per McCoy:
When P.J. Fleck runs through the tunnel and onto the field of TCF Bank Stadium for his first game as head coach of the Gophers, it will be the culmination of a lifetime of working his way up to this point.
“I’ll be honest with you, because I’m not one of those coaches that ignore what you’ve done in your life. Just my wife was walking through the grocery store the other day with me and somebody stopped us, and somebody was very positive and somebody else stopped us and was very negative, and it was just amazing,” Fleck said. “And we kind of got talking about our career and our path and all the lives we’ve touched and all the lives that have touched us, and you kind of reflect back on your life a little bit.”
It’s been quite the journey for Fleck, from undersized, under-recruited receiver, to playing in the NFL, to building Western Michigan into a winner, to becoming a head coach in the Big Ten — and to be one of the youngest in the country to do it.
“And that’s a big deal to me. That’s a big deal. That’s a big deal to our staff and, you know, I’m never going to downplay that,” Fleck said.
