Same. It's how we got Nutt, JLS, and Pittman.

Tim was one of the best recruiters the Hogs have ever had. That is less of a selling point in the portal era but he and Harold (RIP) still have a wide network of relationships with important people in the state which could help with fundraising.

I haven't kept up with his recent career but, as a RB coach at Arkansas and Auburn, he has a long list of Doak Walker, All-American, All-SEC and SEC rushing leader players under his tutelage.

The main reason is that he is a former Wampus Cat which, of course, makes him superior to all other forms of life.  8)

One of the best recruiters? Based on what? Our classes sucked when he was the recruiting coordinator. The first two classes with Petrino were not his doing they were coming to play in Bobby's offense.

Horton did a lot of the work holding that first class together, and convincing Bobby to offer some of the guys Nutt didn't (Wilson, Dennis Johnson, etc).  Other than that, yeah.
Perish peacefully in a warm environment.

You are not a Wampus Cat; your argument is invalid.   ::)

Although not a Wampus Cat, there is iron in your words.  :chad

Quote from: DirkPiggler on Dec 07, 2025, 08:25 AMChad Lunsford, formerly of Auburn and former Georgia Southern head coach, will be our special teams coordinator. 

I like this dude!  He was at Georgia Southern and was fairly successful there until the year they fired him.  The rumor is that they fired him because one of his players was filmed shotgunning a beer while standing on top of a moving bus.

They should have given him a raise.  That's a feat that takes some special coordination.

I remember seeing the video but can't find it now. It was quite spectacular.

Ah, but his roots go back to Arkansas County.  His father was one of several Hortons from DeWitt.  I think there are some still there.
Apparently retarded member of the "fucking old people" crowd as defined by Swahili Steve.

Some called him Coach Cape.

There isn't a single coach on the staff that I've heard of and the only thing going for us is we haven't done well with staff we have heard of so there's that.
