....At least Metcalf and Smith are each known to use meat grinder training, both treat their athletes like schitt, and both like themselves more than their athletes.
I'd say those apples are similar

Obviously not a favorite Rob Conner quote.
The guy is nothing but an ass to his athletes. No one on the team wants to run well for him.
Yeah, including the multiple American individual and team NCAA champions. You sound a little sour-grapes though.

Ben Butler possibly. Hasn't done anything collegiately. Pretty sure he was a two time NXN guy in high school. Not sure about the other two initials.
Dave’s success was in getting a bunch of talented guys to believe they were the best team in the country. He knows how to coach and that getting a talented group of athletes to run fast isn’t rocket science. He has always been a bit of a sociopath but if the core group of athletes on the team could band together to ride out his highs and lows special things happened. That type of chemistry is tough to create year in and year out. What you see now is the result of less team chemistry and more extreme swings in Dave’s emotions and coaching. He has become increasingly reactionary and fostered poor team chemistry. I hope things turn around but I can’t see how it will be a quick process. I feel for the current athletes on the team and hope the ones who stay are able to take pride in building the team back to the strength and cohesiveness it used to have. Good luck cowboys.
Other than their hammer thrower, I haven't seen Oklahoma State produce an All-American in anything other than distance events.
Dave would be a great fit at Washington, since he grew up in Olympia; however, I wouldn't want him as the overall director/head coach of the Huskies, but only as the distance coach.

Ummmm...ever heard of John Teeters?
The pile of crap you posted can be said just about any successful coach out there. ...,
Coach having mood swings???
A good coach knows athletes react to different stimulus and is its duty to try them. Beside you try to go out there and keep an entire team happy and stable , i bet you are amazing at it and will never change your mood.
The entitlement of a psychological broken generation that as a whole will never get satisfied and apreciative no matter what. That is what coaches have to work with and it doesn't get any better
Sir how old are you? Looks like you have a "back in my time" type thing going on. You most likely have 0% clue on whats going on in this program and just want to complain about something besides the fact that something needs to change in the coaching going on there. If there is more than a couple kids leaving the school, obviously there is an issue. Please read in between the lines before you get on here with your "I use to run 15 miles a day, uphill, both ways, in the snow" type of old attitude.
He is a great coach. Still no list of names so it is only rumor.
How much would you like to bet?
A list of 3 athlete initials were listed. Are you too dense to figure it out?
I can figure out who the rumors pertain to but they are only rumors.
