Per Connor:
Either way, I think he still has a lot to prove.
Fleck came to Minnesota after leading Western Michigan to a 13-1 season in 2016 with a berth in the Cotton Bowl. He was expected to turn the Gophers into immediate winners and it only took him three seasons to get them to 11 wins. However, since that season in 2019, Fleck has gone just 27-19 and yet he still gets mentioned among the top coaches in the conference?
Is Fleck a solid coach? Yes, but finishing with a losing record in year seven isn't exactly what Minnesota fans envisioned when he was hired. He has a lot to prove in 2024 to show that 2023 was just an outlier. But he seems like a "nine wins max" kind of coach now.
Go Gophers!!
3. PJ Fleck, Minnesota
PJ Fleck always seems to be mentioned among the coaching candidates who could make the jump to a bigger Power Four job every offseason, but I think he may just have a brilliant agent who likes to conjure up these rumors for bigger contracts at Minnesota.Either way, I think he still has a lot to prove.
