OT: PJ up for UCLA job

Imagine wanting PJ Fleck

He already has the botox and hormone replacement started and looks like He stole Seth Rollins wardrobe, I think He is holding out for the Cal Berkeley Job Myself.
Heavens no!
Anywhere but Berkeley
 
The fickle Minny fans bought into his “Row the Boat”, rah rah rah, BS. They don’t know any better as anyone old enough to remember the glory days has dementia now. As an Iowan living up here, it’d be interesting to make a goodwill run at some point to see how stocked the racks would be with row the boat clothing if he leaves. It is crazy how many of my friends bought into it and think he’s great, never minding he only had one good season where he still lost to Iowa and Wisconsin.

UCLA fans don’t really care about football. His shtick won’t go over well there. He already complains about not enough NIL money at Minny, when his only major competition at the school is hockey and volleyball. Just wait until he sees all the NIL money go towards men’s BBall at UCLA.
 
If so, why?
Lol. Exactly.

Why would UCLA think Fleck would elevate their program (or I should say row them to greater shores)?

Fleck had success at, what, Western Michigan? Then he pretty much has kept Minnesota status quo with what the Gopher program has done for much of the past two decades. Add in the baggage that comes with PJ Fleck, and…yeah, what am I missing?
 
Just think, this conversation had to have happened at some point:

'Honey, do you think these capri pants will make me look taller at the game today?'

I do not get the PJ hate. He has been good for the Hawkeyes until the bogus replay call on the return. If I was him, I would get a big "set for life " contract from UCLA and run with it.

I saw a tweet yesterday that UCLA may have interest in Tommy Rees. For those of you unaware Rees was recently the O coordinator under Saban at Bama, then before that I believe he was O coordinator at Notre Dame under Kelly. He also played QB for Notre Dame.
 
I guess the thought here is Fleck recruits top forty classes at Minnesota, but can take advantage of being in Los Angeles. Completely forgetting USC with an all in football mindset can't even keep Oregon from cherry picking So Cal kids.

Riley may not have the chops to win a playoff game, but he isn't a total goofball. Fleck is a catchphrase, covered up with a goofy slogan he spent money to copyright.

Is it easier to recruit to Westwood or Minneapolis?
 
Fleck's agent likely floated his name.

The new contract is probably being written as I post this.
If I’m the Minnesota AD, I say go ahead and see if UCLA will take him and his stripper wife in LA. Perfect for those two egomaniacs as a contract extension and raise won’t be made to keep him at Minny.
 
Meanwhile, it’s being reported in Tucson former Arizona coach Jedd Fisch interviewed at UCLA despite already being hired at Washington. The guy redefines coaching loyalty, and not in a good way.

Problem for Minnesota is very few people view the Gopher job as a good one.
So the candidate replacement pool is likely pretty shallow.
