This is as dumb as fans comparing will Wade to Kim mulkey. You can’t fairly compare two coaches when they’re legitimately 20 years apart.

Jay built Nevada from nothing into a winner, then he won at Arizona, where there is tradition but not the resources SEC schools have. Van Horn was a pitching coach only prior to Arkansas the hogs have the best stadium in the country and have had for some time.


As someone mentioned earlier-what’s your explanation for Arkansas going 7-23 in sec play in 2016? Does that mean Dave van horn is a fraud? Bad seasons just happen. How is this so confusing for some of you? Corbin and O’Sullivan have also had awful seasons with loaded rosters. What exactly is your explanation for that?

Jay is young, a winner, and highly respected in the profession. But comparing coaches with nearly two decades between coaching is just fricking dumb

I think Johnson will be fine. But Van Horn was more than just a pitching coach. He won a D2 national championship then took doormat Nebraska to 2 CWS.

Van Horn built Nebraska of all places into a baseball power prior to going to Arkansas. He's been a head coach at various levels for 30+ years.

That it's not true. Pretty sure O'Sullivan hasn't missed a regional, and Corbin hasn't missed on since 2005 (2020 notwithstanding).

Are you the dude that called The Buzz in Little Rock all the time? That would help explain you using our mascot by your username.
