In an era where you have to run 3:56 or faster to qualify for nationals, a 4:06 or 4:07 is pretty crap for people who are supposed to be some of the best. Back in the day I opened up in a 4:07 on a 200 flat track and then ran mid 13:40's for 5k. If they did that it would be a disappointment today. Even if they run 13:35 that's not going to qualify for nationals and it's not better than what they did in high school. At that age it shouldn't be hard to keep improving every year.
Sure thing. That's why 300 college teams won't hire him because he is so good.
I know a college that offered him a job and he turned it down. I don’t think he’s taking college jobs from what I’m told.
Brosnan was on the Just Athletics podcast about a week ago and talked about a high school offering him a job, but didn't mention any colleges offering him a job. He did say some college athletes have approached him individually, however. Here's what he said during that podcast about his future plans:
"I'm not going to go back to high school coaching. I'm not going to go back to teaching. And that's fine. And, like, I thought about it -- I thought, 'Maybe I just do that again and build up another team and show everyone like I can do it at another school too. I mean, maybe not at the magnitude of Newbury Park, but I believe I can get another team out there on the podium'....
"It does lead to the bigger question. What's next for me?.... I don't have people pouring in, but I've had, shockingly, some very good athletes that have approached me like, 'Hey, I heard you're starting a group. Is this true?... Is this happening after the Olympics, or whatever?' So that's the plan. The plan is to start a pro group, and that's what I'm in the midst of trying to do. And I don't want to say too much because I have a lot of stuff going on, and try to work out those details.
"So I do have a few people now that have reached out. Ironically, I've had some people reach out that were, like, in colleges. I'm like, 'I can't help you, man.' [laughs] But these are like good guys, like top all-American guys. I'm like, 'What in the world? Like, I can't -- you have a coach'.... No, I don't get involved with that...
"Even the high school thing. Like if I showed you my DMS, so many high school kids want me to like private-coach 'em. But I just don't want to private coach. I don't find anything wrong with it. I just don't want to do that. I don't want to be a high school private coach.... I've had one high school call [offering a job]. I kindly said, 'No, thank you.' And they offered me a teaching job, too. And I was like, 'No, I'm good, I'm good.' So we'll figure that out."
Sure thing. Top NCAA runners want him to coach them. Think how silly that sounds. A kid runs 13:25 after running 8:55 in high school and the want a different coach? He such a blowhard.
