Something I mentioned to NumberTwo privately: for right or for wrong Charlie Francis is pretty polarizing in the track and field world for what should be obvious reasons.
In their own ignorance, many still think of him as nothing more than a d**g coach even if we know the truth.
And that means that the unfortunate reality is that association with Charlie’s name has as much potential to backfire as anything else. that might be one reason not to put it on a resume.
Imagine presenting yourself to a school as a Charlie Francis certified coach for example: if you get a dingleberry head of the department, you’re likely to get dismissed out of hand because they’ll figure you’re just a d**g pusher.
And no, I’m not saying that the above is ‘right’ by any stretch. But I think it is the reality in which we live.
