Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh wants to give quarterback Colin Kaepernick a job -- on his coaching staff, not his roster.
"If that was ever the path he was to take, I think that would be tremendous," Harbaugh told USA Today Sports. "He'd be a tremendous coach, if that's the path he chose."
Harbaugh said he reached out to Kaepernick shortly after he took over the Chargers in January about joining him in Los Angeles in a non-playing capacity.
Yeah, we talked a little bit about it," Harbaugh told USA Today Sports at training camp last week. "He's considering it. He was out of the country. He said he was going to get back to me. We haven't reconnected since then. That was early, early in the year."
Kaepernick, 36, played for Harbaugh when he coached the San Francisco 49ers from 2011-14. He has been out of the league since 2016 but recently restated his desire to resume his playing career.
We're still training, still pushing," Kaepernick said to Sky Sports this week. "So, hopefully. We've just got to get one of these team owners to open up."
Kaepernick also told Sky Sports that he "would love" to represent the United States in flag football in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics when the sport will be part of the Summer Games for the first time.
Kaepernick reached an undisclosed settlement with the NFL in 2019 after arguing that owners had colluded to keep him out of the league, essentially blackballing him after he began kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality and racial injustice.
Kaepernick posted a 28-30 record with San Francisco from 2011-16, passing for 12,271 yards with 72 touchdowns and 30 interceptions. The 2011 second-round pick took the 49ers to Super Bowl XLVII, where they lost 34-31 to the Baltimore Ravens.

Now he says he doesn't. I think it might be part of the initiation for new coaches that they have to say something that gives Kaepernick hope that he will get back in the league.
Kaepernick and John Lennon have a lot in common...both selected girlfriends who broke up their teams and ruined their careers and Kaep now hopes Mark Chapman is hanging out at the entrance to his house.

That is pretty funny

Kaepernick and John Lennon have a lot in common...both selected girlfriends who broke up their teams and ruined their careers and Kaep now hopes Mark Chapman is hanging out at the entrance to his house.

Now the story of John Lennon and Mark Chapman is 10x more interesting but Ill have to tell that one another time...Mark has quite a bit in common with Charles Manson

Now that the "Satanic Olympics" are over the All Star "whiners" of the RX can concentrate on what is or could be bothering them about the NFL this year.....

Joy!!!!!!..

Jim Harbaugh: Colin Kaepernick won't coach Chargers this year.​

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- If Colin Kaepernick wants to join the Los Angeles Chargers, it will not be until next year at the earliest.
And it will only be as a member of Jim Harbaugh's coaching staff.
"I love Colin, but he's not going to be on the coaching staff, which is set for this year. And he's not going to be playing on the roster either," Harbaugh said after Thursday's practice.
Harbaugh, who coached Kaepernick in San Francisco from 2011 through 2014, told USA Today Sports earlier this week that he reached out to Kaepernick about joining his Chargers' staff shortly after being named coach on Jan. 24.
Harbaugh said on Thursday that it wasn't the first time he has touched base with Kaepernick about coaching, and that he mentioned it a couple times when he was the coach at Michigan.
"I have thought that for a long time. Just the respect that I have for the football mind he has and the football man that he is," said Harbaugh when asked what made him believe Kaepernick would make a good coach. "[Late Raiders owner] Al Davis saw something in me that made him think I would be a good coach, and I see those same qualities in Colin. If it is something he chooses."
Kaepernick, who turns 37 on Nov. 3, has not played in an NFL game since Jan. 1, 2017, after he began kneeling on the sideline at games during the national anthem to protest social injustice and police brutality.
Kaepernick, who played six seasons with San Francisco after being a second-round pick in 2011, still has hopes though of playing again. He told Britain's "Sky Sports News" during the recent Paris Olympics that he is still training.
"It's something I've trained my whole life for, so to be able to step back on the field, I think that would be a major moment, a major accomplishment for me," Kaepernick said. "I think I could bring a lot to a team and help them win a championship."
Kaepernick had a 29-16 record as a starter, including the playoffs, when Harbaugh was his coach. After Harbaugh left to go to Michigan, Kaepernick's record was 3-17.
Kaepernick was the starting quarterback in Super Bowl XLVII against Baltimore. He was 16 of 28 for 302 yards with a touchdown and also ran for a score in San Francisco's 34-31 loss.
Harbaugh has three players he coached in San Francisco on his Chargers staff -- NaVorro Bowman, Jonathan Goodwin and Will Tukuafu. Mike Iupati and Delanie Walker were coaching assistants during training camp while Dashon Goldson is a coaching intern for the season.
Greg Roman, who was Kaepernick's offensive coordinator in San Francisco from 2011 through 2014, is also directing the Chargers' offense.
