The Redskins finally were able to hire a new coach on the defensive side of the ball to help out with some of their departures. After the team and Torrian Gray parted ways, they elected to hire Ray Horton to replace him. Horton, a former NFL defensive back, comes to the team with over 20 years of NFL coaching experience, including a stint in Washington from 1994-1996. Horton has a solid resume and should do a good job in this role. However, he shouldn’t be seen as any sort of major upgrade.
Horton seems likely to pair with Greg Manusky this season and operate in tandem to plan the defense.
