Horny will be joining the FIU coaching staff under former North Carolina Tar Heels and Miami Hurricanes head coach Butch Davis. Prior to landing this job with FIU as their next special teams coach, Horny was in the special teams quality control coach role with the Longhorns for four years.
He joined the Longhorns coaching staff under now former fourth-year head coach Tom Herman prior to the start of the 2017 season. Before joining the Texas coaching/support staff four years back, Horny was an assistant director of football operations under former head coaches Jim Grobe and Art Briles with the Baylor Bears.
Of course, the Internet couldn’t help itself and immediately had “Coach Horny’ trending on Twitter within minutes of FIU’s announcement.
