Ask the athletes what they think of their training. Do they feel like it's working for them? Are they making acceptable progress?

If the other coach's training is at par, at some point it's going to rear its ugly head in a stall in progress, imbalances that will affect performance, or even injuries. Maybe some of the athletes already have some of these issues.

Any rate...

It's a coaching/training TEAM. That means everyone works together, everyone adds their input, everyone discusses it. If it's a situation where you feel you can't contribute, or you feel it will be ignored because you're the new guy, you need to move on. New ideas and methods are what it's all about and any coach or business owner should at least be open to them. However, you need to make that attempt to bring new ideas in first because they might actually really like what you have to say, or at least they'll appreciate the fact that you're confident enough in your own skills to bring ideas to them, even if they don't implement them.
