Coach Fleck: Best New Hire

Coach Fleck: Best New Hire
Sports Illustrated is celebrating the 'best' of the 2013 college football offseason with the sixth annual Switzies and P.J. Fleck has made such a splash, literally, he was named 'Best New Hire.'

From Sportsillustrated.com:

"Western Michigan coach P.J. Fleck, who painted up his chest for an icy pond jump, and who brought along his wife, Tracy, for the festivities. Tracy, a new mother, jumped into a frozen body of water in a bathing suit, in February, in Michigan. We will never not be in awe of this. "

A video of the Flecks taking the plunge is linked to the article, with this description:

"Here is new Western Michigan coach P.J. Fleck jumping into an iced-over pond for love of team and country, followed by his wife, Tracy. Mr. Fleck has painted his chest like a student section stalwart. Mrs. Fleck had a baby two months ago and is out running around in a bathing suit in the snow. Western Michigan is our favorite MAC team of 2013 already."
