It looks like P.J. Fleck won’t be rowing his boat to any new coaching jobs, at least in the near future.
Minnesota announced Wednesday that Fleck has agreed to a new 7-year contract, keeping him with the Gophers through the 2028 season.
“This is home,” Fleck said in the school announcement. “Our family loves it here and we are excited to continue this journey at the University of Minnesota. From day one, we talked about cultural sustainability and how important it is to building a successful football program and life program. Today is another step in that process, and this new contract is a commitment to our elite staff and the entire state of Minnesota. Heather and I are so thankful to our staff, Mark Coyle, President Joan Gabel and the Board of Regents for trusting us to lead this program. Our goal is to recruit and coach at an elite level and to have our young people achieve academic, athletic, social and spiritual excellence. It’s a tremendous honor to lead this program, and we will continue to work to build a culture that connects the entire state.”
Fleck has been at Minnesota since 2017, posting a 62-43 record with the Gophers. Over the past 2+ seasons (2019-present), Minnesota is 24-10 under Fleck.
