Jim Harbaugh met with the press before the Los Angeles Chargers offseason program begins on Wednesday, April 3rd. As per usual, he made plenty of strong statements.

Harbaugh had a strong take regarding speed during the press conference.

That quote may be the best one of the offseason so far. It's the perfect mixture of truth and comedic relief that has made Harbaugh such an iconic character in the professional coaching scene.

He chimed on in on the back as a key part of the human physique, too. The amenities are endless with him at the helm.

Jim Harbaugh: "The back is just an untapped gold mine of lean muscle mass."

Not to mention, he compared Wednesday's beginning for the Chargers to the New Year for many other people around the country. It's a time for a fresh start. The slate is clean for LA.

"Most people think January 1st is the start of the new year. Those that espouse to Christianity, Catholicism, correlate it with the birth of Christ. But us in football? Today, April 2nd: Start of the new year.” -- Harbaugh
