Minnesota’s success deserves scrutiny with Fleck rowing
Listen, I came into this season thinking the Gophers could run the table and pull off their
second double-digit winning season under P.J. Fleck. I was quickly
reminded in a loss to Cal why that was never going to happen.
Fleck has turned around the culture for the Minnesota Gophers, and the program is in the best spot it has seen in years. However, there’s absolutely a ceiling to what he has done, and the floor is ugly.
The win against a ranked
Nebraska team was a fun one, but Fleck has
shucked the Huskers plenty. He continues to get pummeled by Kirk Ferentz and the Hawkeyes, and the latest iteration was the worst we have ever seen.
It doesn’t matter that the Gophers won. It doesn’t even really matter that it was so ugly. By this time though, it matters that the coach is oblivious to the results that constantly have followed him, and glossing over them while failing to be better remains hollow.
At least Fleck can go crowd surfing while being
1-0 in the Michigan State season. They’ll go 1-0 on their second bye week of the season too.
The Minnesota Gophers squeaked by Michigan State on Saturday and P.J. Fleck brought the embarrassment from Iowa City back to Minneapolis.
