BillsGuyInMalta Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Good stuff, I like him a lot...he definitely knows how to create havoc on the defensive side of the ball. Back to back seasons of 54+ sacks since he became coordinator of the Cards D. Also 20+ INTs each season for his squads too. Players all love him too but I think he has zero experience on the offensive side of the ball so he'd have to come stacked with a good offensive coordinator.

major Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Coaches from the Cardinals and Browns should be last on any team's interview list. Are we serious??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Actually, Ray Horton is kind of a chique name around the league right now. Good defensive mind. And let's face it; a Bills coach with corn rows is a pretty boss visual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 God no! Why? We aren't the only ones. Don't just read "Arizona Cardinals Coordinator" and assume it's a bad move. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/12/31/cardinals-receive-several-requests-for-ray-horton/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Reports out Arizona is that the Bills have requested to interview DC Ray Horton. (According to WGR) bringing back the 34! always liked that Defense better and with the guys in my sig we can make the easy transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 From what I've read he's the leading candidate for the Cards HC job... @Cardschatter Bidwill: Horton is a candidate. Official interview coming soon. Steve Keim candidate for GM. Sure sounds that way. Defensive staff kept while HC and offensive staff fired.

Dr. Trooth Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 So Horton's a good dc. We need a good dc. We should advise the new hc to consider Horton as dc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJasper Probincrux III Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Well, if they get Horton assume we go back to 3-4. Mario goes to OLB which is what Houston was doing with him his last year. Dareus and Carrington at DE, Williams at NT I guess. Sheppard gets to stay as an ILB, Bradham becomes a rushbacker from hell (win). We need another ILB and much LB depth. I really dont want to go back to 3-4...we have a 4-3 line in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Doug Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) I'm very disappointed in you. What exactly is the connection? I assume Horton had some type of coaching responsibilities in Pittsburgh, but what did he do there? I think we're all going to end up happy with the coaching hire. Russ isn't going to make some BS hire because they worked together 20 years ago, he knew his father, owes him a favor, or won't threatening his GM duties. There's to be no kitty footing around with a "safe" hire. He's going to hire the best man for the job. Edited January 1, 2013 by kas23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he holds out til he gets a trade, because that was the exact reason why he left Houston and came to Buffalo. HE DOESN'T WANT TO PLAY IN A 3-4 Edited January 1, 2013 by apuszczalowski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmsmystic Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Here is my prediction- this will happen fast! I live in Arizona and this guy is a rising star. He is prepared and keeps detailed notes on every team and scheme. He will come prepared to the interview and blow everyone away. There is some urgency because the Cardinals are also restructuring right now, and they like him. He will get hired somewhere this week imho. The players love and respect him, he has a calm, but capable demeanor, and great coaching pedigree (he learned defense from Dick Lebeau who may be the best ever) He would I think bring some immediate credibility and if I dare say some needed panache to Buffalo You heard it here!!!
