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.

Corbin and O’Sullivan have also had awful seasons with loaded rosters. What exactly is your explanation for that?

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

That was my mistake on van horn. But he went 7-23 in sec play in 2016 and has had disappointing seasons. Does that make him a bad coach?

And Vanderbilt had a few seasons in the 2010’s where they lost 25+ games. With Vanderbilt’s talent that’s not great but doesn’t mean I’m assuming Corbin isn’t a great coach. O’Sullivan went 29-30 in 2013, 34-26 in 2019 and this season is a disaster. Again he’s still a great coach.

Just because they crawled into a regional that doesn’t make the season a success. With the way those two programs recruit it’s evident circumstances arise.

It’s just dumb for an LSU fan to compare Johnson to coaches with nearly two decades more coaching experience to him. He’s still incredibly young.
