Horton angry about Arians hire
Ray Horton angry after Cardinals hire Bruce Arians
Posted by Michael David Smith on January 17, 2013, 9:53 PM EST http://nbcprofootballtalk.files.word...50x3.jpg?w=250 AP The Cardinals have hired Bruce Arians as their new head coach, and the in-house candidate who was passed over for Arians isn’t happy about it.Ray Horton, the Cardinals defensive coordinator who did an excellent job in 2012 while the Cardinals’ offense fell apart, was considered a strong candidate to replace the fired Ken Whisenhunt as the next head coach. Instead, the Cardinals have announced that Arians, who spent last season as the Colts’ offensive coordinator and interim head coach, will get the job. Multiple reports say Horton was angry at that announcement. Mike Jurecki of XTRA 910 reports that Horton had a heated exchange with new Cardinals General Manager Steve Keim when he found out that Arians got the job. Mike Garafolo of USA Today reports that Horton is “pissed.” It’s hard to blame Horton for feeling that way. He’s a well regarded defensive coordinator who paid his dues as an assistant and before that as an NFL player for 10 years. In any line of work, to be passed over for a promotion you think you have coming stings. Horton still has a year on his contract with the Cardinals, but Arians isn’t believed to want him to stay, and it sure doesn’t sound like Horton wants to stay. So Horton will presumably start looking for another job as an assistant, somewhere, after thinking he had a good chance of staying in Arizona and becoming the Cardinals’ next head coach. |
Can't blame the guy.
|
Lots of good coordinators have been passed over time and time again before they got their shot. Sounds like poor form.

i think he was led on too,
i find it hard to believe it's just a coincidence they waited to do this and then all the HC vacancies got locked up, and now Horton is pretty much screwed over he would have to leave to DC the Browns, that's his best option right now |
I don't blame him, he probably gave up other opportunities to stay home, and was likely led to believe the job was his.
|
So can we rethink the Sutton hire now?
|
Why is Ice T a DC for the Cardinals?

after reading those tweets etc, I'm thinking Reid would not want Horton here. Too much drama.

Marty, pr_capone, and Flopnuts need to do a webinar on saving your favorite sports franchise. A few of those guys could easily get trained to do what we did.
Airplane banners and twitter. That's all it takes. |

it's a shitty cheap organization, they are paying their GM 750k, the lowest paid GM in the league for comparison we were paying Scooter 7 to 8 million to field the pile of shit he did. |

To bad the Seahawks filled their DC position already he could have went there and kicked the Cards ass twice a year. |

Except the Cards play in a dome. :D |
Seriously? Who the **** cares.
In two years, Ray Horton will be only a footnote at CP, just like Todd Bowles was in 2009 and 2010. Stop the ridiculous grandstanding. |
If ever there was a time when Goodell could step in and pull a Stern ( not allow a player trade). I wish the Commish could have made the Cards hire Horton as HC just to piss this ownership off for what they did to him.

Might as well close the BB and the Internet for that matter. Stop being an A** and go to bed if you don't agree. Geez. |

Are you seriously whining because Horton is whining? Are you? |

I love how Arians is like, "It's a perfect fit for me." I'm not knocking Arians, I really hope he does well there, but this is all that was left. All these coaching openings, Bears, Eagles, etc were talking about bringing in Arians and then they all went in opposite directions even after he got out of the hospital and to his interviews. If I were a Cards fan I would think that the Cards settled because they couldn't get the coach they should've.

The fact he's not a Head Coach yet is a crime. |

They got their own KC Nut. AZ Nut? http://forums.azcardinals.com/showthread.php?t=64237 The eagles was learning the wide 9 def that looks a lot like our def under Horton and didn't it take time for our def to gel under horton or did it gel ? but the eagles were learning it at mid season when the players pretty much quit we all heard that from some of the players on the eagles. |

The nfl is a close fraternity. There are bad owners, but there are some real good ones too. The good ones obviously know something about Zimmer that's raising red flags. Same reason al Saunders and Ron Rivera struggled for so long to find head coaching gigs. |

he's out and available

Wouldnt surprise me if the league looked into this. Especially since there were no minority head coaching hires.
|
Can we fire Sutton already? ROFL
