Houck doesn't mind 'hooking his wagon' to Garrett

Veteran offensive line coach Hudson Houck knows what attracts assistant coaches to certain teams.
A piece of advice he received early in his career still rings true 27 years later.
"You want to hook your wagon to a guy you think is going to be a winner," Houck said.
And Houck believes the Dallas Cowboys will be a winner under Jason Garrett. He has been around Garrett long enough to make that prediction, too.
Houck's initial stint with the Cowboys lasted from 1993-2001, and Garrett was on the team from 1993-99. Then, the two were on the Miami Dolphins' coaching staff together from 2005-06. Houck was offensive line coach, and Garrett was quarterbacks coach. And in 2008, Houck rejoined the Cowboys' coaching staff after Garrett had come on board in 2007.
The Star-Telegram met with Houck earlier this off-season before the lockout to talk about topics ranging from Garrett to developing young offensive lineman.
