the chargers legitimately have a good chance of making the AFC championship year 1. They’re a rare team where the talent doesn’t match or indiciate their record & results at all. The right coach would put that talent to appropriate use

Pat knows wassup with the Chargers social media team 🫡

Chargers need a couple of good, real running backs. Release their current backs. Get a center, a couple of real blocking, receiving tight ends and they're set. I agree with AJ. He said the Chargers have studs and they do. A little tweaking, hard work and this team is off and running.

Harbaugh Coached Andrew Luck in College. Herbert is the second best QB he has coached

I mentioned Justin Herbert. Listen to that and I think wow. My coach really has a lot of faith in me. Keep in mind just remember. It's only like 25 years old and Jim is 63 in just an nervous. Got a lot of years on him and stuff like that. You know I'm gonna say this. I'm actually pretty excited about the Chargers next season. Because I will have so much fate and Jim Harbaugh and Justin Herbert and everyone else surrounded him. I don't know, I think it's horrible. Really bringing a new culture to the chargers. Chargers, culture anyone.

He wasn't just a QB in the NFL, he was the QB for the San Diego Chargers! 💛⚡💙⚡🤍⚡💙⚡🤍⚡💙⚡🤍⚡💙⚡

The Chargers lost 7 games by 3 points or less, if Jim Harbaugh can’t overcome 3 points and flip 5 games in to wins? Then why hire him? Chargers had a coaching problem. So it’s entirely possible to be a wildcard team an win a playoff game in the next two years. They’ll need to some improve their personnel to a Championship.

Harbaugh need to clean house with al the players that didn't live up to their contracts. We know who they are. Bosa etc.
