Ryan Lochte Pushes Back at 'Unrecognizable' Jabs After Missouri State Coaching Reveal

The role pays about $34 an hour pending a June board vote.

Overview

  • Lochte, a 12-time Olympic medalist, announced in an Instagram video that he will serve as an assistant swimming and diving coach at Missouri State University.
  • After comments claimed he looked unrecognizable, he responded in a new video shared by girlfriend Molly Gillihan and called the critics clowns.
  • He and Gillihan said eyebrow dye darkened his hair, and his beard and tan also contributed to the changed look seen in his announcement clip.
  • Front Office Sports reported contract terms of about $34 per hour, roughly $30,000 over the term, with eligibility for performance bonuses.
  • The job begins only if Missouri State’s Board of Governors approves the contract in June, with a start later in the summer reported by the New York Post.
