The Minnesota Golden Gophers announced a contract extension for head coach P.J. Fleck on Wednesday.
The deal adds one year to his original contract, extending it through the 2030 season. According to the Associated Press, Fleck’s annual $6 million contract is unchanged with the new deal.
The veteran coach enters his ninth season at the helm in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 2025. He has a 58-39 overall record, including six bowl appearances and a 4-4 record against the rival Wisconsin Badgers. The Gophers recently evened that record with a 24-7 triumph over the Badgers to close the 2024 season.
The program’s press release notes that Fleck’s winning percentage (.597) is third-best in program history among those with at least 45 career games. Entering his ninth season, he’ll soon be one of Minnesota’s longest-tenured.
Wisconsin will close its 2025 season on the road in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Nov. 29. After losing all three trophy games for the first time in program history (Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota), by a combined score of 110-42, it goes without saying that the Badgers reclaiming Paul Bunyan’s Axe would go a long way toward redirecting the program’s trajectory in a positive direction.
