After seven seasons in Fayetteville, Jordyn Wieber — Olympic gold medallist and world champion turned first-time head coach — is stepping away from the Arkansas Razorbacks gymnastics program she quietly transformed. In her place steps her husband, Chris Brooks, himself a former Olympian, completing a transition that has been taking shape since the two began building something together in 2019. It is a moment that asks an old question in a new form: what does it mean to hand off something you built, and to whom could you hand it more trustingly?
