Fleck, like most people, has his own personality. Some people like him. Some people don't. His players seem to enjoy playing for him. He seems to be honest and seems to work hard. Many of my friends and relatives have tatoos. I don't, but tatoos have been pretty mainstream for awhile and, as long as we still have some semblance of freedom in this country, you can get a tatoo or not. It's a personal choice, as it should be.

I see no reason to take personal shots at a Big Ten coach who puts a competitve team on the field, abides by the rules, and coaches his own way. But that's probably just me.

Just some context. Some incredible officiating (outside their actual job description, by reofficiating a play they were not even reviewing for, not something they are allowed to do by the way), allowed Fleck his ONLY win vs Kirk. Just sayin.....

I don’t personally like the guy’s shtick but I don’t know how anyone could say that Fleck has been a bad hire at Minnesota. He has succeeded pretty well despite a lackadaisical fanbase as well as a fickle and sometimes hostile TC press. Pay the man.

That 2019 game in Kinnick was classic. Did Eppy get another pressure on their QB or was it Joe Evans.

Go Hawks ✌️

Went to the game last year. Upon leaving, fans were praising our coach and expressed how tired they were of theirs.

Interesting point I heard on radio.

boosters are now funneling money to players and having the cash on hand to buyout coaches might not be what it once was.

I also think long extensions for coaches to let recruits know they are committed is a complete waste of time. An athlete will leave any time the money is right.

Rules will be changing in the next few years. There will be player contracts.

When NIL (income earned by Athletes from private entities ) gets limited in a court case and withstands appeal at the highest level you might have something.

Won't need to. Employment contracts with the university will be binding and won't let them depart annually like now.

An employment contract that says you can’t do commercials for McDoanlds ?

Apparently you missed that classic photo
If that is Fleck then I just lost a lot of respect for him.

Granted, I've never been accused of being a high fashion model, but he's B10 football coach! Whatever dude! Stop letting your wife dress you....
