How much contact does Jordan actually have with Salazar? From all appearances she's basically in CA full-time now and has been for a couple of years now (ever since her mother died?) She's said elsewhere that running professionally for Nike was her lifelong goal but she's not on-campus full-time or rarely at all?
So did she witness or overhear something that made her uncomfortable and she's distancing herself without breaking ties with Nike? In another interview she said that she and Salazaar sat down after her poor pro track career and had the talk about parting ways with NOP if her times didn't turn around. Was she refusing to buy-in to some of Salazaar's shenanigans?
Another poster said she was homesick but she went to Oregon for college and then signed on to presumably remain in Oregon as a pro so how homesick could she really be? (Unless it was triggered by the unexpected loss of her mother).
In her interview with RunnersWorld it made it sound like for the most part she designs and conducts her own workouts, so how hands-on was Salazaar really? I thought the consensus was that he was a micromanaging control freak?
And where is Mary Cain in all of this? Surely she has a few thoughts on the ban...
