Former Players, Staff Reveal Troubling Allegations of Toxic Culture Under P.J. Fleck

[Whitey23]

Over the last month, Front Office Sports interviewed several former players and staff members about Fleck’s six seasons as the Gophers’ head coach. They described an environment fraught with intimidation and toxicity and referenced the “Fleck Bank” — a system that allowed players with enough “coins” to get away with positive drug tests, and other violations of team rules.

Domino from Northwestern - before it is all done the entire conference will be outed for what they are - very interested in maximizing the finances that big time sports can bring in. No more looking down at "those other conferences".

Fleck is a Schiano disciple. Will Schiano complete the scumbag head coach hat trick for the B1G?

I'm shocked I tell you...shocked. Hope Monroe enjoys rowing a sinking boat.

Noooo - not a huge douche who idolizes schiano - IT CANT BE!!!

Screw them - been rooting against them ever since they hired that clown - hope it blows up spectacularly.

And Minnesota fans…they might have delusions of grandeur bigger than Rutgers fans.

Bring those 2024 NY commits back into the fold for Cuse.

WTeff is wrong with these coaches? Do they think no one will ever come forward?

They really do have heads made of meat.

Good I hope both Junior Schiano and Coyle rot in hell

Oh he already has it just hasn’t come out yet. Give it a week.

Meh, nothing really damning in this article other than he’s arrogant who is a to his players, no surprise

It’s open season on finding programs doing this.

Welcome to college sports’ #metoo moment.

Yeah, I should have read the article first. It comes off as the Bernie Fine to Jerry Sandusky. Now reporters are fishing.

The school might have an issue with the Fleck Bank letting you off the hook for a positive drug test. But that stuff is internal. Having players rat on other players to earn points is a weird culture, but again, internal.

The article basically says that Fleck is an incredible douchebag (I need a bigger applause when I enter the room???), but this isn't Fitzgerald level stuff.

“Mark Coyle gives his cell phone number to every single football player in our program”

Football player calls Coyle:

“Ring.. Ring… You have reached AMC Theatre, for today’s showings of Barbie, please press 1”

Unbelievable development for Nick.

What did Mark Coyle know and when did he know it.

It usually takes Coyle 311 days to know

 

[FrancoPizza]

Unbelievable development for Nick.

Bring him back.

 

[BKCuse]

Nice footwork by Fleck to try and diffuse but seems to me there is usually something going on when allegations like these come up

 

[oldpinepoint]

Unbelievable development for Nick.

he's new, he could be the head coach when all is said and done

 

[Cuse181]

Interesting. Fleck bank sounds like the SEC daily.
