Jim Harbaugh wasn’t kidding when he said he would “Jim Rockford it for the next couple of months” after becoming the Los Angeles Chargers’ head coach in January.
In the first two months since his return to the NFL, Harbaugh has lived in an RV in the Los Angeles area, neighboring with new Chargers offensive coordinator Greg Roman.

Harbaugh’s brother-in-law apparently helped his dream become a reality. After Harbaugh stepped down as Michigan’s head coach to become the coach of the Chargers, his brother-in-law drove the RV he’s lived in down to the Los Angeles area.
Similar to the Michigan teams he coached in recent years, Harbaugh’s RV doesn’t seem to be too flashy.
“In the RV world,” Harbaugh said. “I’m not as fancy. My Ford Motorcoach hits me just right. It’s been awesome. Yeah, it’s been really good. I go back there, it’s a good time to think. It’s just been great.”
