A lot has been made about Jerry Kill’s pre-game comments heading into the Gophers opener next week and the return of Kill to Minnesota. Gophers P.J. Fleck came out and said that in all the years he’s coached, he’s never not shaken a coaches hand, and that will include Coach Kill, despite Kill recently saying he didn’t know if he’d do the same. This news and more from the the press conference:
“I have been a head coach for 10 years. I’ve never not shaken the hand of a head football coach.”#Gophers HC PJ Fleck when asked if he plans to shake Jerry Kill’s hand on September 1st.
