I definitely think Jenny will get a title as well. I always love when Gator fans with zero knowledge of gymnastics (they just look at scores, and never watch a meet) bark about Rowland not being good enough because the "program has fallen" since Rhonda Faehn left.
I think she managed this team perfectly, not worrying about making every stick all season (a philosophy similar to Faehn), but ratcheting up the intensity slightly every week so that the team hit many of their best routines during post-season (barring the disaster on Floor at the SECs, UF would have beat LSU). Next year will be quite interesting: it's a different format where the teams resolve the finalists during Regionals and only the top 4 make it to the Nationals.
