Colin Kaepernick won’t be joining the Los Angeles Chargers as a coach or a player this season, according to head coach Jim Harbaugh.
“I love Colin,” Harbaugh told reporters Thursday. “But he’s not going to be on my coaching staff this year, and he’s not going to be on the roster either.” This comes after it emerged earlier that Harbaugh was open to the possibility of Kaepernick joining the team in a coaching capacity one day. “If that was ever the path he was to take, I think that would be tremendous,” Harbaugh told USA TODAY after a training camp practice last week. “He’d be a tremendous coach, if that’s the path he chose.
” Kaepernick, for his part, recently told Sky Sports that he still holds hopes of playing in the NFL again. “We’re still training, still pushing,” Kaepernick told Sky Sports News earlier this month. “So hopefully – we’ve just got to get one of these team owners to open up.
