![Jim Harbaugh]()
Shame on me. I thought Jim Harbaugh feeling left out and giving a football-centric breakdown about
not being trapped in an elevator alongside Justin Herbert and other Los Angeles Chargers players would be the Jimmiest thing to ever Harbaugh. We might have a new leader in the clubhouse based on this story from Chargers Pro Bowler Joey Bosa.
On the podcast
Green Light with Chris Long, Bosa revealed that Harbaugh is proving you can take the game away from the player, but you can't take the player away from the game. Apparently coaching doesn't get Harbaugh going enough. He evidently prepares as if he were still a starting quarterback — with his own quirky twist to the proceedings: Fully-clothed cold tub sessions for recovery purposes.
"He's been hitting the cold tub, and he just gets in, full outfit. Shirt still tucked in. And he's just sitting there. He's like, 'Hey!' Belt, khakis...I'm sorry coach. I'm like, 'Coach, do those khakis keep a little insulation? Keep a little warmth in there?'"

Good for Jim getting into that ice bath, even if it's with his clothes still on. He must have a roster of hundreds of khakis and belts in his closet to pull off a routine like this, though. Isn't he gonna ruin his belt if it gets all wet? Wouldn't shock me if Harbaugh still hands his laundry on a line with clothespins. Nothing wrong with that at all, but something about the image of a line of khakis covering a portion of his estate's backyard is making me chuckle. And you can't entirely rule out that he is indeed doing that.
At 60 years young, Harbaugh still attacks every day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. He will get his sweat in regardless of convenience or conventional attire, and he will recover in a cold tub when necessary.
Here's recent proof that Harbaugh
can adhere to certain gym dress codes and perhaps doesn't
always workout and ice up in his typical game day getup:

How can you not root for this guy and this team? The Chargers have suffered for so long and had to deal with the whole Brandon Staley debacle. Now they're 2-0 under a new head coach who wins everywhere and gets everyone to buy in 100% while doing things like this:

Happy for Herbert, Bosa and the myriad veterans on this roster who've gone through so much instability and incompetence at the top of the organization. The Bolts are looking like a well-0iled machine entering Sunday's showdown with the undefeated Steelers in Pittsburgh. Let's hope Herbert can play through that right ankle injury Sunday, if only so that we can all see his pregame hype session with Harbaugh again.
