"Gophers head football coach P.J. Fleck will receive a one-year contract extension through the 2023 season, a source told the Pioneer Press on Thursday.
The announcement is expected to be made Friday and will need approval from the University of Minnesota’s Board of Regents at an upcoming meeting. Fleck’s deal will then span five more seasons and would expire in January 2024.
Fleck, who received a one-year extension before the regular-season finale a year ago, initially agreed to a five-year, $18 million contract in January 2017. His annual salary started at $3.5 million, with $50,000 increases.
In his first season in 2017, Fleck posted a 5-7 record, which kept the U one win shy of bowl eligibility. In his second season, Fleck’s team improved to 6-6, and Minnesota will appear in the Quick Lane Bowl against Georgia Tech (7-5) at Ford Field in Detroit on Dec. 26.
Minnesota, which has one of the youngest teams in the country, needed to win two of its final three games to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2016.
The Gophers’ 37-15 win over Wisconsin on Nov. 24 was Minnesota’s first victory over the Badgers since 2003, and the U’s first win in Madison since 1994..."
