I was hoping she would take over for miss Val at UCLA, but I am so happy for her, this was well deserved by her I can’t wait to start following Arkansas next season
They pushed her. She is very young and there are uncertainties regarding that. You don’t gain experience just by being a little mature for your age. Jordyn has mentioned that she feels like she is about 3 years older than her age maturity wise but that is not significant in the grant scheme of things. However, she is able to seek out mentorship and she has different people she speaks to regularly about the position. I’m going to get on my soapbox right now, which I shouldn’t but I will anyway. Jordyn was born at the tail end of the millennial generation (1995) and it is not uncommon for boomers and even gen Xers to look down on millennials thinking they are too young to do any kind of leadership position (because they are spoiled, undisciplined and can’t work hard which is such bullshit it would take a book to refute it) but anyway. You can hear some of that attitude in the press conference but whether any of them like it or not, millennials are the future leaders of the world. And as a millennial myself, I would say that we have done incredible work in an idealistic as well as a practical way.
i predict that by the end of her coaching career, jordyn will change the ncaa gymnastics eligibility & pro rules and turn college gymnastics into something as big as basketball.
Omg, I was in tears. I've been following her for years. She isn't just deserving, but I know that she will make enligthening choices. She will change minds by challenging them, inspiring them and mentoring a sport that is crying for help and change. Good luck and much love.
Jordyn is great!!! besides that, Miss Val's methods have to spread, bring back the enjoyment all over the country, what better person to do that then Jordyn Wieber, absolutely love this, GO Jordyn, congrats!!!!
Incredible hire!!! Been following UCLA gymnastics. Mentored by coach Val, wow. The floor program at UCLA will floor you! Welcome to U of A, and I’ll now follow UA gymnastics. Alumni
Congrats Jordan! The only down moment of this is that UCLA lost their amazing head coach, Miss Val, and now Jordan Wieber. I wonder how they’re gonna handle this and how this will effect them.
Incredible hire..Jordyn is wide beyond her years and I have no doubt she will make an incredible impact in Arkansas! Well done on the successful head coach roll out campaign 👏🏼
They grow up so fast. Jordan has blossomed into a confident, intelligent, capable, beautiful career woman in sports management. She is doing well in life.
Congrats to Jordyn. She will be missed at UCLA. She will do great. Arkansas will now be a rival for the NCAA championship. She has learned so much from miss val. Coach the whole person not just the athlete. Go pig soooeee. Got to work on that one. Lol. Awww Bobbie fields there to support her. Got to love this family. Love her confidence. Shes got this. Can't wait to watch this team skyrocket.
ucla alumni here. proud and happy for Jordyn Wieber. If only UCLA could've kept her as well as she will be truly missed. Good luck at Arkansas! U of A got a good one.
I am so happy for her! She deserves this and much more! I feel she's going to do get and succeed in everything she does! I remember watching here at the 2012 Olympics and thought she was just awesome! I have been following UCLA Gymnastics because of Jordyn, and now I'm excited to follow Arkansas Gymnastics and watch what see brings as the new head coach! Once again I am so happy for her!
im soooo beyond happy for her she has been one of my favorite gymnast of all time and my eyes started to water when she gave her speech she is soo deserving of this
Congratulations Jordyn, so excited and happy for you! Can't wait to see what you have in store for these ladies! Great improvement head for all. You'll do great!
Incredible! Arkansas has truly hit the jackpot here! Jordyn Wieber is such an incredible woman, and is destined to do great things. Looks like I'll be following Razorback Gymnastics now!!
Like so many others, I have been watching Jordyn since she was a part of the Junior National Team. I feel so proud of the growth she has made in the sport and how she has grown into such a poised and professional young woman. I have no doubt she is going to make a huge impact in her new role as head coach at Arkansas!! Looking forward to seeing more of her in January when "Friday Night Heights" begin!
