This weekend, new Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh wants to beat the city of Pittsburgh. But it doesn’t mean he can’t appreciate the town. During a Monday press conference, Harbaugh praised the city, its people, and its values.

“Playing against them as a player, there’s an aura there,” Harbaugh said Monday via the team’s YouTube channel. “Just everybody I’ve ever met from Pittsburgh. There’s nobody on this planet I have more respect for than Ben Herbert. I know the kind of football people who come out of the Burgh. It’s real, it’s genuine, it’s unique.
