Isn't Simmons infamous for having his athletes dope? I'm surprised this isn't getting more play as being a red flag.

I've never heard anything about his athletes doping.
BUT, he is a carnival barker, snake-oil salesman, grand self-promoter supreme. Always pedaling something. Always taking credit for something. Always scheming an angle.
Whether it's selling videos, claiming he's the Second Coming, throwing together some half-ass produced clinic, Simmons always has his hand in the cookie jar.
I wouldn't trust him with my training, with my money, with my time, with my life.
Funny. the timing of your post is priceless.
Scott Simmons is tweeting some bizarre nonsense on his twitter account today @adpcoach says, "The sport is not about bald men with yellow flags or 3-piece suits in Indy. It's about athletes and coaches. #takeoursportback"
Who the hell is he referring to that is bald and has a yellow flag? Bolt??
And what is the 3 piece suits in Indy??
No idea what he's talking about. As usual, I'm sure he's drunk again somewhere in Rio and dialing, tweeting and texting.
He is such a loser.
Seems to me like he's referring to the stupid ass old-fart officials DQing everyone with their yellow flags, and the "suits in Indy" are the bumbling fat cats of the USATF

It's a track official, you dildo. Why don't you post your name here with your rant? I'd say that's only fair when you specifically say such things about someone like you did, right? Yeah, that's what I thought. *crickets
Listen, "Keyboard Cowboy" if that is your REAL name. Ha!
Why is my question worthy of being called a dildo or a derp? There are no stupid questions, I was hoping for clarification.
It is a relevant question because Simmons hashtag on his tweet is so odd. If you search it, there are only 3 tweets on all of twitter with that hashtag. He's an odd duck, Simmons.
Simmons would have been a lot clearer to say "stupid ass old-fart officials DQing everyone" and "the bumbling fat cats of USATF" instead of using such random, vague references. He's obviously been drinking AGAIN and tweeting out imprecise and unclear statements. The guy is a drunk.
I'm sorry. I am the dildo for calling you names.
I was rude and I apologize for my comments.
Mea Culpa.
I'll just say it again:
He may or may not dope his athletes, who knows.
Coach Simmons is a carnival barker, snake-oil salesman, grand self-promoter supreme. Always pedaling something. Always taking credit for something. Always scheming an angle.
Whether it's selling videos, claiming he's the Second Coming, throwing together some half-ass produced clinic, Simmons always has his hand in the cookie jar.

Ultimately, Bor is part of the Army team under Browne's umbrella and I don't think Browne would or could dope his athletes as an Army coach. Simmons, Simmons runs his own team- so who knows.
I think that once the Olympics are over, Simmons will get hired at some small college and disappear for a while. What he does is unsustainable financially and he piece meals these trips to Rio and elsewhere by selling his how to videos and seminars. He's a hack who didn't have any major success in Rio.
It's tiresome to watch him sell his schpeel like a carnival barker out of the truck of his car.
He's pathetic, a drunk, but I don't know that he dopes athletes. I think he just dips into the well to often and drinks bottom shelf liquor.
Bor would be wise to fire Simmons and have Coach Browne take over his career.
So much potential but he's with a poor quality coach.
Dude ... assuming you are a dude, you sound like some jilted ex-girlfriend. Get over it. Every time the name "Simmons" comes up, you post crap, you need to move on and let it go. Clearly, you know a lot about him, and clearly you have an axe to grind. Man up and spill your beans about how Simmons pissed you off, or STFU.

Dude- something is obviously up with Simmons. Too many of us can see through him and react negatively whenever his name comes up. He's a snake oil salesman that creeps me out. He's up to no good, and his only priority is himself.
Bean to spill? Just look at his shady history and sketchy resume.
Sounds like you are his defender or maybe even his kooky wife the psychic healer.
FYI: Clarification (for what it's worth). I was the original poster of "Red Flag. Black Flag." I posted once. That's it. Someone else usurped the name after that & assuming that name's identity. If that person feels as anti-Simmons as my post, that's cool. Just post under a new name, please.

Bottom line, Simmons is a a carnival barker, and doesn't miss a single opportunity to plug his non-profit American Distance Project. He's a booster of track and cross country because it profits him. He is a self promoter and uhh, you know, like you know, losing his hair and growing it out to look more professional, or crazy. Can't decide which.
This latest YouTube video of Simmons is like, 'you know' about self promotion

If birds are considered "men" then this could be what he's talking about:

Could be this, except it's not yellow, it's Black Flag, but the guys ARE kinda bald:
