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

BY DREW DAVISON

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.

I've been impressed with Garrett thus far... Let's wait until the season starts to see how it all plays out though.

With Garrett and Ryan in place, the future looks far more promising than it might have been with last year's coaching setup. Hopefully, it's not just a mirage.

The real question is whether Houck will be a proverbial flat tire on Garrett's wagon or not,,, we already know that Campo will be the spare,,,,
