Who would've figured

Good for him, glad to see him get picked up.

Well, this is the smartest thing Whiz has done lately. If he is bringing in Russ Grimm they cancel each other out though.

Whishenhunt is on the right track.

i ultimately think Wz is doomed there because he doesn't have a QB, but this is a solid move for him and looks like these guys are gonna be attached to the hip until Horton gets a shot at a HC job. smart move.

I think it's kind of BS that Horton just bailed on Cleveland after one year especially when they drafted the guy he wanted in round 1 Mingo. It's not like he's moving up its the same job somewhere else. Yes I understand Cleveland sucks but I think they got a better talent on D than the titans

Seriously? They fired the head coach who hired him after one season and there is no guarantee that the new coach would retain him (a la Arians last year). Totally not a BS move on Horton's part.

Cleveland just bailed on the HC who they hired a year ago and who brought Horton in. makes sense he wouldn't want to be there and go where he's comfortable.

should he wait for the new head coach to fire him first?

I'm with Cheese on this one. I think he'll fail for the lack of a QB, but the Horton hire is a coup for him. He'll probably need that defense to carry his offense for quite some time.
