Fleck Named to Watch List for 2019 Dodd Trophy

University of Minnesota football coach P.J. Fleck was named to the midseason watch list today for the 2019 Dodd Trophy by officials from the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. Fleck is one of 22 coaches on the list.

The Dodd Trophy, which is one of college football's most coveted coaching awards, celebrates the head coach of a team who enjoys success on the gridiron, while also stressing the importance of scholarship, leadership and integrity – the three pillars of coach Bobby Dodd's philosophy.

The midseason watch list was created through a selection process by the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, taking into consideration each program's current performance during the 2019 season, Academic Progress Rate (APR), and each coach's commitment to service and charity in the community.

Minnesota is 6-0 this season and ranked No. 20. The Gophers also have an APR score of 978 and have participated in more than 1,100 document volunteer hours under Fleck's leadership.

Go Gophers!!
 

He's totally going to win this.
 





Looks like 10 of the 22 have higher APR's, including Saban. Hmmm....

Somehow we are at 978 APR and Jerry Kill was at 994 for 3 straight seasons.
But we needed to improve those scores with the hiring of PJ. Hmmm

Fleck didn’t replace Jerry Kill.
 






That’s enough. You’ve established your opinion on Fleck quite distinctly.l and your loyalty to Kill and Claeys. Noted. This program needed an infusion of “different” and that’s exactly what we got in PJ. I just turned 50 and this is by FAR the most promising outlook and direction this program has looked in decades. Don’t like his persona? Fine...but you can’t argue with his results.
