per the Des Moines Register:
Fleck 'knows that he's a little zany,' but it works
Fleck has reached out to former Gopher stars, inviting them to come back and support the current team. Remarkably, it’s worked. Grimm said he had never seen so many previous players show up as there were last Saturday.
“It’s a fractured alumni base, and some people still have their feelings hurt (from when the coach they played for got fired),” Grimm said. “Fleck is trying to put it all aside.”
Grimm said there’s an impression out there that Fleck is not self-aware, that he doesn’t realize he’s being mocked in some corners. That’s not true, Grimm said.
“P.J. knows that he’s kind of weird. He knows that he’s a little zany,” Grimm said. “Some people think he’s some cartoon character that’s just this puppet, and he’s pumping out slogans that have no substance behind them. But that’s not the case. What you see is what you get. It’s real, and it’s happening.
“It’s also a lot easier to buy in when stuff’s going the way it’s going right now.”
