"But others—including Lesley Higgins, who ran for CU from 1998–2002, and
several more recent athletes, many of whom asked to remain anonymous for
fear of backlash—reported being encouraged to maintain low body fat or
match other athletes’ scores on body composition testing."A Division 1 coach asking an athlete who is receiving money to perform to maintain a body fat % that is conducive to elite performance. The horror.
I might hire him. Just what I am looking for.

There are already posts saying that he did nothing wrong (regarding the body composition testing) and that high-level distance running success depends on having a low body fat, and posts saying that it probably went well beyond that (how did he influence athletes to be thin?).
The report is public and can be accessed here, so people can actually read it and not speculate. (I admit I have not read it, so I choose not to speculate.)

Taken down by a couple disgruntled runners. Not sure how much longer they intended to stay anyway as CU was getting out recruited on a regular basis - so maybe it was time for a change.
I was under the impression that body composition analysis was a better alternative to caliper tests? Now they can't even do that without worrying who will be negatively impacted by the results.
Brosnan will now need to decide whether he wants to coach at FSU or CU.
a bod pod is better than a caliper test but its also not necessary which is the issue. Reducing someone down to a number is just such a high risk/low reward thing and unnecessary. You risk your runner developing a bad relationship with food or their health and the reward is what? Athletes need to have a healthy relationship with food to be able to properly fuel their bodies to get the full benefits of their workouts and training. All a number does is make them want to lower that number regardless of whether its actually an issue holding them back or not.

Heard on pretty good accord that Colorado is looking to hire Lyle Weese from Montana State.
Interesting choice as it's not a name most people are familiar with but I actually think it would work quite well. Hard to argue with 13th at NCAAs this past fall.

Having read the report Heather comes off horribly. Mark not as bad but still abd.

New coach under contract and announcement coming soon after the trials.

Why not look even closer? 90 miles south you have a D1 coach who's had teams in the top 10 and he did it without being able to give out scholarships. Plus he has NCAA experience fighting for a team title as an athlete at Wisconsin.

I think Dathan would be the best get for CU while coaching his Pro group. An all time great alum, olympian and knows the city of Boulder very well that can help with recruiting and keep the winning tradition.. Could have a similar setup to Jerry coaching Bowerman & Oregon and Mike coaching NAU & his pros. If not Dathan, I would love to see longtime NAU assistant Jared Cornfield get the job. He would be a tremendous hire working with Mike for all these years and knows altitude as well. He would be a great head coach.
My realistic list would be
1 Dathan
2 Cornfield
3 Montana State Coach

I could see Chris Solinsky get some interest.
Young, knowledgeable, with past experience working under/with Jerry. He also clearly did well setting Parker Valby up for success at UF.A blue blood program is going to try to hire him at some point, Colorado would be smart to get him before he’s locked in elsewhere

This job will get a ton of attention from top coaches. It may be one of the few programs with which you can take on NAU consistently. Altitude, great trails...it is expensive, but you can live nearby for somewhat normal costs. What coaches/athletes have a past connection to CU?
Ritz and Vig on the high level coaching side stand out.
CU/Boulder isn't what makes them able to compete with NAU consistently, It was Wetmore, it was the program.

David and Megan Roche might be a good shout.
