Brosnan was a guest on the podcast on Tuesday. He told us he that he personally recorded the audio version of the book. This week only, if you join our Supporters Club, we'll send you a copy of the book and a free t-shirt as Rojo's college roommate Chris Lear is a co-author.
I don’t hate him at all and haven’t met him. I generally like people and if we went out for beers, I would probably like him too. My reaction to him is from the crazy level of praise he gets from LR posters. You describe all these wonderful attributes to Brosnan with almost no details. He built a modern program that thrives in today’s competitive world? If all of what you say is true, he is a Superman of a coach that knows no equal in any sport. I do give you credit for using one the most irritating cliches in existence, “outside the box”.
I do believe the brothers would have had the same results at other high schools. Nico is heading towards becoming the greatest 5/10 runner in U.S. history. Was Brosnan the only HS coach ever that could have guided him to his NXN win?
Brownian could have let the program speak for itself, but he’s stepped up, at least partially, to make the success of NP about him. Do you think taking that approach has helped, or hindered him in pursuing a coaching gig. Many people admire humility in a person.
I don’t think Brosnan would waste his time ever having a beer with someone like yourself. You’re either a compete as$hole or misunderstanding Brosnan’s approach. He’s not making the program ‘about him” he’s sharing insights, celebrating the athletes, and showing what fearless, outside-the-box coaching can accomplish bigger then we all think. Humility is important, but so is giving credit where it’s earned and inspiring others. His visibility hasn’t hindered him, but it highlights the results and impact that speak far louder than any message board opinion or your hatful words. Brosnan is not about following the crowd and that helped make him one of the best. He does what other coaches are too scared to do and gets results we’ve never had and honestly you’ll never have.
OK, you really admire the guy. No other opinion can be tolerated?

Brosnan wins on coaching too. He’s already proven himself as one of the best we’ve seen, and his approach guarantees we’ll keep seeing that for years to come. His results and his ability to inspire athletes put him in rare company. Truly rare.

I just don’t understand this type of post. Why can’t Brosnan get a coaching job? Or does he have one? All I heard was that his contract was not renewed at UCLA and then there was some discussion of recruiting violations. The man can coach I am sure but these posts are over the top.

He’s coaching now. I know one of his pros. He mentioned a bit about it on the LetsRun podcast and said it will be officially announced and in place by January.
You know it’s a big deal because everyone is dying to know who’s joining and all the details, but for now, we’ll just have to wait.
It is really meaningless to have any honest discussions about Brosnan. Every negative post is deleted. Hardly any of these violate the message board guidelines.
On top of that, it’s obvious that the majority of Brosnan glazing is just Sean chocking on his own c@ck
I’ve got a 22 hour drive to do this coming Friday, and am going to purchase Brosnan’s new book on audio (releases tomorrow). Obviously a very controversial and polarizing figure here amongst the shining stars that are Letsrun, but undeniably nurtured along some outstanding athletes from two different families. Newbury was a juggernaut here in CA for a few years, and I’m looking forward to perhaps getting a little inside baseball.
Anyone else curious as well?
I’m about 4 chapters in and the book is good—in fact, very good. I could see it becoming an all time running classic. Brosnan is an interesting character and he offers a unique take on coaching. The book is full of interesting details on the development of Newbury Park. The audiobook includes some great excerpts from Nico Young (read by Nico Young) and others from the team. More once I’m done the whole book.

I can’t think of any reason why info about his club needs to be kept secret.
