DVH took over a program that was pretty bad in the 90s and had a 15 year Omaha drought.

Arkansas didn't have much baseball history prior and the brand was much smaller then than now.

It was a slow build but the 2004 CWS run believe was his best coaching job, I don't believe a single player got drafted on that team.

It wasn't until 2012 that DVH was able to get Arkansas in position to make a run to Omaha each season.

Recruiting slowly began to pick up and instate talent began to improve as well. Now just these last five years, Arkansas is recruiting top five classes.

DVH is an excellent coach. The thread is pointless though. It’s like comparing Nate oats to kelvin sampson. There’s literally two decades of results that don’t really confirm anything.

Our fans have completely lost it over this season.

Jay’s entire body of work as a head coach is fantastic-especially at his age.

Yeah, it has taken years for Dave to get the program and facilities to the level to recruit top talent and the fan support is outstanding now.I doubt we’d be close to where we are with any other coach..
