Minnesota Golden Gophers head football coach P.J. Fleck denied allegations from former players in a recent report who used the term 'cult' to describe his program.
Fleck’s"Row The Boat" culture, which is a philosophy he discussed in a 2021 book with the same name, is what the former players compared to a"cult."
Head coach P.J. Fleck of the Minnesota Golden Gophers watches the team warm up before a game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Memorial Stadium Nov. 5, 2022, in Lincoln, Neb. As for the Fleck Bank, the six-year Minnesota head coach said it was an analogy he used during his first two seasons with the program in 2017 and 2018. It was to show player investment in the team on and off the field.
"There was no currency ever exchanged," Fleck explained."There was no coins that ever existed. It was an analogy simply to explain investment for life, a life lesson of investment, simply that. No one ever got out of any type of punishment for that.
