All of the above is incorrect. The Skechers contract gives him freedom to choose his own coach and training group. He is already back in New Jersey and working with Marcus O'Sullivan across the river at Villanova.
If this were true he'd have to move to the city like Ajee Wilson did to train with Juventus Coach, Derek Thompson. Of course in Ajee's case she needed to be a bus ride from Temple since she was taking classes there. Neptune to Philly everyday would not work.
Ches wouldn't commute from his area of NJ to Nova every day. That too would be insane. Maybe a few days a week, possibly but that drive would get old quickly.

Interesting thread. Might as well let you all in on what's really going on. By the way, the shoes don't matter if you're talented. and talent doesn't go away.
Recently ran into Gerry Lindgren, drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's. In fact, Gerry is coaching him, remotely, from an undisclosed location, but that's no problem -- he's in touch w Ches almost every day. Right now Ches is doing some overdistance base work. it so happens that his coach recommended Ches do this by means of running across the USA, dressed as a woman. Unorthodox, but it seems to be working -- he has reported some incredible weekly mileage, beyond what's actually being logged.
After this phase, Ches is going to relocate to London for his winter and early spring, where he plans to prepare for the London Marathon while living and training incognito somewhere around the Hampstead Heath. So as not to attract attention to himself, he's going to jump into the London Marathon as a bandit, and go for a legit sub-2 hour marathon, by non-Monza-ing it. That's the only way to stick it to Nike, for making him run in Skechers.
After incognito sub-2 hour marathon assault, he is going to transition to his summer track phase, by relocating to a cabin in the woods somewhere in Florida, where he will be doing mega-mileage and speed work, training barefoot on a grass track. I have seen some of the workout plans, and it includes things like 60 x 400. As part of the low-profile approach, he will also begin to grow out his hair, with the plan to step on to the track sometime next summer, facing the world's best, but under the name of and dressed like, a guy from Finland.
So, that's what he's up to so far, and what he has planned for the next several months. Expect great things!
ps. Lindgren's hair was perfect.
Two pages too late with this dud

Just read that alongside Ches, Haas has also taken over coaching Stephen Scullion, previously coached by Alan Storey who is a very respectable coach and worked with Farah for a long time, and he’s just run 2.15 at London which was a 2-3 min PB in pretty hot conditions.
Was surprised to see he coached Scullion now, anyone else he’s working with? There’s quite a few guys in flag at the min and saw Pat Casey was there in UA gear so has he now joined that group full time?
Haas seems like a decent guy and is doing very well on the coaching side based on recent athlete performances.
Haas coaches someone or continues to pretend he is an agent even though he is not? Steepler from Oklahoma also “in the group”.

This is 100% on the money. Powell writes the workouts but can't coach due to his Oregon collegiate coaching duties. Haas acts like a coach but the dude can't find his zipper. He just watches over Ches.