First, that was the lamest hog calling I've ever seen. Second, I am so glad to see her in this position. You can only be a volunteer coach for so long, and seriously during the past six years, especially after Jordan graduated, she should have been hired as an official assistant coach. God knows that school has money enough. I'm not saying Miss Val had anything to do with it and I'm sure if it was within her power she would have changed the situation. But how long can someone feasibly be a "volunteer" coach? I am also happy to see more and more WOMEN being hired for head coaching positions across the board, rather than men coaching women's sports. I am putting Arkansas on my list of college gymnastics teams to follow!
I could not be more proud and excited for Michigander, Jordyn Wieber, as she starts this new chapter of life! Miss Val, in my opinion, is one of the finest gymnastics coaches, EVER! MUCH LUCK, Jordyn! The Razorbacks have some new Michigan fans!
So happy for Jo!! Omg!! And to that man's point, I see no negative statements about Jordyn in the comment section 😊 A little sadness for UCLA which is understandable bc both Jo and Miss Val won't be there next season. However, I think Jordyn is gonna be a game changer for Arkansas! Congratulations!! 🎉
So SUPER EXCITED for you Jordyn Wieber!!! All that time you spent with Miss Val is definitely paying off. I wish you nothing but great success in your future with the Razorbacks!!! Prayers!
I watched this again. She's doing a great job and has Kyla along with her. BTW, UCLA has the #2 floor after the first 5 weeks and based on recent showings, will be #1 by the end of the year.
Why do I feel like she was interviewing for her job in this press conference? More than one question about her past experience and skills. It's a little obnoxious when she's already been hired, but I can't say I'm surprised.
This is a smart, signature hire. Women's gymnastics is an awesome sport that needs a new wave of leadership. What better place to start than strong women like Coach Jordyn Wieber? Miss Val at UCLA showed the way with her humanity. Jordyn brings that magic to Arkansas, plus star power for recruiting. Two years ago Olympic and NCAA gymnast Courtney Kupets Carter was named coach of the Georgia GymDogs women's team. She has done well, even without the prior coaching success that Jordyn brings. Georgia is ranked number 8. Arkansas is 20 (up from 24 when the two teams played in February). This is going to be a long, challenging march for a good team that can get better. I have every confidence that Jordyn knows that. AD Yurachek made the right pick for the future. I hope that he helps his new coach weather the storms of press critics who expect instant success.
So glad we got her. Surprised she didn't replace Miss Val but glad she is at arkansas . She should have gotten Katelyn Ohashi as well to help her . Huge win for Arkansas sports can't wait to follow Arkansas now in Gymnastic
At her age I'd she had it may not have been that great of a good idea in that she would be couching in Miss Val's shadow. Here she is not on her shadow.
OMG... I'm soooo excited about this for Arkansas and for Jordyn... I feel a might conflicted because I 💙 UF... But I'm going to watch Arkansas and for them on too even thou they're in the SEC too. I feel the need to make a correction about her being the first Olympian to coach an NCAA gymnastics team, she actually isn't that would go to Courtney Kupets (I forget what her hyphenated married name is 😅) but she is the head coach for Georgia and was a member of the 2004 Olympic team winning a silver & bronze not to mention her amazing NCAA career. I can't wait to see what Jordyn can do with this team!!! She could be the rebirth of Miss Val and I'm so pumped to see what she can do
So happy for you Jordyn! Arkansas is going to be so much better with you there. But, as an Arkansas native I do have to say that was a very weak Hog Call! Not your fault Jordyn (your new)......everyone else that has been calling the Hogs for a long time....that was terrible!!!!
Looking back 2 years she is doing a terrific job and she just hired another UCLA gymnast to be her Assistant (Fish, Felica Hano). Its all about the recruiting and getting the best Elites.
I was hoping she would take over for miss Val at UCLA, but I am so happy for her, this was well deserved by her I can’t wait to start following Arkansas next season
Wishing you the best!!#
Katherine Butler Do you know who is taking over?
Don't be surprised if she comes back home to UCLA.
I get the sense that the reporters not familiar with her gymnastics career have NO IDEA what a win this is for Arkansas, regardless of her age.
NO KIDDING!!! Just google the girl! It's a huge honor to have her! So eloquent and confident!
They pushed her. She is very young and there are uncertainties regarding that. You don’t gain experience just by being a little mature for your age.

