The Los Angeles Chargers are enjoying a successful first season under head coach Jim Harbaugh, who has transformed the team's culture since his return from college football. After a disappointing 5-12 record last year, the Chargers have improved to 9-6 and are on the verge of clinching a playoff spot.

Despite Harbaugh's impressive turnaround, he has been overlooked for Coach of the Year considerations, with notable candidates including Kevin O'Connell, Dan Campbell, Dan Quinn, Mike Tomlin, and Andy Reid. Many believe this oversight is unwarranted given Harbaugh's impact on the team.
