Dave Van Horn.

Since being hired in 2002:
Made tournament every year besides 2016 (17 appearances),
8 regional championships,
6 CWS appearances
1 Finals appearance.

Before DVH
14 NCAA tournament appearances
4 regional championships
4 CWS apperances
1 runner up

DVH has turned Arkansas from an average college baseball program with a goal of making the NCAA tournament yearly, to a national powerhouse with a goal of making the CWS every year. Very few programs in any aport have had as radical of a flip.



On a side note you could actually argue Saban twice since he basically kicked off LSU's rebranding from an above average but not phenomenal football school to an absolute national powerhouse.