Literally wow. I wish I would’ve been this put together, intelligent, and confident at 23. Absolutely incredible. What a HEAD COACH!!!!!
Edgehead10075 Why does it matter how she looks in a bikini ???!!!!
Oh right because it doesn’t matter
i predict that by the end of her coaching career, jordyn will change the ncaa gymnastics eligibility & pro rules and turn college gymnastics into something as big as basketball.
Wow
liceous All other teams are trying also. NCAA is so crazy on their rules.
It's already bigger than women's basketball at LSU. The fans really show out for gymnastics. It's been fun to see.
@@eew12 that is so cool to hear! Is Sarah Finnegan still at LSU? Geaux Tigers!
Collegiate gymnastics gets bigger every year. Especially now with ohashi and others going viral with their routines.
Omg, I was in tears. I've been following her for years. She isn't just deserving, but I know that she will make enligthening choices. She will change minds by challenging them, inspiring them and mentoring a sport that is crying for help and change. Good luck and much love.
I’ve waited for her redemption since 2012 and I’m SO happy to see her get it here as head coach of Arkansas. I’m so proud of her!
I love Jordyn, will be adding Arkansas gymnastics to the school I follow next year!!
It's so sweet that Bobby went there to support her. The Fields' are seriously class acts.
Wow, so impressed by Jordyn. Had no idea she is 23! I'm amazed by how wise she is and how well spoken she is. Wishing her all the best!
Jordyn is great!!! besides that, Miss Val's methods have to spread, bring back the enjoyment all over the country, what better person to do that then Jordyn Wieber, absolutely love this, GO Jordyn, congrats!!!!
Incredible hire!!! Been following UCLA gymnastics. Mentored by coach Val, wow.
The floor program at UCLA will floor you!
Welcome to U of A, and I’ll now follow UA gymnastics. Alumni
she’s only 23!!! but has totally shown she is worth giving a chance to. can’t wait to see the amazing things she does.
Yeah definitely, but she’s gotta prove herself and I’m not on board yet
She has grown so beautifully! I'm so excited for her journey!
Congrats Jordan! The only down moment of this is that UCLA lost their amazing head coach, Miss Val, and now Jordan Wieber. I wonder how they’re gonna handle this and how this will effect them.
Artist Koby Chris Waller has been with UCLA for years. He is more than qualified to take over for Miss Val.
@sboudreaux27 wait and see how many 2020 Olympians come to UCLA. We already have 3 great recruits signed for 2021
Incredible hire..Jordyn is wide beyond her years and I have no doubt she will make an incredible impact in Arkansas! Well done on the successful head coach roll out campaign 👏🏼
So excited to see where she is going to take this program! You know Miss Val is gonna be on speed dial!! :-)
As an Arkansas native and a huge fan of UCLA gymnastics, i am so thrilled!! I’ll be following both teams and wishing so much success for both teams!
They grow up so fast. Jordan has blossomed into a confident, intelligent, capable, beautiful career woman in sports management. She is doing well in life.
I bet UCLA said she was too young... and we want to to stay the floor coach.
Then she said oh really?
Head coach of the Razorbacks! Go girl!
Had a more qualified associate coach to take her place in Chris Waller.
Congrats to Jordyn. She will be missed at UCLA. She will do great. Arkansas will now be a rival for the NCAA championship. She has learned so much from miss val. Coach the whole person not just the athlete. Go pig soooeee. Got to work on that one. Lol. Awww Bobbie fields there to support her. Got to love this family. Love her confidence. Shes got this.

