Can't argue with that either. So just comes down to whether they think he's worth the price.more than most other 40 year old coaches

As another user said usually we hear about details when it goes before the regents for approval.Any word on the updated buyout?

I like the vibe of this music for an end of third quarter thing perhaps everyone screaming gold when it comes around in the song
It really fits the gopher as well.I like the vibe of this music for an end of third quarter thing perhaps everyone screaming gold when it comes around in the song
George Costanza?Damn!! I take a power nap at lunch
I thought he only had a year left on his contract and that's why local media haters were saying he'll probably leave after this season. You can't even trust these people for accurate reporting I guess.this may be a matter of semantics - and bad reporting -
but the media is reporting this as "a new 7-year contract."
What it really is - is a revamped contract with a 2-year extension.
the old contract ran through 2026. the new contract runs through 2028. that is two years.
so, a more accurate headline would be
"Fleck receives 2-year extension with new financial terms."
Also, we don't know what actually is in the buyout terms. That could be stiffer than we assume.this may be a matter of semantics - and bad reporting -

There you go, someone, already answered this question while I was typing.Also, we don't know what actually is in the buyout terms. That could be stiffer than we assume.
Leave to a Twin Cities journalist to say something like that. I think they just say things like that to get Gopher fans riled up. What a tool.“How greedy is PJ Fleck?” - Jim Souhan
“Students will probably go hungry at the university now because of Fleck.” - Jim Souhan
“He’s rich? I don’t care. He’s not as fit as I am.” - Jim Souhan
Where she's his new salary compare with other B1G coaches?
I'd like to see something like Kill had were his assistants pool had to be top half in the big tenI wonder how long until we get details on the increased pay, buyout and assistant pool? Maybe that has to wait for regent approval, but have to think we may know in the next week

Adjust your snarkometer.Leave to a Twin Cities journalist to say something like that. I think they just say things like that to get Gopher fans riled up. What a tool.
My guess is that it was put out to them as a new 7-year contract because it may be exactly that. It would be odd phrasing otherwise. If the U released a statement calling it this, that is what it is.this may be a matter of semantics - and bad reporting -

I raise a glass in agreement. Prost!There are a number of big time head coaching jobs opening up and this is a key year. I think if Fleck wanted to leave this would be his best time to do it. To build our program we need someone to stick around for a long time like Wisconsin and Iowa did.
Anyone can see Fleck gives us an edge in the modern NCAA. He is the guy who can get it done here.
Looking yesterday, there are something like 75 guys that are freshmen or sophomores on the roster. Mix that with anyone that returns and we should be ok. It will be back to the we are young list of phrases.And - taking a cynical approach - this also gives Fleck some insurance in case the team takes a step backwards next year, when they could potentially lose 10 of 11 starters on both offense and defense. Who knows - maybe all the backups are going to step right in and they won't lose a step - but with that much turnover, it's normal to expect a transition period.
I assume Harasymiak is gone within a year or two and the word from Burns was that he was going to take Wilt and Simon as DC & OC respectively.Looks like they added another $350K to the assistants pool with this new deal. Not sure where that total sits now and where that sits in the Big Ten.
EDIT: If Rossi continues at this year's current pace, have to think he is due a very nice raise to keep him. Could also see Harsymiak (sp?) leaving for a lower HC job as I know he was a finalist for at least one last year.
Yes you're correct. I just reread the announcement. I'll take him through 2028 and beyond for that matter.this may be a matter of semantics - and bad reporting -
