Childress was an assistant, a very good one, under DVH at Nebraska before Dave came to Arkansas. They had a good bit of success there.
Looking at what Childress has done with an also ran program like aggie it boggles the mind that they cut him loose.
But he will be better off leaving and will most likely land at a better spot.
Childress is a good coach, when he arrived at A&M they had made it to Omaha just 4 times in their history. In his 15 years (excluding covid season) he took them to Omaha only twice and failed to win a game at the CWS.
Guess how many CWS appearances Arkansas had before hiring Van Horn? 4. Arkansas and A&M were spitting images of each other until you hired Van Horn who sort of fell in your lap being a former player. Before 2003 A&M was 2-8 in Omaha and Arkansas was 7-8...
What they are doing now is no different than what Arkansas did when they moved on from a very regionally successful DeBriyn.
Look I get it is fun to make fun of Aggy but y'all are throwing stones from a glass house. Up until 2003, your baseball program was A&M's just with a CWS runner-up finish in '79.
If Van Horn had only gone to Omaha twice in 15 years and failed to win a game in Omaha, Arkansas would 100% have been looking to move on former player or not.

Arkansas committed to the baseball program before Van Horn was hired. In 1996 when money started going to the program is when things changed. Baum Stadium was built and Arkansas started putting together baseball only facilities.
Since money was committed to the program for Baum Stadium and player only facilities, Arkansas has made the NCAAt 21 times, won 3 conference titles, 7 SEC division titles, 6 CWS, and produced a multitude of MLB draftees.
Van Horn did not really fall in our lap. That is sort of a dumb analogy unless you feel like every former player in any sport who goes back to coach their alma mater is "falling in their laps" which sound pretty stupid.

aTm just now started putting money into its program, which is about 20-30 years behind other programs in the SEC and also in its own state.

Again, no it isnt. Arkansas has been throwing money into the baseball program for nearly 30 years and continued to make improvements. The program is one of the few in the nation that generates profit and is self sustainable. aTm isnt there yet. Will they ever be with Texas, TCU, Rice, Texas Tech, DBU all within the same state?

If my aunt had a dick, she'd be my uncle. What you describe about Van Horn is essentially what Ole Miss has in Bianco and he has remained with their program.

Lot of hypotheticals there. Maybe we can cut off South Carolina's and Florida's last 20 years too and bring them in to this

You aren't even good now, and that is your ceiling
You are delusional if you think you are getting a top coach
We are your betters in every measurable way in this sport
You're never going to get this point across to them. We tried for 100 years and they ended up just leaving the conference after we kept laughing at their delusions

This is the type of nonsense people spout when either they're too dumb to think or scared.
Obviously, anyone can be good. UT was trash for a long time and look at that, they're about to lock up a national seed all thanks for a good hire.
Clemson was Clemson until Dado turned them into Bama Lite.
Didn't tu think they were invincible with ole Mack Brown? Then they thought they were too good for Mack. Now 3 coaches later they've had 1 decent season.
The examples of this are countless.

You do realize that the last two coaches that retired from Texas were the winningest coaches ever when they did so? You do realize that no one has won in Omaha more, right? No one has even been more. Don't let that get in the way of your desperate aggie narrative though

Thank you for typing that to show everyone you weren't smart enough to get into Texas. But just like you getting only half of Arkansas' CWS appearances correct, your stupidity... well:

I am very obviously referencing Tennessee with Tony Vitello.

Oh sorry. I forgot we're Tulane on this site due to your inferiority complex. Carry on!

Are you trying to say UT isn't Tennessee?

Nah. Just laughing at your continued use of "tu" when we've made you our bitch in literally everything.
Oh I'm sorry... women's soccer. Y'all got us there. ROUGH TOUGH REAL STUFF!

You aren't THE University in Texas. You are just another texas university.
Then again, what do you expect from the school that gave us John Brennan and Elizabeth Warren?

They why did they name us "THE University of Texas" squirt? Oh that's right, so they could turn away people like you
According to basically every publication there is out there, Texas is the highest ranked and highest regarded public university in the state. Always have been, always will be.
