Report: Horton's OC/DC would be...

[juza76]

at this point i hope is McCoy the choice..i dont see how this kirby wilson(a running back coach)can rivatilize this anemic offense.a lot of chances horton will stay as a coordinator.. teams looking for offensive head coach

 

[football karma]

'Course it is jurblechy, so it's probably wrong. 95 percent chance.

i dunno

he is right more often than he is wrong.

Right now, somewhere, Whisenhunt is laughing his butt off!

If he is, it is on his living room couch with Mike Miller, Grimm & Bill Davis.

..... seriously what does Whiz have to laugh about?

That Horton, reportedly, wants to hire more Steelers, after all of the fans cringing and headshaking with Whis trying to make the Cardinals into Steelers West.

1. We don't know how credible Jurecki's story is.

2. Ray may not wind up being our HC.

To wring our hands and speculate - over new coaching hires that may never take place by a Cardinal HC that may never exist - seems kind of futile.

 

[Garthshort]

Disappointed that it took about five responses before I read the word cheap.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Pittsburgh same ole same ole. Ugh.

I will step back and hope it is just speculation.

 

[Reddog]

Where do you expect him to draw from? Any coach will draw from his experience and the teams he was with and Pittsburgh has been one of the most successful teams breeding a lot of great coaches. I am ok with the DC because that is Ray's forte but if true, the OC choice would cost him the opportunity to be our HC. Kirby Wilson is a great guy and may be capable of becoming a top OC but in our situation I can't see going with anyone unproven in the role.

Time to change your sig and replace Horton with McCoy or Gruden.

Why? Thats exactly what those choices amount to. They would be cheap replacements. Really cant even be argued.

 

[dogpoo32]

If this is Hortons picks then I don't want him as headcoach. Next

Agreed, is that the best he can do to inspire players and a shell-shocked fan base?

 

[GuernseyCard]

It seems that the pool of replacement coaches are either unemployed former NFL head coaches and coordinators; college coaches and position coaches deemed ready for promotion. Apart from possibly the first of the list, the cost for all others is relatively cheap.

 

[GuernseyCard]

With respect, there's no one who can speak to what may inspire players and hiring coordinators is not a PR exercise.

 

[Azlen]

Pure speculation on my part but I wouldn't be shocked if the Cards leaked that as a way to explain why they haven't offered the job to Horton by now. The offensive staff is incredibly critical given the current state of the offense and an unproven OC with a defensive minded head coach is too big of a risk.

Left to be seen who would be the coordinators under Horton, but, people panning the names out there now, were possibly saying the same when Horton, of the Pittsburgh connection, was first hired.

 

[CtCardinals78]

Here's an idea, how about we give these guys a chance if they are the selections?

Now there's a novel idea!

 

[bg7brd]

It couldn't possibly be that Ray Horton knows these guys and feels strongly that they would be great coordinators if given the chance.

 

[HoodieBets]

How many chances do we give the team. We cant just have blind faith throw the spaghetti against the wall and hope it sticks. They know the fan base will not be happy with these moves and they know they need a great offensive mind here. Im also fed up with the steelers crap so does this mean we just keep getting more of their old players? We need a fresh start and a new mindset. This is Whiz system, Whiz was Kirbys boss hard to imagine the offense he would want to do would be much different.

I find it interesting that Jurecki throws these names out there yet no one else, either locally or nationally, jumps on the story.

Makes one wonder.

I dont remember which thread it was but about a week ago I brought up Kirby as being the logical choice as he was the only coach still there from when Horton was there. These choices seem to be in line though and does any national media care about potential cardinals coordinators if Horton gets hired? I doubt it. Might get some run in Pitt but thats about it.

 

[Shane]

Well duh. Still cheap options. Anyway you wanna slice it.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Really..... What more could we expect? A first time coach will not be able to attract a coordinator with much experience. UNLESS you overpay.

Have we know the Bidwells to overpay for coordinators?

 

[Reddog]

Well duh. Still cheap options. Anyway you wanna slice it.

Dude the "cheap" line of thinking is playing such old tapes. I am sure Bidwill is not asking for cheap solutions just winning solutions. If these names are real, Horton is pulling up names on his own not because they will be cheap. In fact it may be to his detriment so I doubt his strategy is "I will get me some cheap coordinators and that will surely get me the job.".
