I was at this game with my cousins, grandma, and aunt. I was 7 years old. My aunt knew the Chargers then owner at the time Alex Spanos. We were invited to sit in the owners box and watch the game. We had an awesome view of the field and the stadium. I remember there being all this free buffet food on one side of the room and then you get your own personal seat to watch the game in during the game on the other side. The rest of the Spanos family was there, though I dont remember meeting Dean. I got to meet Alex though and chat with him for a bit. He was a nice guy from what I remember. We took a picture with him at halftime. Fun times back then. I miss those days. I gotta find that picture.
As a Michigan fan, I say thank you to Jim Harbaugh for restoring the pride in Wolverines football. All love and respect from this UM football fan. Good luck with the Chargers #GoBlue #BET 💙💛💙💛
Looking at that "end career choices" panel is hilarious. Noe one ever expected him to appear in a super bowl and win a National Championship as a coach
So, here we have Jim Harbaugh, quarterback of the Chargers, leading his team against the Raiders defense, led by Charles Woodson, from Michigan University, which Harbaugh would later coach, and then coach the Chargers directly FROM said university's championship season. What a world.
Fun fact: the Raiders did end up beating the Chiefs the following week, and although they didn’t make the playoffs they did deny KC a playoff spot by handing Seattle the division title on tiebreakers at 9-7. It was Seattle’s second and final AFC West title before switching conferences in the 2002 realignment.
Always been a big Harbaugh fan as a player and a coach. One of the toughest quarterbacks I’ve ever seen. The Chargers are lucky to have him. He will definitely test Herbert.
I was there that day! Man, the annual home game hosting the Raiders was ALWAYS crazy -- fun fact, when the Raiders played back then, the crime rate dropped like 87% for the day!
One of the reasons why Harbaugh has succeeded everywhere as a coach is the fact that he wasn't the most TALENTED player in the world but he had the smarts and those intangibles that you can't quantify. He knows the value of hard work and sacrifice. One reason why he could get away with such a hardnosed offense in modern college football is because he could point to his experiences and how you got to bust your ass to achieve the greatest goal possible. I think he'll do well in LA as he's just as able to have a high powered offense as he showed with the Niners and the early part of his Michigan tenure.
The Chargers are paying the equivalent of what it takes to build a new Stadium when they moved and pay for SoFi. They could've bit the bullet if they wanted to.
Oakland's kicking troubles all year led to them using a first rounder on Seabass in the following draft. Picked up Lechler later in the same draft, too. I'd be shocked if there has ever been a better kicker and punter combo taken in the same draft class by the same team
So ironic that I didn't know Jim Harbaugh played for the Chargers until last night but since then I've seen at least 40 pictures of him in a Chargers uniform in my online feed
I forgot and I'm an Raiders fan. Crazy thing is had that hail mary in the divisional rd in 94 been caught he would've played the Chargers in the AFCC. Guess it was meant to be
I remember being at that game with a house packed with more Raider fans than charger fans. Nothing made me happier than to walk out of that stadium, and watch Raider fans go away pissed 😤 off because their team lost to the Chargers. That win by Sam Diego knocked the Raiders out of playoff contention. It was a happy ride back to LA for me.
@AnthonyRodriguez-yg8xu Eventually the Chargers will gain a strong following in Los Angeles! Honestly I see no logic rooting for a team in Los Angeles like the Rams who abandoned all of Southern California for 20+ years you know! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
I've really miss the San Diego Chargers, but I've wished they need to bring it back. Los Angeles Chargers is not Home. The Chargers deserves to stay in San Diego.
