I get how this may seem like a troll, but I really am sincere in this question.

With the resources and the amount of great regular seasons he has had there, is he at least being questioned by the locals why he seems to never get the postseason right?

No we make Omaha almost every season.

And have nothing to show for it.

You're also staring down not making it to Omaha as a top 2 overall seed for the second time in 3 years.

He’s one of the main reasons we have the support and facilities we have. He’s a damn good coach. One game doesn’t change that.

Post season is not a gimme for any coach or team. The strongest team last year didn’t make Omaha.

So the vibe is that he has just had a lot of bad luck, nothing systemic?

No, I think it’s baseball and other teams have something to do with how it turns out.

With the attrition we had this year this team probably shouldn’t have made it this far. That’s probably why they voted him coach of the year.

It’s extremely hard to win the CWS. The teams that make the CWS aren’t necessarily the “best” teams they are just the hottest. Look at Ole Miss last year.

Real baseball fans who aren't boomers don't say this

College baseball playoffs are, more or less, a crapshoot. There is a reason MLB playoffs consist of 5-7 game series. You cannot reliably determine the best team in a single- or double-elimination tournament.

IMO a college baseball coach should be judged on the number of CWS appearances, and Van Horn stacks up very well there.

Do you really think Ole Miss and MSU both have better staffs? They won it all the past two years...

You sure are baiting for a specific reaction a lot for someone who claims to not be trolling.

Well what do they say then, fire the coach? Tell us what they say so we’ll possess this important knowledge….

You can try to throw shade but DVH is inarguably one of the best coaches of the last 20 years.

Yep. Lots of wins over a long career but that's all.

He must be doing something right since you are so invested in it. If his program sucked you wouldn’t be here.

i like how you say "this isnt a troll" but every response of yours after that proves otherwise.

Great coach. Great program builder.

Totally shits the bed in the biggest moments.

He will never ever win a title.
