You're confused. Doyle is Wiley's agent. He works for Wiley, Wiley doesn't work for him. He has no authority to choose Wiley's coach for her.
And Doyle is certainly not "advocating" for the Johnsons.
I understand Doyles relationship with Wiley. But his agency should not affiliate with Lauren Johnson in any capacity. They should represent her only if she get's another coach.
That's not how it works.
An agent affiliates with an athlete, NOT with the athlete's coach, the athlete's teammates, the athlete's trainer, the athlete's chiropractor, or the athlete's doctor.
Your claim that the agent is affiliated with Lauren Johnson is incorrect.

Yes, but you gotta think at the very least Doyles isn't super pumped about the decision.
An agent's goal is to get their athlete paid, and as a result they get paid. The more Addy get's paid, the more Doyle get's paid.
I don't think it's crazy to say that having Lauren Johnson as your coach takes some potential money off the table, but what do I know. I guess for Doyle the potential upside is pretty massive, and if things go bad he can drop her immediately.
I’m well aware, obviously the sarcasm didn’t shine through. During USA’s she was asked by Jonathan Gault who her coach was and she tiptoed around it and lied. It was obvious that Lauren has been her coach the whole time.
What's funny is that the upvote/downvote feature hasn't been hijacked so far on page 11. The sentiments seem to reflect what the majority of people actually feel about the situation. I'm guessing Nick or Wiley's dad hasn't woken up yet or perhaps their IP hider is having technical difficulties. Only a matter of time before the person behind that logs back in and attempts to manipulate the reactions to the messed up fact that she refuses to move out from under the influence of the Johnsons.
Had Addy's dad "woken up" 4 years ago, NONE of this would have ever happened.

The government of South Africa has accused Joe Biden of genocide. The US government has accused Donald Trump of instigating a rebellion and mishandling secret documents. Yet somehow these two continue to have successful political and business relationships.
Neither Addy Wiley or Lauren Johnson has been charged with a crime. It's naive to believe that Doyle will not represent Wiley.
You can have an opinion about Wiley and her coach just as I do about convicted doper Houlihan, and BTC coaches and teammates. I just don't continually voice that opinion when I see that my wishes are just not going to happen.

Haha yep, noticed this too. All of a sudden the votes completely flipped because the Huntington trolls hadn't caught up yet.
Like I said, some of you claim to know more about the inner workings than the reporters or the athletes. Maybe you know more about what Mike Smith's athletes do in training than he does.
