PJ Fleck Minnesota contract: buyout, base salary and other details from memorandum of understanding

The devil is always in the details.

For the most part, Minnesota fans have been very pleased by Minnesota’s hire of P.J. Fleck. The coaching search was executed quickly (approx 65 hours from Claeys fired to Fleck hired), the quality of the candidate hired, and the cost to the University (Fleck’s contract puts him right above the median B1G salary).

Since the hire though news about Fleck’s contract has been fairly muted outside of confirmation of his yearly salary and the length of the agreement. After locating the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the U and Coach Fleck on KSTP’s website, we wanted to delve deeper into some of the key details.
