Year but he’s in the hunt most years. I don’t know expect Johnson to win the CWS every year or even the SEC but my Lord, I didn’t expect this kind of drop. I KNOW..they lost a lot but they should re-load.

Well when you have a coach that’s been at the school for 25 years I think it’s safe to assume it’s the foundation that’s always there.
Like many have pointed out a recruiting class we had a few years ago that would be juniors gutted us. It’s only year three for Johnson. He’s still building his foundation and it takes time.
Maineri was fairly consistent but I never thought he did a great job hiring elite assistants with the budget we gave him. Kelly has always gone after the best, and even if Yeskie doesn’t pan out I can’t blame us hiring a guy Schlossngle and Pat Casey approve of:

One down season has really broken y'all. Pretty sure Arky would happily trade baseball history with LSU.

Was it really necessary to make a duplicate thread from tiger rant?

Right, but you are OK with LSU not winning a title in 21 years for the sake of your version of consistency, I guess. Also he has been to Omaha in that period 7 times and played in the title series once and lost.
In that same time the Tigers have won 2 titles and been to Omaha 8 times and played in the title series 3 times. Jay Johnson has played for the title twice and won it once.

DVH finished 7th in the SEC West a few years back. They actually had a losing record overall. You wouldn't be able to have handled that either. I'd love to have seen what you would have said had that happened to one of your coaches.
DVH is like 17 years older than Jay and he's only played for 1 championship in his 34 years of coaching.
Jay has already played for 2. Jay is very much consistent. Look at his record. He has won at every stop. He has also been coach of the year in multiple conferences.
It's one down season. Even your precious DVH had one within the past decade.

DVH is the goat. The elites like that are rare but you definitely appreciate being a title contender for more or less 20 years.
And no I wouldn't trade one title for falling off the face of the earth like say OM or MSU. Rather be a top 3 team for 20 years consistently as that is a lot more entertainment for fans than one run and you're shite for 5 years firing coaches etc.

Honest Answer: investment
It takes 120 million a year to run a successful football program
It takes 50-60 million a year to run a successfully basketball program
It takes 20 million a year to run a successful baseball program
It’s hard to be able to consistently spread the resources and most schools want to prioritize football over everything else. Most try to atleast field respectable teams for those 3 but end up shortchanging all 3. Vandy is all in on baseball and don’t care about winning in the other 2.
Arky has enough baseball boosters to keep them for being cut in favor of football or basketball. They don’t have enough nil money to consistently win titles but are in the sweet spot of enjoying good competitive baseball.

DVH brings in solid recruiting classes even with the MLB draft year after year and the facilities are awesome.
