Update:
John Keim reports that the Redskins have, in fact, hired Ray Horton as their new DBs coach. However, it doesn’t sound like he’ll also serve as the team’s defensive pass game coordinator.
Grant Paulsen reports that the Redskins are offering their DBs coaching job to Ray Horton and could make him their defensive pass game coordinator as well.
Washington has been mulling changes to their defensive coaching staff and they have a vacancy at DBs coach after Torrian Gray departed for a job at Florida.
Horton, 58, began his NFL coaching career back in 1994 as an assistant for the Redskins. He’s worked for several teams over the years including the Bengals, Lions, Steelers, Cardinals and Titans before taking over as the Browns’ defensive coordinator in 2016 after they hired Hue Jackson.
The Browns hired Horton a year later.
In 2016, the Browns’ defense was No. 30 in points allowed, No. 31 in rushing yards allowed, No. 32 in passing yards allowed and No. 31 in total yards allowed under Horton.
