Minnesota head coach P.J. Fleck, a former Rutgers football assistant, is getting roasted on social media

P.J. Fleck has seemingly taken a step back this season with Minnesota. The former Rutgers football assistant has seen his Minnesota program regress with Saturday’s loss making the Golden Gophers the only team in the nation to achieve bowl eligibility with a losing record.

Minnesota lost 28-14 on Saturday to Wisconsin.

Last year, Rutgers raided Minnesota to hire Joe Harasymiak in a lateral move as their defensive coordinator. This offseason, in another lateral move, Rutgers hired Kirk Ciarrocca as their offensive coordinator.

Whether the moves by Rutgers over the past two years significantly impacted the Minnesota season is up for debate. But there is no denying that Minnesota was a major disappointment for a second straight season.

Fleck was the wide receivers coach at Rutgers for two seasons beginning in 2010. He was known as an ace recruiter.

Minnesota, picked to be a dark horse to make the Big Ten Championship Game, has been a major disappointment. Fleck’s team lost their last four games to finish 5-7, with only one of those losses coming against a ranked opponent.

This follows up on Minnesota’s performance last year (8-5) in a season where they were once again being talked about as a contender in the Big Ten’s West division.

Let’s be honest, this isn’t an easy job. It is in the Big Ten and while Minnesota is in the weaker of the two divisions, it is still a tough conference. And Minnesota isn’t a state with a huge talent pool of in-state players.
