"I support no cause, foreign or domestic, other than the greatness of the Los Angeles Chargers" - Jim Harbaugh

Nothing screams FOOTBALL IS BACK quite like a Jim Harbaugh quote. 

Here is my running tab from Harbaugh since taking over as HC of the Chargers:

- (Introductory presser) "The only job you start at the top is digging a hole"

- (On the first day of training camp) "Feels like being born. Feels like coming out of the womb."

- (On his coordinators) "Like Moses, I’m gonna die leaning on my staff."

- (After leaving a game with a heart arrhythmia) "Ended up having to have an ablation for that one because it didn't go back into rhythm, but 2-0 with arrhythmias"

- (On players) "I love guys who like football. Guys who like football like me back."

- (After clinching the playoffs) "There's no coach that could have it better than to be coaching these players. Maybe, the only one is future us could have it better than us"

- (On a players development) "Satisfied? That is just a word I’d never use in connection to football…"

- (Before playing the Ravens) "I’d lay down my life for my brother, but I would not let him win a football game."

- (On Justin Herbert) "He's a complete stud, stalwart. Research what that means, it's tough, loyal, strong. He's the opposite of a house plant. He is field corn." 

- (On Justin Herbert) "There's not one gene in his body I wouldn't, like, immediately trade" 

- (On Justin Herbert) ""I woke up the other day and said, 'Gotta get Justin Herbert to the Hall of Fame. Must get Justin Herbert to the Hall of Fame. It's just one of those things where you wake up at 3:30, 4:00 in the morning, and sometimes that's when your best ideas come."

Secondhand quotes reported by players:

- "I think when he talked about remembering the day he was born" (via Herbert)

- "Don’t put softness on tape" (via Henley)

This just gets you in the spirit for the game, man. BOLT UP.
