U OF M COACH P.J. FLECK TO ROW THE BOAT AS THIS YEAR’S GRAND MARSHAL
The Minneapolis Aquatennial is excited to welcome University of Minnesota football coach P.J. Fleck as this year’s CenterPoint Energy Torchlight Parade Grand Marshal! Coach Fleck became the 30th coach in Gophers football history when he was hired on Jan. 6. Fleck, 36, is one of the youngest and brightest minds in the game. He was named Mid-America Conference coach of the year in 2014 and 2016. He turned Western Michigan’s program around, turning a 1-11 Broncos team in 2013 during his first season into a 13-1 squad in 2016—winning the school’s first MAC championship since 1988 en route to a Cotton Bowl appearance. He will be joined by his family on this year’s Grand Marshal float. Come out and Row The Boat with Coach Fleck! Ski-U-Mah!
