Jordan was with the program for four seasons prior to her promotion, serving as the assistant coach for three after beginning as a volunteer assistant in 2018.

“We are delighted to promote Jennifer to head coach of our women’s golf program,” Veatch remarked at the time of Jordan's hiring. “Jennifer has been a tremendous asset for the team the past four seasons as an assistant. She’s done a great job of supporting our student-athletes since joining the program and we are very optimistic about the future under her direction.”

In her first season as head coach in 2022-23, Jordan guided the Tigers to nine top-10 finishes in the team's 10 tournaments, including five top-fives. The best finish for Memphis came at the Lady Paladin Invitational, where the team tied for third overall.
