EL SEGUNO, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday that he will have a cardiac ablation this offseason and hip replacement surgery.

Harbaugh, 61, briefly left the Chargers' Week 6 game against the Denver Broncos after a flare-up with atrial flutter, a type of arrhythmia that causes the heart to beat at an abnormally high rate. Harbaugh wore a heart monitor for two weeks during the season.

Harbaugh went to the locker room, where paramedics treated him. He had an electrocardiogram scan and, eventually, they got his heart back to a normal rhythm. Harbaugh returned in the first quarter and coached the remainder of the game. Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter was the interim head coach while Harbaugh was out.

In 2012, Harbaugh had his last flare-up. It came when he was coaching the San Francisco 49ers in a game against the Chicago Bears on "Monday Night Football," when he felt an irregular heartbeat but finished coaching the game and saw doctors afterward.

As for his hip replacement, Harbaugh walks with a significant limp now because of his hip, which will be corrected with the surgery.
Harbaugh has said previously that he wouldn't consider retiring because of his health issues.

"It would take my heart stopping for me not to be out there on the sideline," Harbaugh said in October.

Elite 2027 QB reacts to Michigan visit

Login to view embedded media
Illinois 2027 four-star QB Trae Taylor was back in Ann Arbor this weekend to check out the Wolverines program. He's pretty familair with the program but wanted to get another look as the team has so much buzz around the program.

The biggest thing that stood out to me is that Coach Sinagoga is more involved with the QBs," Taylor said. "That is a huge plus for me because through all the changes he has been there from day 1 for me."

I specifically asked Taylor about the vibe change in the program and if he's noticed any difference. Lots of recruits are taking note of how things just feel a little different in the building now.

"The vibe is much more positive in the building," Taylor said. "They had a strong finish to the season and you are seeing Coach Moore is making it his own. Everyone is excited for next year."

Taylor added that his relationship is steadily improving with Moore. He believes it will grow even more in the coming months as he narrows down his recruitment some. Up next, Taylor plans to visit Texas A&M at the end of the month right before the dead period ends.
