I'm at the Asics booth at The Running Event (industry trade show for independent running stores) and Ryan Hall is on a panel with Andy Potts (ironmant triathlete) and Simon Bartold (biomechanical expert).
Ryan was asked about coaching and said he's had a bunch of coaches and he's run well under faith based coaching but then added, "there are going to be some developments coming out on Friday on my blog."
I also employ faith-based coaching. I just run whenever I feel ilke it and then have faith that it'll make me faster. Faith-based recovery from injury is also working great for me. All this resting, icing and elevating is just heretic scientists talking. Straight from the pits of hell.

Probably just a new lower left hand corner banner ad.
It's no secret that Hall has been getting advice from jtupper.
I hear Jon Gruden is in the running.
I saw him hang out with Dean Karnazes a few times this last month. I bet he's going up in distance to become an ultramarathoner!
I heard Rex Ryan from a very reliable source. Rex will definitely hype him up, maybe guarantee a few big wins as well.
Wasn't Hall in Kenya recently?
Ask who coaches his wife and you may find the answer...
Actually, at this point, who really cares? Why wait until Friday? If Hall needs attention brought to him by making an announcement, I feel he is done. Some of the stuff on this site that passes for news is irrelevant to good running.
Who says Hall fired God? The statement just says there are "developments" coming out on Friday. God is simply demoting Hall, putting a couple of management layers in-between. He's had his shot as a highly visible direct report to the Big Fluffy but he didn't deliver the goods so now he's sliding down the hierarchy. God will still call the shots but Hall will have to hear about it through the chain of command. He may end up in the same workgroup as Tebow and all the other nutjob athletes.
he's going back to Mahon and moving to Loughborough, UK.
my bet is its Ahura Mazda
Humm previous coach.. faith based coach... gotta be Irv Ray then.
Hall makes all of these momentous announcements through his blog now. They don't always turn out to be momentous.

Hall needs to let his dad coach him. No one could do a better job than his dad. His dad created Ryan Hall the runner and knows him better than anyone.
Can we make this a prediction contest? I'm guessing he'll go with Rojo's $250/month coaching plan. Great bang for your buck.
I predict Owen Anderson.
No offense intended to anyone but that was a good one. LOL
