New coach.. what in the hell do I do?

I am a junior running track and my sophomore Pr's are 9:43 for the 3200 and 4:26 for the 1600. Our old coach was fired for failing a faculty drug test so the football coach took over due to lack of funds. Things have gotten out of hand in more ways then one. What do I do about this situation? Thanks in advance.

Today at practice:

30 suicides, 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, and 10 minutes of wall sits. Afterwards he told me I looked like a "damn pansy" for wearing Nike split legs and that Im only allowed to wear basketball/gym shorts from now on. He also said my push up stance looked like a "puppy trying to pee"

I can deal with the blatant disrespect, but will these workouts get me to 9:30 and 4:20? If not, what in gods name do I do?

Facepalm: "gods [sic] name" and 'like a "puppy trying to pee".' You're a student. Please try to punctuate properly. Dumb and peeing like a puppy are no way to go through life, son.

I was looking for advice on what do to, not a grammar lesson. Douche.

Hackneyed premise but decent execution

Unsure of 3200 potential but all state troll team is a possibility if you continue to put in the work.

Hey man that sounds like a rough situation, but that guy is right. Pissing like a pup is no way to get ladies, now start acting like a grownup and punctuating properly. Besides, you need an attitude re-adjudication, those namphy pamphy "PRs" aren't going to get you anywhere in life, but respect can get you jobs, suckys and most importantly, cold hard cash. So first things first, slap yourself right across the face, look in a mirror, and say "I'm sorry coach ______, I've been a little pup and I want to be a big dog." If you can manage to punctuate that correctly you're on the right track. Secondly, I surbscribe to dozens, and I mean DOZENS, of running email lists, and let me tell you, not a one, NOT A SINGLE ONE, leaves out weight training. If I were you (which I'm not cause you kind of like a bitch) I would start listening to what your coach says. I mean, come on, the guy is a high school football coach, they don't just give that title to any football players dad like they would with a cross country team. God, you should count yourself lucky, any cross country coach that can't pass a drug test is either too stoned to remember to take a diuretic or too coked out to figure out when to stop coking up. A football coach is a pillar of excellence though, right up there with the great men of history like Jerry Sandusky or that rapist guy from Duke. Sure these guys liked chucking their meat in to underage meat grinders, but that doesn't mean they knew jackshit about coaching. So you just sit tight, stop being a little b-word (bitch) and start listening to that their coach of yours. With any luck, you might just learn something.

Get your school to hire a distance assistant, get all the parents of athletes on the team to demand it. Surely there is some teacher with the brain to read daniels and implement a basic program at your level even if he or she hasn't run in the past. If that doesn't work, run on your own in the mornings before school and half asss that idiot's workouts.

You don't need no damn assistant running coach, just run sixers a day and don't get shot by the gooks, that's what we did in 'nam and it produced Steven Prefontaine.You think you know more than Profontaine?

I agree with guy_xc_guy. The sixers and gooks were essential to producing Steve Profonte. Instead of hiring a coach hire a couple of sexy asian water boys. They can help hydrate your team as well as provide some incentive eye candy during workouts.
