Which pretty much can be counter-acted by who was hired as defensive line coach by Wade... Also, all signs are pointing to Wade hiring the LB coach he worked with at San Diego... Nobody can tell me, based upon track record, that the position coach hirings are in any way bad...

The only real track record going is the Dallas Cowboys ORGANIZATION is hiring coaches based upon who they think will work well in the organization, based upon some tangible evidence..

Well put.

Solari is well versed in Garrett's offense. His best years were under Al Saunders, who ran the Air Coryell offense. Solari even played directly under Coryell at San Diego State.

And your point is? Solari is out of the picture...but, carry on nontheless.

But is he as well versed as Houck is?

Houck's best years were better than Solari's imo.

The point is that there weren't any philosophical differences in Garrett's offense and Solari's background, despite that some people keep insisting that there is. If Wade wanted to bring in Solari, he should have been brought in. End of Story. Yes, there might be logical times when an owner/GM might need to use the trump card for the long term success of the ball club, but this isn't one of those times. There was nothing outlandish about Wade wanting to bring in Solari.

Yes, but...

Hudson Houck was the offensive line coach when Jason Garrett was here. The choice of Houck was obvious for this offense. There isn't going to be any loss of continuity.

And Houck's best years are pretty much wherever he went...

And yet no one knows if that is the case. It has been speculated but that is about it. It was also speculated that BP and Jerry could never work together that was pretty much false as well. This is a great time for Jerry's critics because you don't need to prove anything rumor is good enough. Not saying that you believe these rumors.

Does anyone still see any reason for this news to have leaked? What good does it do Wade to tell everyone he didn't get the coach he wanted? Why, if this is true, did Wade seem so upbeat about bringing in Hudson?

It still feels way too much like a great way to rip Jerry and continue to manufacture a rift between Garrett and Wade that doesn't seem to exist.

 

[InmanRoshi]

YHudson Houck was the offensive line coach when Jason Garrett was here.

Which brings up the valid question of whether Wade is really the head coach who gets the say of his entire staff, or if he's just a glorified defensive coordinator who gets to do press conferences.

Yeah, this whole Solari issue is based on one writer's second hand information (from two sources, but second hand nonetheless)

Moseley could be correct, he could be mistaken. Nobody knows.

Wade likely isn't the one who leaked it, and what do you expect from a Jerry press conference? Jimmy and Jerry practically made out in their final press conference together.

Your logic is flawed because your assumption is that one is only a head coach when one gets the say of HIS ENTIRE staff...

If that is the case, than surely Tony Sparano must be a gklorified "fill in the blank"....

Does your condition of being a head coach also include the head coach having a say in all the play-calling as well?

Or Wade could of deferred to Jason becasue Jason felt he could work with Houck better.

It's Garrett's offense for all intents and purposes. He is Wade's assistant head coach. It's highly probable he has some input into the offensive staff.

The only valid question for a fan should be:

Is the choice of Houck a good choice?

How can David Lee and Tony Sparano coexist?


Only time will tell....

I'd just really like to know who is doing the talking because I can't see any good coming out of this information being passed around, can you?

The person who is saying this obviously doesn't care about what is best for Wade, Jerry, or the Cowboys? So remind me again who this person is?

You would think so...

Where was the continuity between Garrett and Sparano last year, especially as it concerned run-blocking? You would think that this may have been a fundamental issue on Jason's mind, when the offensive line simply folded in the second half of the play-offs...

Our offensive line couldn't create any holes, despite their size... Jason was going one way, and Tony obviously was going somewhere else...

They hired Houck incredibly quick, and even Wade was announcing that moves were being made, and to expect some coaching news.

The fact is, the quickness of the move dispels any notion that there was some 'resistance' in Valley Ranch around this hire..

Seriously, this is Hudson 'freakin' Houck we are talking about... the guy has the most incredible resume on thise side of the freakin' galazy when it comes to coaching the offensive line...

What about the concept of "everyone working togeather"? Why does it HAVE TO BE THE HC calling all the moves? That would be a dictatorship...!

Two minds are greater than one...and three or four are even better.

Come on, InmanRoshi, your smarter than that, right? Right?

under your reasoning, Holmgren, Reid and Shanahan are all just glorified OCs who get to do pressers.

Im sorry but I have a hard time believing that Wade would be agianst bringing in Houck. He may have prefered Solari but that doesnt mean he was against Houck.

I bet you listen to Galloway's show every day.
