per Maize & Brew:
"What does P.J. Fleck bring to Minnesota?"
P.J. Fleck will be the fourth first-year head coach that Michigan faces in its first nine games of 2017.
On one hand, those situations often mean a program was struggling last season or will be going through a system transition this season — both good things for Michigan. On the other hand, it means you can't quite know entirely what to expect.
Here's what we can expect from Fleck: a ton of energy and quickly developing talent.
You don't often find yourself at Big Ten schools like Minnesota without some serious success at a previous coaching stop. In his first stint as a head coach, all Fleck did was take lowly Western Michigan and put it on the college football map. After going 22-27 in the four seasons before Fleck's arrival, he led the Broncos to a 30-22 mark in his four years in Kalamazoo.
Last season, he catapulted the program to an undefeated regular season, a New Years Six berth and a No. 15 final national ranking. His star wide receiver, Corey Davis, was taken 5th overall in this year's NFL Draft, and two other Broncos were also selected.
And now, Fleck is bringing all of that to Minneapolis.
Reason to fear? Not quite. But you better believe this Minnesota squad will be surging in the right direction very quickly.
