Uh oh... someone might want to alert Coach Chaos that PJF is infringing upon his "nekton" mentality.

Whenever Fleck’s players are asked how they’re doing, they’re expected to say, “Elite!”

“And it kind of sounds silly,” Fleck told his players. “You don’t necessarily know what it means. You’ve kind of just taken it and ran with it, which I appreciate.”

Fleck listed three tenets:

“Elite is a nekton mentality.”

“Elite is a Prefontaine pace.”

“Elite is a farmer’s alliance.”

Fleck’s nekton slide showed a great white shark midair, flaring its teeth. Nektons are sharks and other organisms that can swim independent of water conditions.

“They don’t let circumstance dictate their behavior,” Fleck said, switching to a picture of Navy Seals. “These guys actually call themselves nektons. They can fight on land, water or in the air. They are trained for every single circumstance.”

He also noted that great white sharks aren’t satisfied, even if they have just eaten two sea lions for lunch. If they see a third sea lion, they are immediately ready for an early dinner. “You are always attacking, never full,” Fleck said. “… Every. Single. Day.”
 
I don't think there is much to dislike about the guy, I for one will root from him in the west.
 
I can't stand PJ Fleck. I think he actually is the "Coach Hype" that a lot of folks incorrectly depicted Franklin as.
