Let me be clear, I still think he’s goofy as hell.
Fleck has made Minnesota a respectable program again. Before him, they had Jerry Kill, and most people like Kill because he’s just been around forever and never really bothered anyone.
Then comes along this guy who looks like Johnny Sins, if Sins was a legitimate actor who needed a stunt-double. He makes national news for puking Western Michigan into the Top 25 of the AP/Coaches/CFP polls in 2016. During his four seasons at WMU, Fleck did nothing but improve the Broncos’ program. Some were saying he might be the next Scott Frost. He was that good.
ring-ring! ring-ring!
(It’s Minnesota calling P.J. Fleck)
“Hello?… Ah, Goldy! Good to hear from you! …Coach your football team? That would be lovely! I’m packing up my family and hopping in my canoe right now. I’ll see you in about 4 days!”
All jokes aside (don’t worry there’s more), Fleck has brought something to the Big Ten that the conference has been missing for over a decade. Pure originality.
What have Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State done that’s so impressive in the entertainment department? Major scandals? Pshh, please. Barry Switzer will be laughing with Howard Schnellenberger and Bobby Collins about them in heaven in a few years.
The SEC has had more head coaching characters than Hannah-Barbara for several decades. Fleck has upped the ante for other B1G coaches to express their personality. Be it Bret Bielema being followed by a gaggle of tuba players, or Matt Rhule thanking all 346 people who help prepare the Huskers for gameday during his pressers. “Gina, the lunch lady. The food, it’s always there. She’s incredible. Her dad was fighter plane mechanic back in ‘Nam. Her mom’s favorite show was The Flying Nun. Great family.”
Love him or hate him, P.J. Fleck is doing his part in advertising the conference.
I hoped you enjoy this read, as we near the end of another week and closer toward the actual season. There’s also some form of football on tonight btw.
