I think this absolutely needs to be on the Husker board...
Fleck has been long pilloried on this board and has more than his share of critics... and quite frankly, I am not sure I like him much at all...
But... He took over a scandal plagued program (not safe for work if you can recall)... where a number of players got kicked off the team under a sort of Title IX situation.
Sounds like he is opportunistic and interested in self preservation - hence willing to make changes and not a very loyal person...
Not sure I like that, and not implying anything otherwise, but our encounters and outcomes with him in two years / three season have been instructive to say the least.

- Jerry Kill and his crew - who he followed, and had once worked for - dissed him pretty heavily.
- His first year against us and MR; his QB goes for 183 yards on 10 carries and 3 TDs and promptly gets benched and run off... they beat us 54-21
- Last year, we smoke them 53-28; Ziggy torches them early, they stay in the game Morgan gets them late... Fleck promptly fires is Defensive Coordinator and they go on to finish the season well and are now 6-0 this season.
- Last night they dominated us in every phase of the game, and in areas they were supposedly were weak and we were strong. Particularly the run game with an alleged weak O-Line and our D-line being strong.
