Gophers to hire Isaac Fruechte and Mo Ibrahim as assistant coaches

Fruechte, who played wideout for the Gophers from 2012-14, has been the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for North Dakota since 2024.

The Gophers are also planning to hire former record-setting tailback Mo Ibrahim to replace Jayden Everett as its running backs coach, a source said. Ibrahim has been the running backs coach at Kent State.

Minnesota is also working to bring in Daniel Da Prato to be the next special teams coordinator after Bob Ligashesky was not retained after last season. Da Prato has been the special teams coordinator at New Mexico.

The U will also be bringing in Travis Moore to be an assistant defensive line coach. He has been the defensive ends coach at Northern Illinois since 2019. He played for the Huskies alongside Gophers head coach P.J. Fleck.

The Gophers have one remaining coaching vacancy at outside linebackers/nickel backs.
