Colin Cowherd Says That Jim Harbaugh Could Beat Up Coaches Such As DeMeco Ryans, Robert Saleh ‘In A Fight’

Fox Sports 1

Colin Cowherd’s ability to say things about sports without any factual basis or context continued during Super Bowl week, as the Fox Sports 1 personality declared that new Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh is one of the top four “toughest” head coaches in the National Football League.

According to Cowherd, the top four toughest coaches in the NFL — in terms of “if they all got into a fight” — are Mike Tomlin, Mike Vrabel, Dan Campbell,  and Jim Harbaugh.

“If you told me, ‘Who are the toughest four football coaches in the NFL, if they all got into a fight?’ I’d say Mike Tomlin, Dan Campbell, Jim Harbaugh, and Vrabel,” Cowherd said while discussing a report that Vrabel’s size apparently intimidated some teams.

As pointed out by the popular Funhouse Twitter account — which does the noble duty of keeping track of the unfounded thing that sports radio hosts say — Cowherd is basically saying that he thinks Harbaugh could beat up the likes of Jerod Mayo, Antonio Pierce, DeMeco Ryans (all of whom are former NFL linebackers) and Robert Saleh (who is just generally jacked).

Harbaugh, who previously coached the San Francisco 49ers, was hired by the Los Angeles Chargers during the offseason after spending the previous nine seasons as the head coach of the University of Michigan Wolverines football team.

During his final season at Michigan, Harbaugh won a national championship with the school, which was the university’s first title since 1997.

Now back in the NFL, Harbaugh will be tasked with turning Justin Herbert from a hypothetical franchise quarterback into a legitimate one, while also restoring some excitement to an organization that is usually outgunned by road fans during the team’s home games.

Harbaugh will certainly have his work cut out for him as the Chargers play in the AFC West, which has been dominated by Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs for over half-a-decade now.
