University of Minnesota
The University’s power structure is multilayered and different from those of Minnesota’s pro teams, starting at the top with relatively new U president Joan Gabel.
Board of Regents
This 12-member body, appointed by the legislature, hires the University’s president and must sign off on the hiring of an athletic director, as well as any coaching contract that exceeds the university president’s base salary (currently $640,000).
Joan Gabel
UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT
The former provost at South Carolina became the U’s first female president last year. The president typically hires and fires the athletic director, who handles the coaching personnel decisions.
Mark Coyle
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
Coyle, who took over as Gophers AD in 2016, is in charge of the department’s annual budget and oversees the 23 sports programs. Besides the hiring and firing of coaches, fundraising is a central part of the job.
Sport Administrator
Each Gophers program has its own sports administrator, who helps with specific budget and scheduling issues. Senior Associate AD Tom McGinnis, for example, is the sports administrator for men’s and women’s hockey.
Jeremiah Carter
COMPLIANCE DIRECTOR
His office works to keep each sports program in check under the labyrinth of NCAA rules.
Head coaches
Each coach is CEO of his or her program, tasked with bringing won-loss success and ensuring the well-being of the student athletes. Fleck’s staff includes 10 full-time assistants, and an assortment of football operations types who oversee player personnel, recruiting, video, strength and conditioning, etc. Other sports might have a head coach, one assistant coach and an administrative assistant.
