Jim Harbaugh Has Hilarious Quip About Suspension Handed Down To Derwin James

Jim Harbaugh is always full of great one-liners and quips about football. The quirky coach is someone whose press conferences have to be paid attention to.

That proved to be true once again on Wednesday, when the first-year Los Angeles Chargers faced the media and was asked about the suspension of superstar safety Derwin James.

Last week was a tough week for Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers. After a 2-0 start, the team was tied with the undefeated Steelers 10-10 midway through the third quarter but started to fall apart. Quarterback Justin Herbert reaggravated his ankle injury, star tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt got hurt, and the team had negative yards of total offense in the second half and eventually lost, 20-10.

As if those injuries weren’t enough to worry about for Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers, they’re going to be without superstar safety Derwin James in Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The NFL suspended James after repeatedly breaking player safety rules with vicious hits.

That is one of just many hits that ultimately led the league office to take action against Derwin James. The three-time All-Pro selection will not play against Kansas City this weekend.

Naturally, Jim Harbaugh was asked about the suspension at his press availability and had a great one-liner about it. Check it out.

He’s not wrong, and that’s a classic Jim Harbaugh one-liner.

This year, he’s already said he ties whether he takes his wife on a date to practice performance, and waxed poetically about people who love football. This is just another great quip from Jim Harbaugh.
