Jay Clark is rumored to be announced as the head coach of Georgia. Currently basking in the glory of his NCAA championship victory, the future seems to be already decided for Clark.

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.
