Reports: Ray Horton furious over Cardinals hiring Bruce Arians as coach

 craig.w.bryant

 Horton probably blew his next chance as a HC....isn't he the same guy who wore dog collars as a "look at me" self-promo when he was a player? Sounds like another self-assorbed ahole...

 beast He was the DC, not the OC... and that Cards defense was pretty respectable only allowing 5.2 Yards per Play (good for 12th in the league) I'm not saying he should have got the Job over Arians, I would take Arians in this situation in a heartbeat as well, but Horton did a pretty darn good job considering the eggs constantly laid by the offense at their feet.

 CZForce Wow. Your perspectives on race are extremely discomforting.

 touseyd How's that? You obviously don't comprehend what you read do you? All I said was it makes me sick that Black coaches don't get the same opportunities as others! My Wife is Black so you can take you ridiculous accusations and get a life loser! What's discomforting here are Holier than thou  people like you who try use they're lack of perception to try to insult others who are making a fair and just point! It's people like you that make white people look bad! Your a JERK!

 CZForce  touseyd Their, They're, and There

 CZForce     Your a loser and a coward and un American. Be all you can be not all you can be in with special treatments because of color. Your views are racist, so go put your obama hat on and pretend. In another three yrs when all the costs of his programs cripple the economy and asswipes like you DEMAND things that others have to work for and earn this whole house of cards will fall and hard at that.  

 CZForce I think Ray Horton only screwed it up for Ray Horton.

 And you aren't smart enough to put a sentence together.

 thinkmoremedia  joeshine730 He actually put two sentences together.  In a row.  But I had to one-up both of you and make it 4 sentences.  Guess I should be a GM somewhere.

 Sulkaman wait until the end of the 13 season and we shall see if you still bees pumped.

 luvfoozball, the problem is that not a single black was hired to be a head football coach this year.

 MichaelWallis1  luvfoozball Maybe so, but I can't imagine anyone believes that Horton threw such a fit because it represented a loss for black coaches in general.

 MichaelWallis1  How is it a "problem"?  There is a vast difference between ensuring an equal opportunity and mandating a certain outcome. 

 David2  MichaelWallis1 True, but a lack of diversity in the HC positions can still be seen as a "problem" even when we can't mandate outcomes some would find to be acceptable.

 David2  MichaelWallis1 

David2 - excellent point.  Diversity for diversity shake is hardly a worthwhile goal. In fact, it illustrates the end of a civilization.  Merit and connection to those who are responsible for making the hiring decision should be the sole criteria for landing a job. This regime that uses social obloquy and /or the force of the state to benefit certain segments of the population has got to end.

 MikeyJoe  David2  MichaelWallis1 Funny how the only segment of the population who has ever gotten ahead by using the "force of the state" is the white male, isn't it?

 MichaelWallis1  luvfoozball owners hire whom they think will give them the best chance to win--not to place first in a dumb social event.

Maybe you should read the story more carefully. It is Horton who is pissed at the GM and doesn't want to stay, or the GM who doesn't want an employee screaming at him in public. Arians has nothing to do with this. But Todd Bowles replacing Horton? He sucked at Philly...went 1-9 after he replaced the previous DC. Too bad Horton didn't want to stay on as DC.

Arians hasn't been paying attention. The ownership is the problem. They have been riding on the shoulders of the rest of the NFL since they left Chicago. They will, through the ineptness of the owner, degrade the performance of the team in unknown/ indescribeable ways to eternity. It's all about the $$$. They stumbled onto Kurt by accident and have been riding that dead horse ever since. How Fitz can keep a smiling face is beyond me.

 JackWilliams  There is nothing in this story indicating that Horton didn't want the DC gig after getting passed over.  It says above he's being fired for the Eagles chump to take the job.  Maybe you should read the story more carefully.

Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton is furious about being passed over for their head-coaching job, according to multiple reports.

 pandah462  

Excuse me, but did you read the article? Horton was screaming at the GM ( within earshot of other employees) for being passed over. This is not done by someone who wants to keep his job in a transitional front office. He obviously didn't want to keep his job - he wanted to be fired so he could collect his salary for 2013. If he quits, he gets nothing.

 JackWilliams  pandah462 You are officially an idiot. Heated does not have to be about volume. It could be word choice or tone or anything else that was never mentioned in the article just like the fact that no other employees were mentioned.

 JackWilliams  Rocket Dog No the article clearly suggest that he was going to be fired regardless so that Arians could have his way with a clean slate and his guy. He is better off somewhere else. Only Kurt Warner cold fix the Cardinals and he is retired.

 RobertM  

Now who is the idiot. Horton has not been fired though I am sure that he would like to be fired so he can get paid to get outta Dodge. He is still on staff and given permission to seek employment elsewhere. The Rams are likely his destination. BTW, there are at least three different sources about the furious argument between Horton and the GM.

 JackWilliams I am commenting on your idiocy relative to this article...the one above you freakin idiot. This article is stating that he "will be fired and replaced...". You tried to bring in things that were not in this article, the one above, and also got the article wrong via the actual details of the actual article above. You started out saying someone needed to read the article more clearly.

You are simply an idiot as YOU got the article wrong and then added things that were not even in it to make your inaccurate and wrong points..

 RobertM

 I can't help the fact that you are not well read and base everything you know on one article. And this is the wrong site to be using personal attacks against anyone who doesn't agree with your limited knowledge.

 JackWilliams  RobertM Now you are no longer just an idiot. Now you are a Jack** and an idiot to boot. Bye bye fool. I will no longer respond to your idiocy.

 JackWilliams  You're still an idiot.

 This story is almost a week old, yet you are cruising the comments with your immature responses? I think you should get a refill on your OCD medication...
