Two years ago, he resigned at UK. Now Gary Henderson is in the College World Series.

Two years ago, Gary Henderson was resigning as Kentucky's head baseball coach after failing to make the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive year.

Sunday night, as the interim head coach at Mississippi State, Henderson was earning a spot in the College World Series.

What a crazy season it has been for the veteran coach, who led UK to a 258-199 record and two NCAA Tournament appearances in his eight seasons (2009-16) as head coach.

After going 32-25 overall and 15-15 in the SEC, Henderson resigned on June 1, 2016, saying it was time to step aside and let someone else try and take the UK baseball program to new heights.
