So Les is just............done, right?

Pete Thamel reported early this morning that Fleck was “expected” to become the new head coach of the Gopher program, and local reports out of Minnesota have echoed the same sentiment.
Still only 36, Fleck is seen as a master recruiter, motivator and brander, riding his “Row the Boat” mantra to take an average MAC program to a national darling — the Broncos hosted College GameDay this season — behind his relentless program-building efforts and 1,000-watt positivity.
Fleck was the architect of college football’s greatest rise during his four years in Kalamazoo. The Broncos booked a 1-11 mark in Fleck’s 2013 debut, immediately improved to 8-5 in 2014 and went 8-5 again in ’15 before busting through for the program’s first undefeated regular season, its first MAC Championship Game win and its first major bowl appearance this fall. Western Michigan won their first 13 games in 2016, rising as high as No. 14 in the College Football Playoff poll, before falling 24-16 to Wisconsin in the Cotton Bowl on Monday.

The events leading up to PJ Fleck getting this job is unbelievable. Given what's happened, is it even appropriate to say they "lucked" into this hire? Anyway, Fleck is such an upgrade over Tracy Claeys, a coach that did not have a personality to lead a B1G program, even if it is just a middle-of-the-road job.
I have my doubts that P.J. Fleck's salesman approach can work long-term at a program like Minnesota, but the B1G West can really use a coaching upgrade and Minnesota got it. Wisconsin is the only school that consistently churns out good teams.

Yeah. Don't get this move at all for him.
There should be a number of top 15 jobs open next year. And as Herman has shown, a down year following a great one doesn't really hurt your stock.

Great hire. I'll be rooting for him at Minnesota.
