Ray has never had a chance to really build a defense.
He was DC only in Arizona one year ('12). The defense finished 12th in yards allowed, 5th in passing yards, and 4th in take aways. But when Whisenhunt got fired after that season Ariens brought in anew staff.
He was hired as DC in Cleveland in '13 and the defense finished 9th in yards allowed. BUt again the head coach (Chudzinski) was fired and Horton was out.
He was then hired as DC for the Titans and in his second season ('15) they finished 12th in yards allowed and 7th in passing yards allowed. But again the head coach got fired and Horton was out of a job.
The defense improves everywhere he goes. Buut he keeps losing his job because the head coach he works under gets fired. All he needs is an owner like MIke Brown who will give him 15 years to produce.
