Jim Harbaugh, head coach for the Los Angeles Chargers, has a job offer for former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. However, Kaepernick’s role wouldn’t be on the field. Harbaugh, who coached Kaepernick in San Francisco, wants to give the former quarterback a shot at coaching.

(@SaycheeseDGTL) August 14, 2024 Per USA TODAY: Colin Kaepernick has a door open to return to the NFL in what would be a grand reunion with his former coach, Jim Harbaugh. But here’s the twist: While Kaepernick, 36, recently told Sky Sports that he still wants to play in the NFL, the new Los Angeles Chargers coach contends that he wants his former quarterback back in the NFL as a member of his coaching staff – and not so much as a player. “If that was ever the path he was to take, I think that would be tremendous,” Harbaugh told USA TODAY Sports. “He’d be a tremendous coach, if that’s the path he chose.” During an interview following a training camp practice last week, Harbaugh said shortly after he returned to the NFL in January, he talked to Kaepernick about joining the Chargers in a non-playing capacity. Yet in the months since, there’s been no movement on the possibility. Harbaugh said Kaepernick is “considering it.” “He was out of the country. He said he was going to get back to me. We haven’t reconnected since then. That was early, early in the year,” Harbaugh said, according to USA TODAY. “We’re still training, still pushing,” Kaepernick told Sky Sports. “Hopefully, we’ve just got to get one of these team owners to open up,” he added.

His refusal to stand for the national anthem sparked outrage with the league that took significant time to subside. People simply do not like Kaep for many justified reasons. As I wrote Tuesday, these are a few quick examples: Refused to stand for the national anthem. Wore socks depicting cops as pigs. Praised Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. Compared police to slave catchers. Claimed cops get paid leave for murdering people. Compared NFL Combine to a slave auction. Why would the Chargers or the NFL want to potentially deal with the fallout that would come with employing Kaepernick?
