re: LSU gymnastics coach Jay Clark, entire staff staying after being pursued by Georgia

Well for one there was the part about being robbed of a title by the judges. A lot of people (not just LSU fans) felt that way. So that would be a national championship. There is the part of comparing apples to oranges. Jay would not have won this national title without the facilities that DD got built. And those three teams that got 2nd place in the nation were recruited with DD showing them drawings of what the facility would hopefully look like.
And I think it’s disingenuous to compare the two without pointing out the huge advantages Jay had because of DD. She built the fan base, she got the facilities built, and she never benefited from Oklahoma choking in a meet that LSU wasn’t even a part of. I fully believe that DD would have won a national championship if she had stayed 5 more years but she did what she thought was best for LSU. I also hope Jay stays until he wants to retire.
