Colin Kaepernick is still trying to make an NFL comeback after last playing in the league in 2016, but his former NFL coach is not interested in signing him this year as a player or a coach.
Current Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh coached Colin Kaepernick during their time with the San Francisco 49ers. Harbaugh also recently revealed that he has spoken to Kaepernick about the former quarterback possibly stepping into coaching. But that doesn’t mean Kaepernick will be joining the Chargers as a coach or a player.
During a recent press conference, Harbaugh announced that Kaepernick would not be joining the Chargers.
“I love Colin, and always will, and that gets conflated into he might play here or might coach here. I love Colin, but he’s not going to be on the coaching staff — it’s set for this year. And he’s not going to be playing on the roster either,” Harbaugh said according to Pro Football Talk.
Needless to say, this announcement led to a lot of reactions on social media.
Ck is a bona fide expert at burning bridges down to the ground, quite the talent.

He once again passed on an opportunity to be in the NFL. Can we just forget Kaepernick’s name already?

Why would he be?

As a 49er fan I love Kaep but he was not known to be a great passer. QB coaches tend to be cerebral types.

Kaepernick has not played in the NFL since the 2016 season after he was unable to find a new team following his controversial national anthem protests.
