Your entire personality is fake.
Is this something narcissists do?
Lookin squarely at alec baldwins fake mexican wife.
im not gonna take your word for it, but I was wondering about his accent when i saw that interview. it's the first time I've seen him.
Seemed to be trying really hard to pull off a "cool" vibe. But I don't judge off seeing somebody once. I could be way off base here.
Yeah you’re right. I wish he would speak in his real Jamaican accent mon. And wear his dreadlocks too. He’s such a faker.

vid in this thread isn't that bad. seemed on another level for his ESPN interview, immediately after the race.
Anyway, he's a really good coach. so good job to him and the boys
He kind of sounds like A French mixed with "da hood".
it's probably a little bit contrived but i can't help but like the guy from what i've seen in various workout videos and interviews. he seems chill but confident. authoritative, if you will. maybe i'm falling for the act but in the coaching realm isn't that what it's all about? clearly the athletes buy in to what he's selling. i wish he had been my college coach honestly.
We've been through this before. Here is what you missed all of those times you supposedly quit Letsrun.

Yep, maybe...
But who really cares?
He could talk with a Daffy Duck voice, but his prowess as an incredible recruiter and phenomenally successful coach would remain at their same rarefied levels.
At the end of the day that is all that matters here. No one is perfect without any character defects.
If this is the worse thing going on with him, then he is doing pretty good IMAO
A lot of people try to balance coming across cool and relatable to younger people and also communicate in a manner that multi-millionaires find acceptable.
Look at Joe Namath. By his second year at Alabama until a few years ago, Namath adopted a manner of speech far different than his eastern or central PA roots.
maybe he had a small stroke?
No devout follower of Jordan Peterson should ever make fun of any man's voice.
It's not as bad as when Hillary Cliton faked a Southern accent
Other people I suspect of having fake accents include Barstool Sports crew members Marty Mush and Rico Bosco
So much fake the world today

I don't know why I stated that backwards. Of course I meant central or western PA. I've been to both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. I should have known better.

And yet he will continue to post mindless drivel.
I don't watch enough interviews of him because... I have a life.
Arguably, Smith is the best NCAA distance coach at this moment. He is very well respected and liked in track circles. He directs the NAU program and the training of several elite athletes. Just married Rachel Schneider, someone that he coached to an Olympic team berth. Pretty much outclasses Jamin for achieving success in both career and love. Tonight, he celebrates another NCAA team title while Jamin drinks alone and trolls the boards as he does every Saturday night. But, that affectation in his voice threatens to negate all of that, I guess?
How's the comeback going? What's different? Strava shows that you are still doing the same rather pointless workouts as always.

…and yet here you are, taking time out of your busy schedule tk make a post on a meaningless subject in an obscure forum in a niche sport.
