Where does Dave Van Horn rank among Razorback coaches not named John McDonnell?
When the Razorbacks take the field in Omaha on Saturday afternoon for the program's eighth appearance at the College World Series, it will be, as many know, coach Dave Van Horn's forth appearance at the event as Arkansas' coach and sixth total appearance.
The accomplishment has caused some to ask if we can declare Van Horn the best coach currently on Arkansas' campus. I'd go further. I believe it's time to start considering Van Horn's place among the all-time Razorback coaching greats.
It's often considered that reaching the College World Series is the equivalent of making the Final Four in basketball, clearly reaching that milestone four times (and in only 13 seasons) would put a coach on an elite level.
