by Like most of y’all, I watched that — that beautifully ugly game between Nebraska and Minnesota on Thursday night, in which the Gophers fought back late and stole the game 13-10.
Well, Minnesota head coach PJ Fleck celebrated with his team accordingly (see below).
If you look at a lot of the replies and quote tweets about this video you will see that a lot of people do not like that PJ is celebrating like this… while I don’t expect any Iowa fans to appreciate anything fun, out there and cool, it is still just flat out wrong to shame this kind of behavior!
PJ FLECK IS EVERYTHING THAT IS RIGHT WITH COLLEGE FOOTBALL! There, I said it! As a recruit you should want your coach to celebrate with you like this after a hard-fought conference win, right? Who wants to dramatically comeback and steal a conference game from a quality team (yes, Nebraska is a quality team. That defense is f’real!) and have your coach come in there all bland and say “oh, it shouldn’t have been that close, why are y’all happy?” I would say that’s in Kirk Ferentz’s voice, but let’s be real Iowa ain’t scoring 10 points in under 5 minutes now.
I am tired of people saying that he is making it about himself… like as the head coach of a Power-5 school, are the camera not always directly pointed at you at all times?? It is THEIR program that they’re running, so indirectly, yeah, it is about them! PJ made AN INCREDIBLY ballsy call to try and run it up the middle on 3rd and 17 after just losing like 13 on the previous
down and it paid off! He should be feeling the hype.
And don’t think that we forgot about the attempted hit piece hazing scandal that people tried to start with him after the Northwestern story broke… PJ Fleck is a culture builder! Look at how those players look at him as he goes to celebrate — they love him! As a recruit I don’t know how you can see a game and then a video like that and not want to go play for this man. We stan PJ Fleck here! #MakeCollegeFootballGreatAgain
