His wife will almost certainly take over the program, as she is currently his assistant. There is no shot Brosnan is leaving the most talented team in HS history to the hands of a rando. He'll probably still be writing workouts too.
Is she a teacher at the school?
Doesn't CA have a guideline (or maybe rule) that is a teacher wants the job the teacher gets preferential treatment?

I don't think she's a teacher. IIRC, her full time job is in water management. My sense is that Steve Hawkins, Brosnan's other assistant, will be interim coach unless he too doesn't teach at NP. Stay tuned...

That's for sure. He and his wife will struggle to get by.

There, he helped coach athletes who won NCAA individual titles in the indoor 5k, outdoor 1500m and outdoor 10k and set an individual American DII national record in the 10k."
...and then married one of them.

What's the running like at UCLA? When I visited campus for a bit I couldn't find any soft surfaces and flat routes without having to drive out for >15 mins. Seems like a tough place to run 70-100 mpw.
I ran plenty of 100-140+ mile weeks when I was attending UCLA (graduated in ‘91). I ran on my own and didn’t own a car. I had lots of interesting (to me at least) places to run, mostly not where the team ran. I loved hills, though there is flat to be found. I did run crazy distances in singles then because I loved to explore (much like/ an extension of training style riding PCH and all the canyon roads 2-3+ hrs a day when I was a freshman), so I got around a lot more than any college team runner would reasonably do.
Typical runs for me back then would be a campus perimeter loop, then down San Vicente to the ocean and back and then maybe another perimeter loop for 16 or 20 miles. Or 16-24 mile loops up to Mulholland as far west as Will Rogers and as far east as Franklin or Coldwater canyons and all the roads and trails in between. Hill repeats on Bel Air neighborhood roads, flatter grass loops on the intramural field.

Do you realize that his wife has a real career, I doubt she is gonna be taking this on now that Sean will be travelling great distances for college XC.

Whose coaching Newbury Park then?
Probably Ethan Duffy the NP 2017 grad.
He held the team accountable in 2016. Brosnan gave him a lot of credit for all of the success they had

One more decent year for the NBP team and I suspect the wheels will fall off and they'll go back to pre-Sean Brosnan years type of performance. End of an era.
My understanding is that NP has talented kids running in the middle schools. Has Brosnan been the person recruiting these middle school runners?

Is he still gonna coach Newbury Park or is he gonna coach a different HS?

However, you can’t be a great distance runner at UCLA. Good, yes, not NCAA Champ great. Training grounds are not ideal.
