Jim Harbaugh, head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers, is preparing to strategize the team's offseason with general manager Joe Hortiz, but will first undergo two medical procedures: an ablation for an irregular heart rhythm and hip replacement surgery. Harbaugh has experienced heart issues in the past, having had two previous ablation procedures, and faced a significant limp late in the season due to hip problems.

Despite a disappointing end to the season with a 32-12 playoff loss against the Houston Texans, Harbaugh remains optimistic about the team’s potential. He acknowledged the struggles of quarterback Justin Herbert, who had a poor performance in the playoffs, but emphasized the need for the team to improve in all areas, aiming for a strong offseason with more salary cap space and several free agents to consider.
