No more group for Jonesy

Hey, he still has all those sub-elite chicks.

Rizzo was unhappy with Hansons and now is unhappy with Steve Jones.

Hartman was upset with how he was treated with Hudson and now he is unhappy with how he is being treated by Steve Jones.

It makes me laugh how these guys can never be happy.

Jonesy is way too good to waste his time with pretenders like this.

All of these guys will retire in the next couple years and blame their mediocrity on their coaches.

What subelite chicks? Fee Docherty, who else?

Cabada won US marathon champs with Jonesy training.

Hartmann won Twin Cities (BIG PR) under Jonesy training.

both brought back from the dead.

is that a smart move?

this is what happens when you throw a group of pretty quick guys together. they all end up comparing the size of their dicks and it all goes to shambles.

funny post - but true

These athletes think they are better than they are. Jonesy has done a great job, as did their previous coaches.

When I hear these guys talk about being Olympians, I laugh. You just finished 9th and 10th in a race that did not include Hall, Meb, Ritz, Abdi, or anyone else that will be representing the USA in London.

Jonesy will forever be Jonesy and that is a good thing. One of the toughest SOB's ever. If self centered pretenders can't learn from him then they are losing out.

Hansons will continue to do great things for American Distance running. Probably have another Olympian in 2012 (Davila) that was overlooked by all major shoe companies coming out of college.

Brad Hudson is one of the most knowledgable coaches in the world. He made the mistake of falling out of favor with Nike.

This is a great thread. Not quite the bashing of Coach Jones that was anticipated?

what do you mean they left to form their own group? all 3 of them actually agreed on a new training location and coach?

Troop is the coach, Rizzo and Hartmann are the brats he's babysitting.

There's a whole harem of them. They whipped up all the drama that Hartman talks about. A lot of other guys got out because of it, too.

The jealousy of these guys is phenomenal. Jonesy is a legend. Rizzo and Hartmann are retarded.

Indeed. Troop has never run as fast as Jones did, and Hartmann and Rizzo never have and never will. They would have been solid also-rans in any major marathon years ago, just like they are today. Maybe they'll wind up with Dr. Coach Jason, PhD. or Marshall Burt when they find out that Troop can't miracle their asses to the Olympics.

it is fairly obvious why these guys couldn't get along with their previous training situations.

I wouldn't mind getting into that harem...

Boulder Harriers = Jorge

Who else is left? Cabada gone, Troop gone, Hartmann gone, Carney gone.

One month ago Jonesy coached an Olympian and a bunch of hot chicks. Today he stll coachs an Olympian and a bunch of hot chicks.
