Jason Brown

I was just jumping off from Mrs. P’s surmise.

We don’t know:biggrin: it’s like “Where’s Waldo?” “Where’s Jason”.?:laugh:

I do remember Kori once saying that Scott had asked her if she’d ever relocate to Nashville and she more or less said, are you located at altitude? I’m at 7000 feet. More or less suggesting that her answer at that time was no. That doesn’t mean she couldn’t have changed her mind, and starting to build a new elite training center at the beginning of the quad makes sense.

That brings us back to Jason though. Presumably a new elite training center with guidance from Brian Orser would be great and would recruit a premier jump coach. So why would he split from Kori now if that’s where she’s going? Unless her role would be different there and she wouldn’t have enough time to devote to him? Or he felt like at 23 he couldn’t go through the same kind of administrative growing pains that were okay for him at 19 (because I think Kori was trying to make 7k an elite training center).

I do feel like this season probably contributed to his decision. I think Kori's been juggling the adminstrative/mangerial/consulting role with her coaching role and it became too much and it came to a head this season.

I think Jason and Kori have a strong enough relationship where they can probably have a frank talk that he needed to move on. Or that she can own up that she needed to let go.

As I said not all coaching changes have to be as drastic as people think. Or rather I'm hoping this one isn't...

ETA: Of course we haven't heard any official LOL. This is all speculative talk by me, LOL.

Please guys -- tell us something! Just throw us even a little crumb! :frown:
 
I've stayed away from the whole "what's going on with Jason" because I'd rather wait for facts than speculate ... but ... maybe we can start a new rumor ... :biggrin:

What is Grant doing at 7K?

Wow, too cute! (And you are so good, staying away from speculation: clueless guessing is what I do best:laugh:)

So to move even further afield, maybe Grant and Caroline are taking pairs lessons from Doug Ladret:;) (this clip, and Grant's comments, are also too cute):

I just joined this site! Largely because I tried doing an internet search on if the J and K rumors were true.

I can tell you he was in Fairfax VA (right outside D.C.) right before 4CC ... rumor was he was working with Audrey, who is also a supporter of Kori. Audrey owns/runs ICoach, and has had Kori do many different coaching video clips for her site. Audrey has always favored working well with male skaters.

Take it all FWIW.
 
Hi Sk8Coach, welcome to Golden Skate, post often post long!

Yes, it was clear he was working with Audrey, but it seem just as a supplemental thing while Kori was in Europeans with her other student Laurine.
 
That's true...I didn't think if that. However, why not stay at home? Why VA??

One theory was to get out of the hoopla of the Olympic craziness. Jason, as far as I know, still lives at the Olympic Training Center, so he would be reminded virtually everyday that he wasn't going to the Olympics. Being in Virginia gave him some space.

I really like this theory, if only because at times I had a hard time watching the Olys, so I can’t imagine how I would feel if I were Jason.

But of course I’m not;)
 
Hopefully all is well. I've also heard Kori might be headed to TN to the new Scott H. Rink. There seem to be a lot of ties here between Audrey and Kori, as well as Kori and Scott.
It would be neat to have a newer/bigger coaches on the east side of the US. Skating in TN has grown A LOT in the last few years!!

All rumored though, right??!! 😜

It's all rubbish until official !

OK, still no actual confirmation, but reading Jason’s latest IG post.... (on iPad, can’t link)

I think he’s really leaving :eeking:
Do any of our Colorado friends recognize that as a road out of Monument?

Here's the link to Jason's instagram post:

From Jason's comment, it also sounds to me like he's moving. I have to admit that when I saw Grant's post yesterday I wondered if he had come to Colorado to help Jason move.
 
And it would make sense that Grant would be the one to help move if Jason's heading to LA. And if that's the case, that's cool he is closer to one of his BFF and can help him with wedding preparations. :laugh:

Well, the mountains in the look like they could be CO mountains, but the other one looks more like the southwest, or southwest CO, or NM, or AZ, or CA... :) Guess we'll find out soon enough. :) Definitely makes me sad. I wish he would just come out and say what's going on.

It also makes Grant pointing out Jason's banner in Monument a little weird now.

Oh, well, good luck, Jason. Looking forward to seeing what's next!

ETA: I'm pretty sure the second pic is Palm Springs, if that means anything.
 
Breaking my forum fast to scream at the top of my lungs YAY JASON FOR WORLDS :yahoo:
