I'm 100% serious. He has had a long time and is a terrific coach, but he won't ever win a title. Right now Arkansas is in a position to attract any coach they want for the most part and an AD that can upgrade from Van Horn. This isn't to say I don't think Van Horn is a great coach and I love what he has done for our program, but I think it's time to move on.

People dont show up to watch losing football and basketball.
Baseball is different. Different levels of expectations. It's the WMS level of the fanbase, just being there is more than enough. Nothing like a game at baum nowatimsayin'

DVH will never be canned as long as we're competitive, but it's time that even his biggest cheerleaders admit he's probably going to go down as one of the winningest coaches to never have won it all.

He’s Carson Shaddy not being a dumbass away from having that title. That wasn’t on him and he should absolutely have one right now.
In the past four seasons, we’ve been to Omaha three times finishing 2nd and 3rd in two of them. He’s absolutely elevated our program in the last 5 years versus the previous 15. Why would we honestly think he can’t get it done with the way recruiting is going?

Who is actually attainable that would be an upgrade from DVH?

I realize that. And Van Horn was one dropped foul away from a title. But it's been a long damn time and he has had several cracks at it. As someone else said, the decision to not start McEntire was inexplicable. There is no excuse for it. In the second game he was frickin' dealing. And he was ready to go for the first.
It makes no sense and if it weren't for the fact that I know he was just being cute, I would suspect he tanked his team deliberately.
He won't ever win it. He just won't. And right now our program is in a position to upgrade.

He won't ever win it. It's my opinion we should replace him, but I realize we won't.

Who isn't attainable? Arkansas over pays for the sport.
Hunter is the one who should be asked, he is paid the big bucks to have the answer to your question.

But he’s coming to Oxford when Bianco retires so you Babylonian whores stay away from him!

No one actually has an answer for who you would get that would be guaranteed as better than DVH. We need to fire him just because.

I get the frustration they have. It would be one thing if he wasn’t making it to Omaha but he consistently makes it there and is one dropped fly ball away from a title. Until he stops getting y’all to Omaha, I don’t think he should be shown the door either.

Hey when I asked that question an answer wasn't given or said to be deserved.
I understand your point, but that doesn't mean we all pretend we couldn't do better.

They talk as if we're Alabama football and should just walk into titles. Only two teams in the country had a better year than us this year and we're hearing about how we should find a better coach. Spoiled beyond belief.

He won't be. But he should be.

What was Arkansas baseball like before he got to Fayetteville? Was it always decent or was it a total build from the ground up like Bianco at Ole Miss?

There is a group here convinced DVH should decide when he done here.
That's the problem, thats how guys like Houston Nutt hang around for a decade here and no longer than 4 years anywhere else.

DeBriyne had more conference titles and an equal number of second place finishes.
He built the program from nothing and left DVH one of two teams he's had that has won the SEC.

Comparing DVH to Houston Nutt is short bus worthy.
Posted on 6/24/22 at 12:33 am to DaleDenton
Well to be fair to y’all, Nutt literally tried to sabotage our program after he didn’t get the facilities he was promised after his second season. That’s why he didn’t last much longer.
Also, Van Horn has y’all consistently finishing in the top 10 and top 5. That not mediocre like Nutt

Stop comparing Nutt to DVH. No one in the SEC would take Nutt if their current coach left. Every single team in this conference would take DVH if their current coach left tomorrow. They are not the same.