lol
I really hoped she would follow ms val! but this is a HUGE win for arkansas. Go Jo!

At that time you could only have 2 Assistant Coaches per NCAA.
Congrats Jordyn I am proud of her for being
I the olympian and learning from coach Val and a head coach
I could not be more proud and excited for Michigander, Jordyn Wieber, as she starts this new chapter of life! Miss Val, in my opinion, is one of the finest gymnastics coaches, EVER! MUCH LUCK, Jordyn! The Razorbacks have some new Michigan fans!
Congratulations 🎉🎈 Jordyn!!!
Jordyn is such an inspiration to me!
My favorite gymnast!
Gave me chills!! GO JORDYN
I’m so happy to see she’s thriving
This is great, she will be a fantastic coach.
UCLA: Loses floor coach and greatest choreographer ever
UCLA: Am I a joke to you?
The coaching replacements are outstanding and were assistants under miss Val at one point in their career. And we have a new and dynamic choreography.
So happy for Jo!! Omg!! And to that man's point, I see no negative statements about Jordyn in the comment section 😊 A little sadness for UCLA which is understandable bc both Jo and Miss Val won't be there next season.

Congratulations Jordyn!!!! Welcome to Arkansas!
I am crying here, She deserve it and much more!
Wow! Congratulations! This is super exciting.
Either way..Congrats Jordyn!!🙂👏
Wow this is an awesome accomplishment at 23, and she really deserves it! Go Jordyn!!
Great opportunity for Jordan. Congrats and kudos to her!
Never followed Arkansas gymnastics but I guess I’ll start now lol with her as Coach, Arkansas to Nattys 2020??
sboudreaux27 very true. Not so much Bama now, I feel like they’re declining a little bit but LSU and UF are definitely the ones to beat
She will be amazing!
She is AMAZING ✊💙
huge congratulations!
Congratulations Jordyn!
Goodluck!!!you look greate ...and you"ll do fine !!!

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Wendy get a life
Plus, she's had SIX YRS under Miss Val, which is HUGE, considering UCLA'S success! She's going to knock some socks off!
Wishing her all success in this new endeavor!
i guess i’m a fan of arkansas gymnastics now
This is exciting!!
Yes girl! Go crush it Jordyn!

Welcome to the SEC, Jordan!!!!!!
😊😍🏅🏆🤩
Oh no. Really?
Miss Val gone, Jordyn gone.... this is hard for UCLA
Frau Stolluba well Arkansas is losing people too so... they are equal tbh
carly meadows almost every team loses people if they have seniors
Aww it’s nice to see a great end for Jordan. She missed that college experience and it was so sad. I’m so happy for her
just another beginning
Good for her !! Good luck Jordyn
So glad we got her. Surprised she didn't replace Miss Val but glad she is at arkansas . She should have gotten Katelyn Ohashi as well to help her .
Huge win for Arkansas sports can't wait to follow Arkansas now in Gymnastic
At her age I'd she had it may not have been that great of a good idea in that she would be couching in Miss Val's shadow. Here she is not on her shadow.
Way to go Jordan!!!!! So happy for you!!! and i wish they would STOP HARPING ON YOUR AGE!!!! 23 doesn't mean you don't know anything!! jeesh!
Wow I'm kind of surprised by this!
Me and you both! I was expecting her to be the head coach of the UCLA Women's Gymnastics Team..
OMG... I'm soooo excited about this for Arkansas and for Jordyn... I feel a might conflicted because I 💙 UF... But I'm going to watch Arkansas and for them on too even thou they're in the SEC too.

The Gutless Warrior Jordyn is the first Olympic champion. She received the gold medal in the team competition.
Jordan is an icon, role model and is GOING TO KICK A$$ IM SO PROUD OF HERRRR!
So happy for you Jordyn! Arkansas is going to be so much better with you there. But, as an Arkansas native I do have to say that was a very weak Hog Call! Not your fault Jordyn (your new)......everyone else that has been calling the Hogs for a long time....that was terrible!!!!
At least you are in the SEC!! Congrats Jordan!
So excited for her! Welcome to the SEC.
Congratulations Jordyn Weiber go get them girl..
Like UCLA keep putting videos in UA-cam. I hope @Arkansas will hire a social media person to handle this
Looking back 2 years she is doing a terrific job and she just hired another UCLA gymnast to be her Assistant (Fish, Felica Hano). Its all about the recruiting and getting the best Elites.
Great!
Yea Jordan!!!
Awesome.
W O W.
Jaw dropping!!!!
Go Jordyn!!!
That was like a whole nother interview
I watched you win when I was a sophomore in high school
Congratulations Jordan! I was sorta hoping you would take over UCLA once Valorie left...but either way....Congratulations!
I wish people would spell her name right!
@@JustKeepSinging24 you'll get over it.......and if you don't......oh fucking well huh
Jordyn had to start somewhere and she will have fun doing it ♥️😁
Wow wow wow - well deserved
Wow Head coach....Congrats Jordyn...brilliant....at 23...i was ....pewwwww....i was........
All the best and be save.
Congrats Jordan we’re behind you 1000%!!! Blessings in JESUS mighty name!!✝️🙏💜🔥
Jo did good in the first two years as the new HC at Arkansas. But she's got to start winning regular season meets.
Awesome