Backup QB make some of the best coaches, because that is basically what they did in the leagues being a Backup. Learn all the plays and schemes and motivate the starters. Jim had a lot of starts though, but was a "Game Manager" at best
A young Jon Gruden coaching the Raiders. I would have loved to be in the meetings room all week as he prepared for Harbaugh and the negative things he probably said to his team about Harbaugh as a QB. Too bad we never got a future coaching matchup between Harbaugh and Gruden
Life After Football: landscaper in Vegas. That sounds like something he would say. I liked Harbaugh as QB of Michigan and in the pros. He was gutsy, no flash at all. He would never dazzle you with stats but he was a tough, hard-nosed QB. He was perfect for Michigan. Football.
Looking at that first half, the chargers back then were abysmal as they are now 😅. Fumbled snaps, picks, letting WR gain 90+ yards in a quarter. Hopefully Harbaugh can turn these guys into champions 🤞🏾
The Chargers name and logo was created and originated in Los Angeles 1960 L.A. memorial Coliseum ⚡🐴 🏈 The name originated from the USC football games... then musician and team kicker Tommy Trojan played and helped inspire then owner Barron Hilton when Hilton attended the USC football games at the LA Coliseum every time Tommy would run out to the field to attempt the extra point kick the USC fans would yell out Tommy’s Charge! Chant he created as a musician “Da Da Da Da Trojan Warriors Charge!! So that’s we’re R.I.P Barron Hilton then owner got inspired for the name from that Da Da Da Charge! Chant The proof is in the Battle Horse logo charging into battle hence the battle horse inside the original L.A Chargers 1960 shield logo very similar to a USC Trojan warrior Charging into battle with a Sword and shield. The lightning bolt came from Barron Hilton liking the Air Force college team logo. Till this day that Charge! Chant is heard at the games and through out other sporting events. Da Da Da Da Charge! ⚡🐴 🏈 The Chargers are the true original L.A. born team playing for the original birthplace and not too many teams can claim that fact! The Rams were born in Cleveland. The Raiders were born in Oakland. and that’s a fact those other teams can’t ever claim. And also the Chargers are the true Southern California team they have never left Southern California unlike the Rams born in Cleveland and played in St.Louis and the Raiders born in Oakland and play in Las Vegas Nevada.
Harbaugh had a good NFL career compared to the average player that is even able to make it to the NFL. Think he would have had an even better career if he was on some better teams. Mike Ditka's Chicago Bears wasn't exactly the destination for offensive innovation. The Colts in the mid 90's were the closest Harbaugh would get to a stellar cast, and even then it wasn't very remarkable outside of Marshall Faulk. His best days were behind him by the time he landed with the Chargers.
Being a Charger fan, it amazes me that we didn't win a playoff game for 13 years after the 1994 AFC Championship game and we didn't have a winning season from 1996 to 2003. Either way, it's Chargers forever.
One of the stars of this game is somewhat forgotten...Jeff Graham. No he wasn't a Hall of Famer, but he was super productive and a great complimentary receiver for the Chargers, Steelers, and the Bears ( where he actually was WR1) As a Bears fan i hated to see Graham go. I also hated seeing Harbaugh, Erik Kramer, and Jim McMahon ( probably the three best QBs we ever had all playing for the Chargers among other teams)
The year I was born 1999 💯 RAAAAIIIIIIDDDDDDEERRRRRSSSSSS!!!!! Definitely miss them being in Oakland where it all started when they had black / gold or yellow uniform until the GREAT AL DAVIS changed it up 🙏🏽🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
And now the LA Chargers hired Jim Harbaugh as their new head coach for the next 2024 season. Best of luck to Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers facing John Harbaugh’s Ravens next year for Harbowl III.

