Shama: Contract Extension for P.J. Fleck Reportedly in the Works

I'm not sure why they don't just put automatic 1 year extensions in his contract. Many coaches have that. Unless U rules/state law prohibits it for some reason.

What about periodically rewarding someone who continues to be modestly successful at a resource deficient program in a conference full of resource heavy programs? Fleck isn't a conference title contender but we've consistently punched above our weight class, even if it isn't to the extent that some here want to see. His teams buy in and perform on the field, they're achieving in the classroom, and they do a ton of community volunteer work. I'm cool with it. It's like a cost of living adjustment where the comparative wages are other coaches within the conference. If a caveat is that some if it has to be spent on improving the coordinator salary pool, even better.

I agree. I like what Fleck is doing with recruiting, the portal and maintaining a majority of the high impact players in the program. I see quality depth with the 2026 team. Probably more than we have ever had across the roster. In this new world of college football, the next step with the program is to be able to compete better with the top tier teams and catch Iowa. But we need the proper financial backing from the University. I think most will agree with that. Tough schedule. I have us beating Iowa in 2026. I have us at 8-4 or 9-3 depending on the improvement and development in the trenches. On paper, it looks much better but it still needs to transfer to the field. Big things coming for the Gophers! Fleck is our guy. Just my opinion.

Increased assistants pool, please.

PJ should take more heat for consistently negotiating his salary to be above the standard of his assistants compared to the rest of the league. It’s pretty clear PJ does not value assistants bc they aren’t priority when extension time comes around.

A contract to automatically extend a contract?
