      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.

    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!

    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.

    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.
