He had OU as the runner-up in 2022 and they'll at least be the runner-up in 2026, if they don't end up winning the thing.
I'm not sure how I feel about him. In eight years at Oklahoma, he's gone to the CWS twice while being unranked with basically .500 conference records and getting hot at the right time. Four of the other six years, he only went to a Regional. The remaining two, he missed the tournament altogether.
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good, especially if he ends up upsetting North Carolina. But I get the feeling he'd maybe do just good enough here to not get fired for ten years, and that's not an appetizing prospect.

You'll have Bobby Wernes and you'll like it when DVH hangs it up after next season

Y'all want to run off DVH but want to hire a dude that's done even less.
I don't get some of y'all.

It's just whoever wins a Natty at this point since DVH can't get it done

It is. We already have everything else. I don’t care about all time wins or appearances. DVH always squanders his good chances any time he gets, so yes I want to see someone who’s had 2 decades to win a natty and was given the keys the the Cadillac by Norm replaced at this point. We have THE SAME issues every year.

Within that same time frame DVH has won the West 5 times, has 3 SEC regular season or tournament championships, made Omaha 4 times, Supers 5 times and never missed the tournament.
This is getting ridiculous.

He also went undefeated in Arlington and yes we lost to TCU once again.
The signs were there with Pompey, Brumbaugh and the other failures of this staff.
Facts are, this staff can't get it done.

Larger issue is the AD.
0U has shite facilities in everything but football same small shitting instate recruiting pool like Arkansas, but they have had excellent ADs which have made good coaching hires in sports who have outperformed their lack of financial support in everything but football.
That said everyone knows their next baseball hire is coming from within like every non revenue sport hire hunter had made, this is why none of them are looking for jobs elsewhere. That and DVHs Nutt level of loyalty for underperforming by his staff has created a stagnet waiting game for the baseball program.
The fans deserve better.
