Some Cc times for class of 2024 guys who didn’t do track: Kurtz - 18:02 3-mile Keene - 18:56 3-mile Badwal- 20:24 3-mile in 2020 but 20:59 3-mile in 2021
Brosnan would have left already if he could get a decent college gig. Crappy college coaches earn $100k per year yet he is stuck earning $10k as a HS coach.
i'm sure this is part of the reason some coaches resent brosnan.
he's had an ungodly amount of talent landing on his doorstep.
i've only coached one boy who broke 5 before high school, and yet i've been to nxn with individuals and teams as well as going to FL a handful of times, sometimes with multiple kids.
regardless, i still think he leaves when the Young twins graduate.
Combine that with the fact he'll never get the depth of raw talent that landed on his doorstep with the Young and Sahlman brothers and realistically there's nowhere to go but down after the class of '23 graduates.
Currently there are 6 sophomores and 1 freshman boy on the track distance squad. That's pretty telling that seeds are not being planted for the future.
So does Brosnan end up coaching in college, a pro team/club, or will he do something else outside of running?
Who wants to take that $1 bet against me?
To be sure, he's done a phenomenal job and this is not a knock against him. It's rare that we fully take advantage of opportunity that comes our way in life, but he certainly has done just that.
My thoughts Brosnan is still very young early 40's. He is arguably one of the best if not the best high school coach there has ever been. I think Brosnan may leave Newbury Park. He is married and I believe has a family to help support. I think a number of NCAA Division 1 XC and Track and Field Programs would love to have him. Considering a Head XC Coach at a weak NCAA Division 1 program probably brings in $50,000 a year, Brosnan is the one of the best I would be willing to be bet he would start at $90,000 minimum as a first year and once his formula kicks in and his team starts dominating he would rack in $250,000+ later on in his career he the type of coach that makes 7 figures. If he did take a college position next year if I was one of his high school runners no doubt I would go where he goes.
So many dislikes on the comments that guessed right!
