Breitbach enters his fourth season at the helm of the UWSP football team in 2021.

The Pointers earned three home victories under Breitbach in 2019, including a home-opening win over No. 21 Wabash. UWSP picked up nine All-WIAC honors in 2019 and junior Donovan Lucas earned All-West Region honors.

In his first season, he led the Pointers to four wins, including a victory over then-No. 10 UW-Oshkosh on Oct. 27, one of two wins in the final three games of the season.  He coached 10 All-WIAC players, including WIAC Special Teams Player of the Year, Christian Almonte.

He was named head football coach on July 2, 2018 and came to UWSP after spending five seasons as head coach at Millersville University, a Division II program in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. 

In 2017, he led the Marauders to the highest win total in 10 years.  His team also earned the most wins in the PSAC East since 2006.  His Marauders’ offense generated the most points per game in 11 years.  Upon arrival at MU, he produced the first 1,000-yard rusher in seven seasons.

Prior to heading to Pennsylvania, Breitbach spent five seasons as the offensive coordinator at North Dakota and seven total years as a member of the UND staff.  In 2012, his offense set the Big Sky Conference record with 660 yards of passing offense in a game against Montana.  He led the UND offense to school records in single game total offense (770 yard vs. Montana), touchdown passes in a season (30) and single season passing offense (3,268 yards).  In 2011, he helped North Dakota to its first DI conference championship. 
 
He spent three seasons here at UWSP as offensive coordinator for John Miech.  During his time in Stevens Point, the Pointers went 18-12 and reached a No. 12 national ranking in 2003.  His offense averaged 415 yards and 30 points per game in his three seasons at UWSP. He coached seven first-team All-WIAC offensive players and an All-American.
 
Breitbach also spent coaching stints at Lewis and Clark College, his alma mater, Montana Western, and Wolf Point High School in Montana. 
 
On the field, Breitbach was a quarterback for Montana Western in 1991 and 1992, captaining the team in 1992.  He also played quarterback for two seasons at Dickinson State and was part of back-to-back NDCAC conference championships.
