Harbaugh had a second interview with the Bolts on Tuesday, and it appears as though both sides were able to quickly hammer out an agreement before he went through with other interviews.

The Chargers fired head coach Brandon Staley after 14 games and had Giff Smith finish out the year as the interim HC. Nine long years away from the NFL, Harbaugh is finally back after leading Michigan to a national championship.
