Here’s everything Minnesota Gopher football coach PJ Fleck said on November 6th
Minnesota Gopher Football: Quotes from Minnesota head football coach PJ Fleck as he reviews the Illinois loss, plus looks ahead to his team’s first road game of November against the Purdue Boilermakers.
Minnesota head coach PJ Fleck: “Obviously disappointing loss on Saturday. Appreciate all of our fans being there on a Military Appreciation Day. Thanks to all the service men and women that are in our armed forces and protect our country. So just want to say thank you to all of you.
We didn’t do our part on the field. Congratulations to Illinois. But now we’re looking forward to Purdue and guys had a great day coming in yesterday. Really good start to the week.”
YOU GUYS HAVE GIVEN UP TWO GAME-WINNING DRIVES, WHAT ARE THE SIMILARITIES IN THE AREAS TO FIX?
Minnesota head coach PJ Fleck: “We’ve also had a lot of times we stopped people, too. When you look at look at both sides, right? Because you’re looking at we could have had those two and we look back at the other side, and maybe there’s two that we ended and we won with. This team could be 3-6 or it could be 7-2. We look at only the losses that should be wins. And I think that you got to look at as a whole piece in your head football coach.
But to your comment, you’re 100% right to your question. 100% Right. Northwestern game and the end of this Illinois game have a lot of similarities with a one play breakdown in communication shouldn’t happen and can’t happen. I gotta do a better job coaching it, it’s simple. That all falls on me anyway. But you can’t have that lack of communication where you think you have a little bit more support inside than you then you think you do when you don’t.
It forces you to be a little more aggressive than when you shouldn’t be. But again, that’s a miscommunication piece, and that falls on the coaching staff.”
