lol, that will be interesting dynamics... wonder if they were at Nationals starting the recruiting process....With Suzanne as the "volunteer" coach.....
A fiasco in the making. Kupets has zero coaching experience. Why were no assistant coaches announced? Can they not find any to take the jobs?
I think she was the UGA volunteer assistant coach for a year.A fiasco in the making. Kupets has zero coaching experience. Why were no assistant coaches announced? Can they not find any to take the jobs?
I can't imagine signing on as an assistant there, with Suzanne officially entrenched...what would my duties be? Fetching coffee for the master and her protege? I thought for someone to be able to succeed there, Suzanne would have to commit to backing off...and that didn't happen...not that Kupets can't succeed but with Suzanne at the hip, this will be viewed as Suzanne, part 2.
On the flip side, if the results don't happen like they think they will (" we will win championships" and with so many good teams out there that's a nice lofty goal), I wonder if Suzanne will turn on Kupets like what happened with Jay and Danna. I wish Courtney well and hope she succeeds but boy, does she have her work cut out for at UGA and home ( a 17 mo old and another in a few months!)
If Youclan is in full control of the program how does Kupets get blamed if things don't work out?I agree. I hope I'm wrong. Kupets seems like a great person and is currently legendary at UGA. But if things don't work out Kupets will be blamed. Yoculan is in full control of the gymnastics program, but not committed enough to be the coach. I still don't understand why she "retired" but never left. It's a very odd and unstable environment.
Official HC vs behind the scenes influencer. Do major football boosters ever take the blame when their influence wrecks a program? No, the football HC gets the boot. Money talks, and if you're supplying it, you get to control the narrative. If you're taking it, you get told what's happening.If Youclan is in full control of the program how does Kupets get blamed if things don't work out?
That was the first thing that jumped out to me.............With Suzanne as the "volunteer" coach.....
A few words come to mind.If Youclan is in full control of the program how does Kupets get blamed if things don't work out?

To me it appears Youclan has come out of the shadows of the UGA program and is clearly back with the program. As Seeker pointed out above, there may be reasons why Youclan cannot simply come back and be Head Coach. With that being the case, her return to the program comes with some accountability, no?Most people believe that Kupets was hired to be the head coach. I believe she was hired to be a puppet. Yoculan and her husband (who is reportedly still married to his first wife, nice example) control UGA athletics. The UGA athletics department would release a statement saying whatever they are told by Leeburn. And he's not likely to blame the person he lays next to every night.
I fell bad for Kupets. How could she turn it down? It's her school and she's the GOAT. And her coach is telling her how great she will be at coaching the team. I'm sure they pay is much better than coaching lower level gymnastics.
her return to the program comes with some accountability, no?
Probably more like Youclan tapped Kupets as Head Coach and made herself a Volunteer Assistant. Still interesting....So kupets has tapped youclan as volunteer assistant coach. No other assistants have been named. That could make things very interesting
