After two seasons he was hired by Wolf Point High School as the defensive coordinator.[3] He rejoined Montana Western in 1996 as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.[4] He left Montana Western in 1999 to become the special teams coordinator and wide receivers coach for Lewis & Clark.[5] In 2003, Breitbach was hired as the offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach, and wide receivers coach for Wisconsin–Stevens Point.[6] After three seasons he became the running backs coach for North Dakota.[7] In 2008, he was promoted to offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.[8][9]

In 2013, Breitbach was hired as the head football coach for Millersville.[10][11][12] In five seasons he finished with an overall record of 10–45 and finished the 2017 season with his highest win total as he led the Marauders to a 4–7 record.[13][14] In 2018, he was hired as the head football coach for Wisconsin–Stevens Point.[15] In four years (three seasons as 2020 was cancelled due to COVID-19) he led the team to a 9–21 record.[16] His best season came in his first season as he finished 4–6.
