That's what most pundits would call a good interviewee. It's bad for you (the reader) and me (the journalist) but a sign that she's actually what a PR person calls a good interviewer as she controls the message.
Why isn't Coogan in the mix? Because he lives in Boston. She lives in Colorado. End of discussion.
Maybe from a running standpoint in your mind but not from a financial standpoint. If she's paying someone 10-15% of her contract to coach he, tha'ts not insignificant. Remember, she's someone who doesn't have an agent.
So if her NB deal is automatically locked in with no reductions for say the next 4 years and she doens't plan on running after that, then there really is no downside. Sure, she might not be as good of a runner but financially it would barely touch her as she probably makes 95% of her salary from her NB deal. Appearance fees, etc are basically not worth talking about.
