This whole thing is a slippery slope. The NCAA admitted they found no emails, no texts, no DMs, no student athlete contact, no proof of recruiting contact at all. One of the dads is a well-known pastor in LA and had known the coach for years. At some point you can’t punish a coach just for having friends. If there had actually been tampering, someone would have produced the receipts by now. The reality is the NCAA has nothing to stand on, which is why this case looks so absurd.

I've never seen a coach ruin his career as much as Brosnan. All he had to do was not cheat. And once he got caught cheating, all he had to do is apologize and he'd have been back to coaching by now.

Instead he turned this into a massive case covered by ESPN and other outlets. His ego thought he would prove he was mistreated, but really he just broadcast his CLEAR mistakes to the entire world.

Now everyone knows of his violations and even worse, everyone knows of his meltdown trying to defend himself from the indefensible. He pissed off the most powerful man in USA track and field (Lananna). Brosnan nuked his career.

First off, acting like Vin Lananna is some untouchable kingmaker is hilarious. He’s been one of the most disliked corrupt figures in U.S. track for years, and the USA Track & Field presidency he crawled back to is a volunteer role with basically zero power over anyone’s coaching career.
Second, if Brosnan’s career was “nuked,” he must be doing a pretty bad job of disappearing. He left UCLA, wrote a book, and is still talked about more than most NCAA and pro coaches combined. That’s usually what happens when someone is relevant, not when their career is over.
And for the hundredth time: Brosnan is coaching in Flagstaff, Arizona right now.
Sorry to the handful of LetsRun basement dwellers, but you don’t get a weekly written report explaining what he’s doing with athletes. The fact people are still obsessing over it kind of proves the point.

Agreed and it’s crazy, everyone actually involved in the sport knows what’s going on except the message board experts. I saw Brosnan here in North Carolina with his runners a few weeks ago.
The same handful of people posting with their VPNs should probably come back down to reality and get a life. From a running fan’s perspective, the constant anonymous hate is just getting old.

Brosnan is actually one of the most liked coaches in the sport. Have you ever even been to a track meet in the U.S.? I’m not saying he’s the Beatles, but kids and coaches are constantly asking him for photos and talking to him. Meanwhile Vin has spent 40+ years in the sport making enemies everywhere he goes. He’s aggressive and arrogant. The same two trolls on here obsessively post about Brosnan because they can’t stand that he’s still out there coaching doing his thing. It’s honestly funny and a little sad for them at the same time.

This post is hilarious. Vin is Hall of Famer with a 46-year college career who still coaches at the highest levels today. Brosnan coached HS for like 3 years and spent big bucks hiring Chris Lear to write his book-thats about the only smart thing he has done lately. He has never coached anyone again. If he coaches anyone of note right now, name them! Get outta here! Always remember, you are not a hater when you only speak the facts!
