  • Since Arizona hired Arians and did not retain Horton the word is he's coming to the Browns.

    Horton is a 3-4 guy who coached secondary for the Steelers and brought that same type of defense to Arizona.

    .....

    In other news MKC just tweeted Mike Lombardi is interviewing for GM job today.

  • I believe that those players gave up on their head coach last season, Horton didn't have much to do about it. The only reason they won't their first 4 games of the season was because the defense was dominate, so I believe that Horton would be a good hire for DC, especially when you consider he has something to prove now after being passed up for the HC spot with the Cardinals and because compared to who else is available he is probably at worst one of the top 2 guys available, if not the top guy.

  • Horton would be a great hire for DC. He sounds like the best option that I have heard.

  • Raheem Morris.

    In Cleveland failure is an artform.

  • Hopefully we hire him. It's the only thing that will get the Lombardi hire's taste out of my mouth.

    Former Cardinals DC Ray Horton expected to become Browns new DC...

    I know it's another Twitter report, but Schefter usually doesn't just tweet garbage. Usually knows something. BUT, still not a sure thing yet.

  • Just got a text from the Browns its confirmed, Horton is a great hire and he ran a hybrid 3-4 4-3 attacking zone blitzing defense in Arizona. Great hire! Much better than Jaurons break but dont bend defense.

    It didn’t take long for Ray Horton to find a new job.

    Horton, the former Cardinals defensive coordinator who was reportedly unhappy when he was passed over for the head-coaching job in Arizona, has landed in Cleveland as the Browns’ new defensive coordinator.

    “We are truly excited that we were able to get someone of Ray’s caliber as our defensive coordinator,” Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said in the team’s announcement. “He possesses a great deal of experience as a player, position coach and coordinator in the NFL and has been part of some of the top defenses in the league throughout his career. He is an extremely talented coach and I know that he will work very well with the young nucleus of players we have on defense.”

    Horton has been the Cardinals’ defensive coordinator for the last two years. Prior to that he spent seven seasons on the coaching staff in Pittsburgh, two seasons in Detroit, five seasons in Cincinnati and three seasons in Washington. Before becoming an NFL assistant coach he spent 10 seasons as an NFL player.

    Slow Ur Role Jabroni!

  • His Arizona "defense" gave up 58 points to Seattle.

    I hate to say it, but this season is going to be a disaster.

    Yeah, that one game is what you should go on.

    The one where the Arizona offense turned the ball over 8 times and gave up two touchdowns.

    Don't look at the 20-18 win the Patriots. Or the fact that their defense was statistically better than ours.

    The only problem I have with Horton is that if we have one really good year he will be gone to a head coaching position. He nearly got one this year.

    Unless he DOESN'T and he gives us TWO really good years!

  • Horton is an excellent hire for DC..

    Cant wait until april rolls around, its going to be really interesting to see how the draft goes this year...😉

    We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS!

  • I'm so tired of people bringing up that 58-0 loss. As Z said the offense turned the ball over 8 times and two for Tds. What the hell do you want a coordinator to do when you're unit is out there 80% of the time guarding the red zone? This guy was the most sought after minority coach in the NFL and clearly is well respected in the league.

  • Like the hire but worry he could be a one or two year rental. He was a lot of people's short lists of head coaches (if only for Rooney Rule purposes). I see him getting a HC job soon.

    That would be assuming the Browns get a winning record or at least a very strong defense which would still be a good thing and put positive energy in the organization.
