    Dane Mizutani: Gophers need Niko Medved to channel his inner P.J. Fleck

    Some of us lived through the Cal Stoll, Joe Salem, Lou Holtz, John Gutekunst, Jim Wacker, Glen Mason, and Tim Brewster years... You haven't seen sphincter-tightening, albatross losses.

    Dane Mizutani: Gophers need Niko Medved to channel his inner P.J. Fleck

    Yeah, like he's said ad nauseam, he's not for everyone. The thing is... Those who willingly drink the Kool-Aid, so to speak, buy into what PJ is putting out. NIL money isn't soooo important if a player is a believer... or better yet, when the parents believe. Not every player (or family) is...

    Six Gophers headed to combine

    He doesn't have to... The players who've drunk the Kool-Aid, so to speak, will bring it up.

    Sometimes, when you think the ship is sinking... and you notice others abandoning the vessel, you best get yer ass overboard and save yourself.

    Reusse: P.J. Fleck is a much better coach than Tim Brewster, but when it comes to gibberish ...

    I like PJ Fleck... I don't always agree with some of his schtick, but I believe he actually lives that stuff. He believes, and that affects the type of players he brings in. I can live with that, too. PJ is never going to chase *****'s, disregarding their personal values, traits, behaviors, and...

    Saban: the way players acted after Michigan loss contributed to retirement

    This is exactly why I've never complained about the players Fleck recruited, or recruitment rankings in general. PJ brings in the kind of players we can all be proud of, and I wouldn't have it any other way...
