Minnesota to promote Matt Simon and Greg Harbaugh Jr. to co-offensive coordinators

With offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Kirk Ciarrocca departing for Rutgers, where he will reportedly be paid a salary of $1.4 million, Minnesota head football coach P.J. Fleck has opted to look inward for his replacement (or replacements, in this case).

Wide receivers coach Matt Simon will assume play-calling duties but share the title of co-offensive coordinator with Greg Harbaugh Jr., who will transition from tight ends coach to quarterbacks coach. Both will likely see salary increases to reflect their new positions on the staff.
