Coaching career
He began his coaching career the same place he began his collegiate playing career, Cerritos College. He coached there for 2 season before moving onto Los Angeles Valley College. From there he went back to Cerritos College as an assistant before eventually becoming the head coach. He was later hired by his former coach, Augie Garrido, to be an assistant at Cal State Fullerton. When Garrido left in 1996, Horton was hired to replace him.
In 2004, Horton would face off against his old boss in the 2004 College World Series championship series. The Fullerton Titans won the series and the national championship.
In September 2007, Horton was named the head coach of the University of Oregon, which reinstated its baseball program starting in the 2009 season after being a club sport since 1982.[cite web|url=http://www.oregonlive.com/sports/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/sports/1188618910238860.xml&coll=7| title=Horton to coach in Eugene|date=September 1 2007|accessdate=2007-09-01|last=Hunt|first=John|work=The Oregonian] ]References
