Coaching career

[edit | edit source]

Harbaugh began coaching upon graduating from Averett with a position with North Carolina Wesleyan as the school's wide receiver and running backs coach. In two seasons with the team he helped lead them to two conference championships and one NCAA Division III playoff appearance in 2009.[2][4]

In 2011, Harbaugh moved onto Methodist where he worked as the cornerbacks coach for two seasons before moving on to Marietta.[4] With Marietta he served as the passing game coordinator, recruiting coordinator, video coordinator, and academic coordinator.[5] In 2015, he joined Western Michigan as a graduate assistant as he earned his master's degree.

In 2017, Harbaugh began his first stint with Minnesota as a quality control coach. In 2018, with Chattanooga he coached wide receivers before being fired and returning for a second time to Minnesota as a quality control coach.[6][7] He returned to coaching wide receivers as he returned for a second stint with Western Michigan in 2020 through 2021.[8]

In 2022, Harbaugh began his third stint with Minnesota—this time as the tight ends coach.[9] After Kirk Ciarrocca left to become the offensive coordinator for Rutgers, Harbaugh joined Matt Simon as co-offensive coordinators for the 2023 season.[10][11] He also took on the role of quarterbacks coach, alongside his co-offensive duties, for the 2023 season.[12] Prior to the 2025 season, he was named offensive coordinator, with Simon being named co-offensive coordinator.[13]
