Gary needs to be coached and not Just run. Gary can be one of the best with proper development and better coaching

Hence why he should enter the portal to transfer and find out how good he can be.

"weak" lol i suppose if you ignore race results
I saw the results and Gary didn’t come close to making the final

Kind of funny how all the big names say they “were sick” when they didn’t perform to their expectations. Just say you didn’t perform as well as you had hoped. You at least tried your vest

Gary Martin is not as talented as you all think. He's just never going to be a 3:32 guy. It's his genetics.
His muscle fiber type is best for 3k/5k but he is too tall and heavy. His build is good for 800m but he doesn't have the speed and turnover.
He's doing better than I expected him to do in college at UVA. Their 800m guy Cohen is a BEAST, Mountain is the favorite to win the steeplechase and his teammate Porter qualified in the 1500 for the final.
Hard to blame the training when everyone else on the team is doing so well. Gary is just not what you think he is.
I like where you're going with this...someone get the message to Vin that Gary's now a steeplechaser, stat!

That’s some serious defamation of character, and it’s gutless of you to do it anonymously. You’re also lying about him being fired.

Lananna was fired at Oregon and Stanford that’s no secret. Being asked to leave is the same thing.
It’s one thing to not be liked for being cocky and arrogant, but Lananna is NOT liked for the way treats people.
There is a big difference

Actually, Shane ran 1:48 and change at Tampa as an underclassman (and made the NCAA DII final twice) and then developed a femoral stress fracture during xc his senior year which is why he only ran 1:53 as a senior, but yes, he has improved under Vin.

This sums up Lananna’s career in a nutshell

Why panic if he doesn't make the final. Maybe he's just not as good as the majority of the field. He should consider moving up 5000m.

Vin is both a good coach and a thorn in many people's side (Sean Brosnan situation, previous two schools, reputation of him first, potential athletes second, athletes third, and other coaches dfl), they don't need to be mutually exclusive points. I think while Gary Martin did improve, it's a little hard to tell if it's because of his drive to succeed despite circumstances, or because of solid coaching.
One less-than-deal does not a failed season make, that's for sure(@parvej khan), and if any season is make or break it'll be next year.
For an athlete trending up and a coach trending down, it's something to be wary about.

Love how people that can’t get their sh!t together are experts at what others should do.

Great, let's find him a new coach/program that Letsrun would approve of:
BYU/Eyestone - "age cheating"
OSU/Smith - doesn't recruit enough Americans
Colorado/Wetmore - also too old
Oregon/Jerry - Injured all his top recruits
Stanford/Santos - wastes a ton of talent
Washington/Powell - can't win in xc
Tennessee/Carlson - hasn't built the vols quickly enough
UNC/Milt - couldn't win the big one at Stanford
Harvard/Gibby - Training is not sustainable
Wild how Mike Smith is the only competent coach in D1.

Problem is he signed a Brooks NIL
21 -
Yes because signing a Brooks NIL (signing any NIL as a runner is a big deal) was a dumb move. Thanks for the expert analysis books

Milt has been solid for UNC, at least on the distance side, coaching the hell out of two stud athletes in Wolfe and Strand.
