We need consistency and hopefully he brings good results for a long time.

That's what I think ultimately happened. I think Reid maybe wanted to speak to Horton, but at the end of the day he was probably looking for a veteran presence and a guy who wasn't just angling for a head coaching job next year. He probably wanted some stability there, and it looks like all of our defensive coaches are on the older side. Probably why Kiffin was at the top of his wish list...
