saw where tim horton has been reassigned to an off field position at auburn…any one know the reason why?thought he was a solid recruiter/position coach.
Never have understood the love for Horton as RB coach - the coaches since him at RB were considerably better, at least most of them. Hard to not put RBs in the NFL when you are recruiting elite recruits.
Always have felt his last name has interfered with people’s evaluation of his skill around UA. No offense to those who know the family well as I have no reason to think they are anything but upstanding people.
Tim said in his conversation with Gus this came as a total surprise. He asked Gus why and Gus really couldn’t give him a reason. He still doesn’t know why he was reassigned.
He couldn’t count past 4, i.e., the number of games you can play and still redshirt. Someone had to be thrown under the bus for the mistake, so it was the position coach.
Which can be said about a lot of former players and alumni. Wanting to come back, and being offered the opportunity are two different things, the crux comes in the timing.
I think Gus did give Tim some reasons but they didn’t make any sense. I do not think anyone at Auburn believes him. The new coach is a minority promotion. Enough said.
