per the Hibbing Daily Tribune:
Fleck was in Hibbing Wednesday as a part of the Gophers Coaches Caravan, addressing a nice crowd at the Mesaba Country Club about the upcoming season.
Fleck has already conducted spring practices, so the job hardly seems new to him anymore.
“With what we’ve been able to accomplish in the first five months on the job has really been special in terms of recruiting and connecting our team from what they’ve went through the last year,” Fleck said. “It’s bringing people closer to together.
“That’s what coaches do. That’s what educators and teachers do. We’re excited about our future. We have a lot of work to do this summer with 22 kids coming off of off-season surgeries that are finally getting back to somewhat healthy right now. We’re excited about what we’re getting into here.”
What should be different this year with Fleck at the helm?
“I only know what we do and what our culture brings,” Fleck said. “Our players have had three head football coaches in three years. That’s three new ways of thinking, three new cultures.
“We need to bring cultural sustainability to the University of Minnesota football program. That’s why we’re here.”
