Alright, so I was just scrolling through some sports news the other day, you know, catching up. Saw Jim Harbaugh’s name mentioned quite a bit, with the whole Chargers thing going on. Made me stop and think for a second.

How old is this guy actually? Feels like he’s been coaching forever, first in college, then the NFL, back to college, now back to the NFL again. Quite the career path.
So, I did what I usually do when a random question pops into my head. Picked up my phone, opened up a browser window. Didn’t even go to a specific site, just typed it right into the search bar: “how old is jim harbaugh”.
Hit enter. And boom, right there at the top of the results, clear as day. It showed his date of birth.
December 23, 1963.
Okay, let’s do the math real quick. Born at the very end of 1963. So, he turned 60 just before Christmas last year, in 2023. That means he’s 60 right now as we’re rolling through 2024.
Just to be sure, I sometimes glance at the first couple of links, maybe a sports reference site or something reliable looking. Yeah, they all confirmed the same date. December 23, 1963.
So there you have it. The man is 60 years old. Took, what, maybe a minute to look that up? Pretty straightforward stuff. Always interesting to put an age to a face you see in the news a lot. Anyway, that was my little fact-finding mission for the day.
