Chris Solinksy, Robert Gary, Shalane Flanagan, Ed Eyestone, Bernard Lagat, Alan Webb are certainly well-accomplished runners who coach collegiately.
Solinsky is coaching , Lagat is also. I longer coaching and Webb doesn’t coach in the NCAA
you mean Solinksy and Lagat are both NOT coaching in the NCAA and either is Alan Webb.

I think he means neither Solinsky nor Lagat nor Webb coach NCAA.
Andrew Carlson (current Bradley University head coach, formerly at Louisville and North Dakota State), placed 6th at the 2012 Olympic marathon trials in 2:11:24. He was also a 3x All-American while running for Minnesota back in his college days.
Floreal at Texas won multiple NCAA jump titles while at Arkansas.
Ed eyestone is definitely the best at doing both. He somehow has used the mormon environment to his advantage on both fronts. Nobody has said Chris Fox yet but he was good at everything back in his day and rebuilt Syracuse.

So we have established Lagat is and is not coaching and Alan Webb is and is not coaching? Geez. Lets just give it to Carl.
Carl Lewis wasn't half bad!
For men’s it would be Carl Lewis likely with Leroy Burrell was world record holder. On the distance side not sure anyone was better than Paul Ereng (Texas A&M), Olympic Gold.
What is Pattisue Plumer up to these days? She has bounced around a few colleges.

Webb is coaching NAIA.
Carmelita Jeter is the head coach at UNLV
Soon to be retired Ray Tracey was a competitive runner at PC and afterwards (not to be confused with brother John).
All the names I’ve seen so far have been top-end runners but so-so coaches. I think Ray has this the other way given his success coaching at PC.
Rod Dehaven head coach at South Dakota State won the 2000 Olympic trials in the marathon and was the only one to represent U.S. in the marathon in Sydney.
My glorious king Khadevis Robinson was pretty decent back in the day. #Khadevism

Ed Eyestone made two Olympic teams.
Definitely the answer for "Who was both a very successful runner and a very successful coach?"
eyestone was pretty good, not a worldbeater but still really good.
Bill Dellinger wasn’t too shabby in his time.
