Michigan Wolverines Head Coach Jim Harbaugh
Many continue to wonder whether or not Jim Harbaugh will head back to the NFL after this season at Michigan, and a prime opening with a high-end signal caller like Justin Herbert makes the whispers grow even louder. If the Chargers want to make a splash, Harbaugh and Belichick are the two options that clearly jump off the page. There are a lot of attractive traits about this Chargers opening, and you have to figure that Harbaugh will at least be keeping an eye on the situation as it unfolds.
New England Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick
There's a lot of speculation that Bill Belichick's time will be up with the New England Patriots after this season. We could see Belichick and the Patriots mutually part ways, or we could see the Chargers trade for him. Belichick is widely regarded as the best head coach in NFL history, and we know what he can do when he has a competent quarterback at his disposal. There's already been plenty of chatter about the Chargers being a preferred destination for Belichick, and it will be interesting to watch how this situation plays out after the season.
Miami Dolphins Offensive Coordinator Frank Smith
If you're looking for a team that's doing some unique things on offense, look no further than the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins have taken the AFC by storm, and we've liked what Frank Smith has brought to the table as their offensive coordinator. It doesn't guarantee he'll be given an opportunity as a head coach, but he should at least be in the running. If you've seen Smith speak with the media, you already know he has what it takes to be a head coach in the NFL.
Washington Commanders Offensive Coordinator Eric Bieniemy
In the offseason, offensive guru Eric Bieniemy moved on from his role with the Kansas City Chiefs. Bieniemy helped lead the Chiefs to a pair of Super Bowls as their offensive coordinator. It's no secret he's been looking for a head coaching job but ultimately landed as the Washington Commanders' offensive coordinator. Bieniemy has already done a lot of good things with the Commanders, and we've also seen Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense take a step back. It's hard to think of a better fit for Justin Herbert.
Detroit Lions Offensive Coordinator Ben Johnson
The Detroit Lions offense has brought some creative looks to the table, and offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has emerged as an interesting candidate to be an NFL head coach. He's already interviewed for multiple head coaching positions, and it looks as though it's only a matter of time before he finally gets a shot. The Lions' offensive attack is only boosting his resume. Pairing up someone like Johnson with Justin Herbert has a chance to elevate the Chargers offense.
