Fleck is a clown!

I know I’m in the minority but I believe that Fleck is a good coach and has delivered for Minnesota. 66-44 overall, 8 or more wins in 5 of 9 seasons at MN and 7-0 in bowl games. I don’t care for his antics but the guy can flat out coach.
Still has a losing conference record overall having spent most of his time in the Big Ten west. Can't ever beat Iowa (fair catch game doesn't count), and I don't think he's ever beaten Wisconsin when they had a decent team. He's staking a good career of beating weak non con opponents and everybody else in the west. Good enough for Minnesota in this era, but check in after a few more years of the expanded conference and the disappearence of the west. He might surprise me, but right now he's not good, but 'good enough.'.

Fleck's act would get old for most fanbases.

Fortunately for him, Gophers can't do any better, so he's got adequate job security.

And for those saying he's a good coach..
he's not a good "in game" coach...just watch nearly every Minnesota vs Iowa game since he's been in the TCs.
His bowl winning streak is the direct result of always, or nearly always, playing shiity teams in mid tier bowls.
This.

Not in love with his antics. More often than not, Minny is a tough out. That's Fleck's doing.

What numbers are you referencing? Fleck has a higher win percentage

Nevertheless, Ferentz has dominated the head-to-head matchups. I doubt you will find a Hawk fan, myself included, who would rather have Fleck.
Fleck 59.2% (60% at MN) Ferentz 59.7% (62% at Iowa)
