Phelan is gone too. My understanding is that it was Cap’s decision to leave. My understanding is that Llewelyn Starks will now be the man in charge.

I’ve heard that Rich Kenah and a prominent Non Nike Coach that has been working with Post Collegiates for a couple decades are in line to change the current climate at Nike. Not sure if either will be willing to give up their current gigs?
Jon Marcus?

The guy who crippled Whetstine. Amongst other Nike-funded sins.
Not many places loyalty to the brand is worth more than being a decent, law-abiding human being. Good for Starks (and Cap, and Phelan, and Steve Miller, etc etc) he ended up at one of those places.

I think Starks will swing and connect well with the athletes, coaches, agents, meet directors & federations that Nike works with.
Wondering who gets to deal with some of the shadier federations (ie, Kenya, Russia, etc) that they have contracts with?
This is a perfect role for Alberto Salazar. He gets to use his knowledge of the sport and no longer with athletes, just like Seb Coe. Also, am hearing he might be cleared. If so, and if this job still exists, it will be Salazar, as he is already an executive within Nike.

LOL dude can barely keep his own website together. Imagine him being the director of a department at a global industry leader.
Are we going to return to the results from the 1990's with USA distance runners in 5-10 years?
