Surely, the LSU Tigers coach is the news at the moment for reasons more than one. He did an incredible job and propelled Olivia Dunne and co. to clinch the SEC Championship. 

Moreover, Clark, who is a UGA grad, served as the assistant coach under the legendary Suzanne Oculan. With speculations reaching sky-high and the possibilities being endless, fans have also gotten involved in a mix.

In a recent X update by GymCastic, the news of Jay Clark taking up the mantle of Georgia’s head coach was teased. It is a well-known fact that Georgia head coach, Courtney Kupets Carter was dismissed from her duties recently. And ever since the announcement, several names have been doing the rounds of who would probably take over the reigns.

One of the frontrunners that have emerged is Jay Clark. Following his immense success with the team, the possibility of Clark switching sides does not look far-fetched. The induction of their latest head coach would mean Georgia now has appointed four head coaches since 2009. This was after their iconic mentor, Suzanne Yoculan retired with Georgia boasting of a whopping 10 NCAA championships. Looking at the present scenario, Jay Clark seems to be the most viable option for Georgia to come back into the championship picture. Such a high-profile rumor seems to have caught the attention of the fans, and they were quick to react.
