The Los Angeles Chargers will be looking for their next head coach once the season wraps up. The good news is that the season for the Bolts is wrapping up on Sunday.
They will be taking on the Kansas City Chiefs in a game that will only be played for pride. While the Bolts have stated they will engage in an "expansive" search for their next HC and GM, they may already have an HC in mind.
Current Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh has been linked to the Chargers, and odds makers currently have him as the most obvious choice for the job, according to James Brizuela of Charger Report.
Interestingly, Harbaugh has already been rumored to have been in talks with the Chargers organization, though that has not yet been corroborated. What makes this rumor far more believable is that Harbaugh does not have to wait to talk to anyone.
“Unlike current NFL assistant coaches -- who are barred under the new anti-tampering policy sent to clubs on Friday from interviewing in-person for head coaching jobs until the conclusion of divisional playoff games on Jan. 21 -- Harbaugh is free to speak with NFL teams immediately.”

Harbaugh is not a DC, OC, or HC of a professional team, so the rules about talking to him before the end of the playoffs are not applicable. Harbaugh might have already spoken to someone in the Chargers camp, which is why he has hired an agent that represents players and coaches in the NFL.
Harbaugh did come out and state that he would not be making a decision on his future until after the CFP Championship game takes place. Michigan will face off against Washington on January 10.
