I've tried to find information on who is in charge of his training. I know he's talked to Julian as mentioned in one of his interviews. He also indicated that he's talked to Al Sal in a non-running format.
With the trials only a couple months away, I wonder who he will go with?
An older guy, ex runner, wearing sunglasses ? and sporting a ?
No way he doesn't get coached by Salazar still. When have the rules stopped them before?
I think the bigger concern is will he ever run at the top tier elite level again ?
After watching that interview in Chicago I knew he would not finish the race.
I do not see a confident elite athlete capable of competing on the world stage.

After watching Chicago the US olympic trials just got a little more interesting.
No one answered my question.

Uh yes they did. He will be coached by Salazar.
I will coach Rupp. He could also be crowd-coached by every poster here. Worst case he could enter the tutelage of Inferior Coach JS, who has given stock advice to a number of near-elites of Rupp's caliber.
First bit of advice I have: give up the marathon, you're never gonna win at anything but B-level US races and olympics. You were doing great on the track, and there's probably still no American who can beat you at 10,000.
Galen is Catholic. Perhaps he will try faith-based coaching?

Ryan Hall approach?
He's not getting coached by Salazar anymore. Salazar is just holding the stopwatch.
Seriously, what’s to prevent Salazar from texting/emailing/Skyping/telephoning Rupp for hours every week to give him workouts, talk about how they went, etc? And knowing Nike’s opposition to the ban, it wouldn’t be a surprise if they gave Saladbar an office with a bird’s eye view of the corporate track and Al just happened to show up to work at the same time Rupp was working out.

There are dozens of ways to get around that ban and be coached by Al Sal. Knowing how Al Sal is willing to bend the rules (to a point of breaking them)should not surprise anyone they are at it already. Whoever becomes Galen's "coach" will be just a stooge.
Shouldn't he be old enough to coach himself by now?

I definitely agree, but Galen seems to be an insecure kind of guy. His relation with Alberto is almost sickening.
Sort of an Allie-Brad type of relationship??

Why not rekrunner? Then we can see what a clean Rupp can run. Rekrunner wouldn't lie or cheat, right? He said so repeatedly.

I am sure Salazar's Phones will be tapped, So they will be able to know who he calls and what is said, so will his computer if they allow him to have a computer, I am sure They will make Salazar wear an ankle Bracelet so they will be able to know where he is at ALL times, they probably have several Detectives following his every move, so if they see him and Rupp Together they can call The Police who will then call the swat teams, They will make sure they can not converse, otherwise what would happen if Rupp says his legs are sore and Salazar says maybe you should just run easy for a couple of days? WHICH WOULD BE COACHING, then what would happen?

He probably knows more about Training and Coaching then half the people reading this.

Absolutely nothing.
