Minnesota confirms seven-year contract extension for P.J. Fleck
And there you have it.
Overnight, reports surfaced that Minnesota was closing in on an agreement with head football coach P.J. Fleck on a contract extension. Tuesday afternoon, the football program confirmed that Fleck has indeed agreed to a seven-year extension that would keep him with the Gophers through the 2026 season.
The reworked deal still needs rubber-stamped by the university’s Board of Regents.
“Coach Fleck has built a program that competes academically, athletically and socially,” said athletic director Mark Coyle in a statement. “He recruits at an extremely high level and the program is seeing success it has not seen in nearly 80 years. His students are succeeding off the field, as the team has posted a record GPA and continually gives back to the community. I am thankful to President Gabel and the Board of Regents for their continued support, and I look forward to Coach Fleck continuing to lead this program.”
No financial particulars, including buyout information on both sides, have been divulged. Fleck, whose name has been mentioned in connection to the Florida State job, will make $3.6 million this year, which, according to
USA Today‘s coaching salary database, puts him 11th in the 14-team Big Ten.
