Jason Sudeikis asked for advice from Jim Harbaugh when creating his Ted Lasso character, and the text exchange is pure Harbaugh gold.
“I pack a toothbrush and a great attitude.”
That was the best line from a hilarious text exchange between Jason Sudeikis and Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh.
It’s no secret that Harbaugh is a fan of the Apple TV series, Ted Lasso. He mentioned it during his initial presser with the Chargers in 2024, recommending everyone watch it. What Harbaugh left out was the way he helped shape the main character in the popular show.
In 2019, when creating the lead character, Jason Sudeikis reached out to Harbaugh and asked for some advice. He wanted to know what the coach wore for game days, if he showered before pressers, and if he changed before getting on the bus.
