I heard a rumor that David Marsh is leaving Auburn to coach at Mecklenburg Aquatics. Is it true?

Hmm? I don't know who this guy has coached as I don't really follow the lives of swimming coaches but it seems to me that if he were a really outstanding swim coach (I am not saying he is not!) that swimmers would be flocking to him for help. No? Look at Bob Bowman for instance. He has a whole slough of Olympic level athletes (Phelps, Vendt, Venderkaay's, Sandeno, Tarwater, etc) and I think he plans on making Olympic cut times a requirement to swim for him next year...thereby reducing group size and making it a more intense coaching experience.
These are just observations from a swimming newbie, I could very well be wrong. Feel free to put me in my place! :)
