Jim Harbaugh is back. However, only time will tell if it is better than ever.
The former Michigan coach will walk the sideline in Chargers blue in 2024, returning to the professional game after 10 years away.
Harbaugh hopes to take the Bolts to new heights during his five-year contract. However, he certainly has his work cut out for him in year one.
Los Angeles is a team that lacks edge right now. Harbaugh’s arrival, despite all the fanfare about him, represents the beginning of a long and arduous process. That action seems even more threatening considering the Chargers have to watch Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs twice a year.
Still, every journey begins with a single step. Harbaugh’s latest stint in the Sunshine State begins with a bang, with Los Angeles’ 2024 schedule dotted with major matchups, including one that could have serious implications at the family table.
Here’s a look at what awaits Harbaugh and the Bolts in 2024:
Chargers Calendar 2024
We still don’t know the dates and times of each Chargers game in 2024. However, we do know who they will face.
After finishing last in the AFC West, Los Angeles will face a field of teams at home, hosting teams that finished 2023 with a record of .500 or better in seven of their eight home games.
The pick of the bunch when it comes to Bolts home matchups is a matchup with the Ravens and brother John Harbaugh, setting up the first Harbaugh Bowl (HarBowl?) since Super Bowl 47 in 2013.
Los Angeles receives an easier test in its nine road games, traveling to face the Patriots, Cardinals and Panthers, among others.
Ultimately, Harbaugh and the Bolts’ prospects likely lie in their divisional matchups. Although Kansas City is ahead, the Raiders and Broncos weren’t infallible in 2023. If 2024 proves the same for both sides, maybe Harbaugh and his Chargers can make some noise.
