PJ Fleck Reportedly Hired as Gophers Football Coach

Reports are circulating this morning that Central Michigan coach PJ Fleck has been hired as the next head football coach at the University of Minnesota. A press conference officially announcing the news is expected this afternoon at TCF Bank Stadium.

Fleck has reportedly agreed to a six year deal worth more than $20 Million. He had been head coach at Western Michigan, where his team earned a #15 national ranking this year, going undefeated during the regular season -- before losing to Wisconsin in the Cotton Bowl.

Fleck will take over for the fired Tracy Claeys who was dismissed on Tuesday
