Minnesota fires OC Harbaugh after Penn State loss

Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck dismissed offensive coordinator Greg Harbaugh Jr. on Sunday, a day after the Gophers fell 42-14 to Penn State and managed just 60 yards of offense in the first half. The move followed a season of offensive struggles, with Minnesota near the bottom of the Big Ten in scoring and production; quarterback Drake Lindsey and the running game have also struggled. Harbaugh had been with the program since 2022 and called plays for the past three seasons, while Minnesota has two games remaining to pursue bowl eligibility.