We need new but small realignment

Ah the days when the Seahawks were in the AFC battling Raiders & Chiefs & Chargers.

Don Criqui was a great announcer. Very underrated. Miss hearing him on NFL broadcasts!
Melin Olson , Dick Embierg ...loved the NBC/AFC announcers back through the 80s
Agreed. Very underrated.
The legendary Don Criqui on the play by play. He called NFL football every year from 1967-2013, a record 47 consecutive seasons
47 consecutive years, that’s correct.
But, he began in 1967.
I wish he began in 1963, that would have been cooler.
@@rjpsuh06 thanks I knew that math looked off
@@TheLocalLt no problem. Don Criqui was great.
Arguably my favorite NFL play-by-play broadcaster. He was dynamite.
Man that was good old days.. Bob Trumphy D Criqui B Costas M Olsen all Great announcers in 80 90

As a former Bolts season ticket holder, I will forever miss those beautiful, sunny Sunday afternoons at Qualcomm. RIP Chargers.
Go be a Raiders fan
My heart is with you fellow San Diegans
I just got emotional seeing Junior Seau, what a guy he was
Chargers should have never left San Diego. That stadium was so loud in big games.
True. But San Diego voted them out because the taxpayers didn't want to pay to build them a new stadium.
And those uniforms are way better than what they have now!
Los Angeles is no home for the Chargers.
The Chargers are paying the equivalent of what it takes to build a new Stadium when they moved and pay for SoFi. They could've bit the bullet if they wanted to.
@@pendragon2012 Uhhhh not really. The new uniforms are better
Oakland v San Diego that was where it was at
Oakland's kicking troubles all year led to them using a first rounder on Seabass in the following draft. Picked up Lechler later in the same draft, too. I'd be shocked if there has ever been a better kicker and punter combo taken in the same draft class by the same team
That’s crazy because the first field goal was right down the middle and had plenty of leg
So ironic that I didn't know Jim Harbaugh played for the Chargers until last night but since then I've seen at least 40 pictures of him in a Chargers uniform in my online feed

Watching the highlights of this throwback game after we learned about Jim Harbaugh being hired as the new head coach of the Chargers.
Tim Brown was cooking on the Raiders

Yes 🙌 sir
@@AnthonyRodriguez-yg8xu I tell people the same thing! I am glad to see Chargers fans like you here in Los Angeles!
I really liked seeing them in San Diego better. They just don’t have a strong following here in LA except for the diehards that come from SD.

Good luck with the Chargers, Harbaugh!
Ugh I miss this.. some how this feels more like the real sport then what’s on now idk.. it’s just crazy how much the game has changed
My uncle took me to this game. I was nineteen and a Raiders fan then. Now I work at Lumen Field. Go Hawks!
I've really miss the San Diego Chargers, but I've wished they need to bring it back. Los Angeles Chargers is not Home. The Chargers deserves to stay in San Diego.
The Chargers started in Los Angeles and Moved to San Diego. Now they have moved back to LA...it was only a year but it still counts lol
That ship sailed, yall either Bolt up or shut up.
It's crazy cause he's about to save the Chargers one's again 😂
Again? He didn’t the first time
@jefe8178 he won that game didn't he?
@@boris2997 they didn’t make the playoffs who cares about him winning a game
@@boris2997 😂 you gotta bring the trophy home come on man!
I was at this game as a young kid. After the game I got autographs from Woodson, Brown, Ritchie and others.
It’s a bummer The Chargers aren’t in San Diego anymore.
Thanks for the video NFL Throwback!!!
A real throwback!
Football was so good back then.

Kicked a field goal to end the half from the one. 8:48 . It is funny how little coaches knew about strategy before the last 15 years.
Life after football. They had him as a landscaper in Vegas as #1. Head coach wasn't even on the list

It is 1999 yep

Welcome To Los Angeles Jim Harbaugh
What the hell was the holder doing on that one field goal??? Haha he just totally ran away as soon as the ball was snapped 😅
Dude same, my guess is he called for a fake but the kicker or snapper messed up.
Two teams that no longer exist. The NFL doesn’t care about the fans.

Please put every game back to the merger on the game archives for NFL+

dear NFL throwback I love videos but its was 1999 because the jaguars were 14-2 that year and they went 11-5 in 1998 sorry
Gruden's face is hilarious
1999 Raiders blew a lot of close games that season, which was a result of them missing the playoffs, all 8 of their losses were by 7 points or less.
