5 things to know about Chargers hiring Jim Harbaugh, plus who has the edge in AFC and NFC title games

Welcome to the Thursday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!

It’s official: The Harbaugh brothers are taking over the NFL. Not only do we have John Harbaugh coaching in the AFC Championship this week, but we also have Jim Harbaugh making his return to the NFL after nine seasons away after he decided to take the Chargers job on Wednesday. 

We now have a guy who only knows how to win going to the organization that always finds a new way to lose, which means this is going to end one of two ways: Either Harbaugh is going to win a Super Bowl in L.A. or the Chargers are going to chew him up and spit him out like they’ve done with every other coach in franchise history. 

We’ll be taking a closer look at Harbaugh’s hiring in today’s newsletter, plus we’ll be looking at who has the edge at each position in both the AFC and NFC title games. 

Also, the Carolina Panthers made a coaching hire just as we were sending the newsletter out and although we won’t have much on that today — bad timing, Panthers — you can read our full story here. The Panthers went with Dave Canales, which wasn’t a huge surprise. The former Buccaneers offensive coordinator spent eight years in Seattle with new Panthers general manager Dan Morgan, so there was a lot of familiarity there. 

Anyway, here’s your daily reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the newsletter. To get them signed up, all you have to do is click here. Let’s get to the rundown.
