Minnesota has dismissed offensive coordinator Greg Harbaugh Jr. with two regular-season games remaining in their schedule. Coach P.J. Fleck made the announcement on Sunday, the day after the team suffered a 42-14 defeat against Penn State.

Harbaugh Jr. was in his fourth season as play-caller and his third stint with the Minnesota program. He previously served in various roles, including quality control assistant and tight ends coach, before being elevated to offensive coordinator in 2025.
The team's record stands at 5-5 overall, with a 3-4 record in Big Ten games. They are averaging 17.6 points per game in conference play and are set to host Northwestern next Saturday.
