per USA Today:
First-year Minnesota football coach P.J. Fleck broke down what it will take to make the Golden Gophers contenders during an interview with USA TODAY Sports -- and it includes loud music and spraying water at his players.
“It’s the ability to focus,” Fleck said. “I think that everything we do is to not let the circumstance dictate your behavior. Whether that’s crowd noise -- using certain songs that are actually about pressure -- or whether that’s squirting people with water bottles. We do bets on shaving each other’s heads when they miss a field goal or miss a throw or don’t punt it inside the 20. But it’s constantly putting them in high-pressure situations."
Fleck departed Western Michigan after a 13-1 season that included a Cotton Bowl berth. He’s taken over a Minnesota program that has made five consecutive bowl appearances but hasn’t won a conference title since 1967.
“I think this is a sleeping giant of college football,” Fleck said. “I really believe that. We haven’t won a championship in 50 years, but that’s the opportunity to become a legend."
