Why is DD Breaux suddenly so successful?

Granted I don't follow gymnastics much but why is it that we've had so much success in the last 6ish years compared to before? Did we suddenly start investing more in the program? I'm not trying to be negative about DDs time here before then I'm just genuinely curious what started to click to make us so consistently elite recently.

Better resources (more money invested in gymnastics) and Jay Clark
Both contributed to way better talent coming to LSU
Its not like she was ever a bad coach, just didn't quite have that talent for the next level. Talent is an essential in this sport

Better question might be how was she as successful as she was without so much support over the years? No doubt adding Jay Clark tot he program was a huge turning point.

It's really not DD's improvement, it's the UGA assistant who will undoubtedly SOON take over the program.
It's the same loose cannon DD, and LSU built facilities that would attract the best.
Let's be clear, DD is affable and nice, if you will, but her competency in the SEC yielded 1 SEC-C in 40 years. Soooooooooooooooooo.......
That assistant is the reason for LSU's surge, PLUS THE FACILITY RECRUITMENT, IMHO, DD is just window dressing with her shiny outfits, acting like a geriatric cheerleader.

Sarah Patterson, Suzanne Yoculan and Rhonda Faehn all retired/left and were replaced by poor replacements. DD was smart enough to have hired the assistants.

Didn't Sue Gunter do pretty much the same thing?
These type of coaches would not be able to this nowadays since fans have the win now attitude or be fired. Plus gymnastics didn't matter to fans until lately. Just like baseball didn't matter until the mid 80's. I remember when you didn't need a ticket for gymnastics, softball, wbb, and baseball.
