Tim Horton to AU

[DyeHardAllTheWay 0]

Pete Roussel claims that Bielema is about to hire Washington's RB coach.

Horton hears a Who?

[vandyvoot 8]

Would be another huge hire if it happens.

[AUbritt 611]

Sounds promising.

How does Bielema hiring a RB coach get us anything?

My guess is that people are thinking if Arkansas hires a RB coach then Horton would be the odd man out. Unless he wanted to coach TEs/WRs.

Paraphrasing: EDW is saying Larry Porter may also be in contention. Smurphy tweeted he thought it would be a good hire(recruiting and such).

I don't know either of these guys. The only RB coaches I know are Luper and Gran(see a pattern?). I would be concerned if Bielema didn't want Horton to coach his RBs but then Auburn goes and hires him. If he was such a good coach then wouldn't Ark want him? Different schemes not withstanding?

On Dec 23 Arkansas Democrat Gazette stated that Bielema had hired a RB coach that would be made public after bowl games. So I suppose Coach Tim Horton could be a possibility if he is not considering another position at Arkansas. I believe he is Recruiting Coordinator as well as RB coach.

Horton or Porter would be great pick ups. Porter was a recruiting beast at LSU.

FYI ...

Per Bruce Feldman Tweet @BFeldmanCBS

Washington RB coach Joel Thomas is becoming the new Arkansas RB coach.

From a recruiting and coaching stand point, Porter would be a fantastic hire. He was Rivals Recruiter of the Year in 2007.

Another option may be that Bielema believes/knows him to be gone and is moving to replace him.

Porter also knows the landscape of Memphis recruiting. Not an easy thing to understand.'

DAH! Beat me to it. I have no idea what this thread is about. All I have read is about Arkansas hiring some RB coach.

[TIGGR82 4]

I think I might prefer Porter over Horton.

We need to stay out of Memphis when it comes to recruiting.

Possibly. I don't understand why a school would wait to announce him as their RB coach though. Arky is not in a bowl or anything like that.

[blueridge 29]

Horton is an accomplished coach and recruiter. Bielema should keep him as an assistant coach, but it looks like he is not too keen on keeping the Petrino/Smith staff around. Arky's loss will be Auburn's gain.

[au_bsci_04 407]

Sounds similar to us. There were coaches that were not the issue that Gus did not retain, simply to distance the future from the past.

[WarDamnEagleWDE 12,737]

Horton would be a homerun hire for AU. Guy can coach and recruit. Hell of a RB coach.

[brad5628AU 35]

Wonder if this will be able to bring in Hunter Henry.

I never have heard the ncaa investigate mr. horton. There lies the difference.

What coaches on previous staff were investigated by the NCAA?

Trooper and I think either Luper or Thigpen.
