Which current Pro Coach is most loved by his athletes?

RoJo

I believe that it is the only woman that was on the team in 2020 that is still on the team.

The one with the ever-changing hair color?

Erika destroyed that team but it is tough for a program with 3 different Coaches in 8 years. Boston is a tough city.

As for NAZ, Ben is loved. Hanson's are a great group that all seem to get along.

Thoughts. I have first hand experience on number 9.) Great coach probably one of the best. Very greedy human being. His entire idea of life success is based on running. He made a comment about a former runner of his and about how proud he is. Yet what is success when you have nobody to share it with and you have yet to establish yourself in a real career? Number 9.) Does not look beyond the track and is also incredibly immature in the sense that he still looks at former athletes as failures because they moved on or partied in college. The real successful former runners of his I'd say are the ones that have a successful marriage, children that look up to them, and have built a successful foundation in life off the track. 9.) Has a successful program but once each of those athletes run out of time as an athlete he will be done being an influence in there lives because that is how #9 operates part of the reason why he can't hold down any business or relationship off the track.

In professional running the athlete's relationship with their coach is business not personal. How many NFL players really like their coach? It's irrelevant.

As the list is limited to US-based distance coaches with proper teams, does Scott Raczko qualify?

How did she destroy the team? Just wondering what specifically that she did and also - how is that the coach's fault?

Well like Jerry, one of his athletes got popped. At least Patrick didn't keep defending the cheater.

I have no idea, but I just looked up her BAA bio and under fun facts she wrote:

"I was once kicked off my high school track team for skipping meets/practices"

hmm...

Maybe it's an unfair comparison since she's new to the pro coach game, but the hands-down answer is Diljeet Taylor.

Can we please not post stupid questions like this? This is merely opinions and no way of telling the right answer or not.

💯 It’s pretty much a beauty/popularity contest decided by people who couldn’t possibly know the relevant facts.

Most loved? Gotta be Ron Warhurst, right?

Already covered above, my b

Nah he didn't email me back when I wanted to run for him smh

I agree that we can't really know the facts, but it is interesting to see the public perception of different coaches, group cultures, etc. That perception affects, in part, how people are attracted as fans to cheer for specific runners and training groups... which is why most of us are on LRC in the first place.

How about Jon Green? Molly Seidel, Grayson Murphy, and Emily Infeld all seem to love him. There's also Ben Thomas and Mike Smith, though I'm not sure if those should count
