Top moments from Harbaugh's viral introductory presser with Chargers
The Los Angeles Chargers made headlines by landing Jim Harbaugh last week, and the head coach's introductory press conference in L.A. didn't disappoint.
Los Angeles introduced Harbaugh to the media and fans on Thursday. The 60-year-old, who's returning to the NFL after leading Michigan to a national championship this past season, provided several viral moments during his first appearance with his new team. Here are some of the best:
"You're a legend"Harbaugh started taking questions from the media with a hilarious interaction with KCAL News sports director Jim Hill, a longtime sports anchor who played defensive back in the NFL.

The veteran sideline boss recently said he was "starstruck" by Chargers star quarterback Justin Herbert. On Thursday, Harbaugh demonstrated his reaction to the 6-foot-6 passer.

Herbert wasn't the only Charger who impressed Harbaugh. He described the team's weight room as an "all-you-can-eat buffet" while addressing how badly his new players want to work.

Harbaugh even offered a piece of advice at the end of his presser. The way he sees it, there's an important life lesson in every episode of the hit series "Ted Lasso."
