Reid should have waited for a DC
 

I know Andy wanted to get a staff in place, and I know he did ask for permission to interview Ray Horton, but was rebuffed, but he should have waited a week on the DC.

Horton is going to come available and it's a shame it won't be here.

meh, if Dutton doesnt work out, he can be replaced next season.

Hiring Horton would have been an absolute dream. That being said, I'm cautiously optimistic about what Sutton can do with a Ryan type 46.

meh, he's not going to be anyone's DC for long. Bet he's a HC next year. Kubiak's job isn't going to be safe after next season if he can't get that team to finish out strong.

Sutton is this new regime's year 1 Clancy Pendergast.

stop gap guy and if the defense is a weak point he will be instantly fired/replaced after one season

Sutton sucks it was a nistqke by Reid.

The thing is, he probably could've waited if he wanted. I could be wrong but I don't think anyone else would've hired Sutton as DC. Of course Horton might have only been here a year before leaving anyway. So it might not really matter.

I wouldn't be so sure about Horton getting a HC job elsewhere. Arizona didn't want him and they knew him.

I would have liked to have him running this D instead of Sutton, but I'll reserve full judgement.

I'm told Ray Horton is out as Cardinals defensive coordinator and will be replaced by Todd Bowles. Source who knows. Bad vibes all around.

Really impossible to know if he sucks or not.

That was not his defense with Mangini as many have pointed out here.

If he attacks, he'll have success. If he sits back, he'll be roasted.

Horton likely will be a Brown.

LOL

that organization is so ****ing cheap

Yup that's what Jason la canfora said when this went down.

A completely horrendous hire.

The Browns didn't land the HC, but what homerun coordinator hires.
