The offseason isn’t just for players to have necessary procedures and surgeries to get right following a long, physically-taxing football season. Coaches apparently need the time to do the same.
On Wednesday during Jim Harbaugh and Joe Hortiz’s end-of-season press conference, the Chargers’ first-year head coach told reporters that he will undergo two procedures this offseason: A cardiac ablation and a hip replacement.
Harbaugh left the team’s Week Six matchup with the Broncos for a short time when he had a flare-up with his atrial flutter, a type of arrhythmia that causes the heart to beat at an abnormally high rate.
