Who really cares how fast or slow someone runs? Coaching requires a different skill set then running fast does.
Lets get to some big jobs that are still opened?

I don't think the poster was saying you have to be a fast runner to be a good coach. Erin Dawson was saying she "guided" her Texas team to the NCAA XC, when in fact she was a back of the packer (or is she claiming that she coached the Texas team?). She was back of the pack all year:
ERIN RODRIGS (Sr.)
UT Overall
Event Finish Finish Time
Texas State Invitational 5th 5th 18:37
Texas State Cross Country Classic 4th 5th 18:03
Pre-Nationals 6th 168th 23:04.9
Big 12 Championships 7th 66th 24:23.2
NCAA Regional 7th 53rd 23:10
NCAA Championships 6th 230th 22:30.4
and then there was the claim that she coached all those African men at
Arizona. None of it true. These things don't get you much credibility with
the LetsRun crowd.
