Jim Harbaugh is not aware of any guilt. The new head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers vehemently defends himself against the allegations from his time as a college coach

In 2023, seven employees of the Michigan University football program are alleged to have violated NCAA rules.

Among them is the new head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers, Jim Harbaugh.

According to an “ESPN” report, an NCAA commission has produced such a manuscript.

Harbaugh vehemently defends himself against the allegations

Jim Harbaugh denies allegations

“Never lie. Never cheat. Never steal. That’s how I was raised,” Harbaugh began the press conference in which he addressed the allegations recently.

The former Michigan head coach continued: “That’s how I raised my family. That’s how I preach to the teams I’ve coached. Nobody is perfect. If you make a mistake, apologize and make it right. Today, I’m not going to apologize. I was not part of these allegations, nor did I know about them. Accordingly, I will continue to do my job and approach it with unimaginable enthusiasm.”

Prior to joining the Chargers, Harbaugh won the National Championship with Michigan. He allegedly committed a “Level 1” offense in the NCAA’s penalty system, the worst case in the rulebook. The NCAA accuses him of not cooperating properly. Harbaugh did not want to release any messages or the log of his phone during the investigation.

However, the report also states that no definitive proof could be provided as to whether Harbaugh was involved in or knew about the signal theft surrounding his former protégé Connor Stalion. However, Harbaugh would not have bothered to look for “red flags” either. In other words, checking to see if everything was above board.

If Harbaugh ever wants to return to college football, he could face a restrictive penalty, according to the manuscript that has surfaced.

Michigan scandal: What Harbaugh complicit in?

Harbaugh brought two of his Michigan guys with him to the Chargers. Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter and defensive backs coach Steve Clinkscale.

Both are accused of disregarding the proper recruiting process in college football.

Clinkscale allegedly wrote a check for $100 to the father of a recruit. He organized a golf event that was held for charity. He is also said to have helped the young player to be verified on Instagram. This gave him a recognized profile on the social media platform.

DC Minter, as well as former Michigan linebackers coach Chris Partridge, allegedly sent unauthorized messages to a high school player. Minter and Clinkscale did not comment to the press. Partridge is now an assistant coach with the Seattle Seahawks.

Harbaugh abruptly ended the press conference himself after his statement about the allegations.
