Chargers opening, inaugural, first season; I beg to differ and excuse me if I appear to stray from the theme of humility that was stressed today, but it is fact. I was at the very first Chargers game - ever. And I vividly remember the very first play when RB Paul Lowe fielded the opening kickoff from the N Y Titans about 4-yards deep in the East Colisseum end zone, brought it out, cut right, then weaving through and leaving behind their entire special teasers, with Chargers blocking of course and ran the entire length of the playing field for a 104-yard Touchdown ! Electric moment and the stands in that stadium practically went into orbit. Greatest way, first play for the opening of the Chargers.

    But that reporter needs to know that I was there for every game that inaugural season. True story.
    Wow! I was also there for that very first game in 1960.

      We got Jim in large part because of John and his efforts.
      Also important to note that Harbaugh basically echoed the same sentiments as John when a reporter asked him about having Jesse Minter and his son on staff. He was very careful to say he was looking forward to seeing all the talented people they were going to interview for their staff.

        Really glad you are part of this internet family. None of us have your experiences or those of Sgt Schlutz. Hope we win the Super Bowl soon. We all deserve it and you both deserve it the most!

          Really disappointed he didn't mention me. I'm probably going to become a Chiefs fan now.

            I think John was just being nice talking about great connections meaning some of the coordinators. Probably the Leslie Fraziers of the world.

            I looked at it differently

            Kind of too the Rooney rule that it’s actually working. A lot of these black coaches that normally wouldn’t get looks are actually able to meet get to know these owners and be considered for other positions. Getting to know these guys.

            Even guys like Brown. It’s part of the process what it’s for.

              and with regard to seasons,
              the Chargers do not
              know what to do with success.

              Also:
              "...we will be physical-- don't let The Powder Blues fool you."

              I listened to the whole enchilada LIVE and am frankly very impressed.
              I was actually surprised by Harbaugh's humility and his deep feeling of responsibility to maximize his player's skill and work. He doesn't seem like a hard ass. Just a worker. earn it. I guess if a player doesn't have that work ethic he'll move on.

                He said he cares about the fans. Hope that's enough for you.

                  Maybe some people are having srcond thoughts,
                  like going to SEA.
                  Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

                      Joe D' did some fine work. great OL coach.
                      another great hire!..... great coaches usually hire great assistants.. and they are exposed to great training and environment..... BAL always has a great tough OL and running game.... ONLY reason their passing game is not elite is because their QB is an elite runner with a cannon arm BUT with very inconsistent touch, so he misses easy passes but makes highlight worthy plays.... if you shut down the run, he cannot pass you to victory.....
                      BUT HERBERT CAN!!!
                      Improving the OL is partly about talent.... elite talent like slater and Sewel are going to be good with even sucky coaches, but average guys like NE has had with elite coaching perform like all pros..... and its also about how they work together as a group!
                      I dont know anything about him except he has been trained by Harbugh's brother and other elite coaches..... i'll go withj that over what Chargers have done before....
