P.J. Fleck: Players' Coach

What makes a head coach a "players' coach"?

[@barrypeterson6725]

Coach Fleck is turning the UofM program around!

[@SuperLooneyrooney]

i think he is turning the whole state around

[@rundoggie117]

This guy sets the bar and an example to everyone around him. He makes me wanna be a better person just watching him on and off the field:)

[@mylesanderson1445]

Eons ahead of Kill or any other Gophers coach I've ever seen. Hope their record shows it this year! Ski u Mah! ROWTHEBOAT!

[@dans.7002]

Agreed. I've come to realize that Kill was overrated and him and Cleays are not the good guys they pretend to be. The comments made by both of them since Cleays' firing prove that. Same goes for Cleays' sister. Man was she mouthy.

ROW THE BOAT!!!!!!!!!

[@stephenbecklin9323]

Currently studying to be a professor, and this man embodies everything I want to be as a teacher and a mentor. The genuine care for his players and insistence that their personal growth is of paramount importance is simply inspiring. God bless you, Coach Fleck. Go Gophers!

[@brentpeterson5526]

They only care about themselves. Lies to players that he's coming back. Then signs with a new team. They're all about the $$$$.

Brent Peterson You’re a cry baby BITCH Brent. You even have the worst name ever created. Go fuck yourself clown.

[@connorgoss7489]

I don’t see 2019 being THE year but I think 2020 will be a breakout year for Minnesota

[@gqqq5042]

2019 is looking like a breakout year so far

[@ilikewaffles889]

Connor Goss Looks like you were a year off...this is THE year

[@nofurtherwest3474]

@@ilikewaffles889 It would be hard to top this year. He needs to leverage this to recruit the best players possible.

[@carefulcarpenter]

It is so hard to predict human emotions. A healthy mind, body, and spirit is *Golden* (diamond). This week the players discovered the diamond within is real. So is yours. Find it! cc 🌿🐡💎

[@doylehurt2014]

People need to stop hating on PJ Fleck and the gophers! I do admit did he inherited some very good talent, but that talent didn’t necessarily fit his scheme. Love what he’s doing in Minnesota! Go Gophers!!

[@Charlie-i8r]

I'm a WVU fan but I'm a huge BIG 10 fan and I get get enough about this team! Keep grinding guys yall are a blast to watch this year!

[@rubytuesday9539]

Hey, I grew up in WV and have followed their program. Their new coach is similar to Fleck, isn't he? Maybe not quite as amped up, but who is? I hadn't been to a Gopher game in years but so glad I went last week, absolutely incredible event. Now I'm going to Iowa City this weekend! Yeah, gophers now seem like like America's darlings.

[@Charlie-i8r]

@@rubytuesday9539 yea I like Neal Brown alot! Dana left WVU in a mess he did not recruit well his last season, which credit to Dana he we were still transferring from the Big East to the Big 12. But I have alot of hope for Neal Brown I would love to have another Pat White type of team! We shall see!

This guy is the real deal. He earns the respect of the players and helps them with there problems so they could consitrate in the game.

P.J. Fleck is a wonderful man and he loves his players.

[@brentpeterson5526]

They only love the $$$$. There's no loyalty. He'll leave Minnesota for the next big job.

[@maroinmybones]

@@brentpeterson5526 Such a negative cynical response!!!

@@brentpeterson5526 that 7 year contract he signed tells a different story.

[@alanle1471]

A players coach and superior motivator, who will eventually take the Gophers to a B1G title. Maybe in his fourth year. More likely in his fifth year.

[@ilikewaffles889]

I Like Waffles That is possible. First beat Iowa, Wisconsin,Northwestern and then Ohio State.

Stop using "Row the boat". That was WMU's rally cry. Get a new one. That's weak.

[@maroinmybones]

Wrong, that was PJ Fleck who came up with it to teach and motivate....and he can use it wherever and whenever he wants, lol.

[@brentpeterson5526]

Yeah he did start that but it was entrenched at WMU. Promised recruits he was staying then took a new job. All these coaches are the same. Enjoy him at UM. He won't be there forever.

[@maroinmybones]

@@brentpeterson5526 entrenched, lol, he was there for 3 years and it was a big deal for one....relax, and besides....its Western....like Central and Eastern....NOBODY cares, lol.

[@bbfflking]

I believe the Broncos and Coach Fleck settled on the use of that mantra in 2017. Great to be following him as both a Gopher and Bronco alumni myself....... rivergrandrapids.com/wmu-announces-details-of-agreement-giving-p-j-fleck-row-the-boat/
