The resume is solid...no doubt...(I'll post it below from dc.com), however someone tell me why Hudson Houck avoids any blame and/or responsibility in the overall scheme of things?
He (and his unit) may turn out to be the single BIGGEST key to the season.
Garrett gets blame (and yes I am just like you all with him), but he did improve.
Wade...probbaly one of the top defensive minds in the game (minus tha one quote about we wanted to make Tom Brady beat us...what????)
We whack Special Teams and DC's when they don't produce (granted a year too late), by why is there not a CRY FOR HUDSON TO GET THIS GROUP TO PLAY AT AN ELITE LEVEL?
Just wondering...
RESUME/HIGHLIGHTS-
"Hudson Houck returned to Dallas in 2008 as one of the most experienced and respected offensive line coaches in the NFL. In his previous tour of duty with the Cowboys (1993-2001), Houck was a productive member of a coaching staff that helped bring Super Bowl titles to Dallas following the 1993 and 1995 seasons.
Much in the same manner that he tutored an all-star cast of offensive linemen in Dallas in the mid-1990s, Houck will again oversee a group that is considered one of the league's most talented and complete. All five starters return from last year's club that helped produce a 9-7 record with hopes of finding consistency at the left guard position. In 2008 starter Kyle Kosier missed most of the season with a foot injury while Cory Procter and Montrae Holland filled in. Flozell Adams, Andre Gurode, Leonard Davis and Marc Colombo started every game along the line with Adams, Gurode and Davis each earning Pro Bowl berths.
In addition to being reunited with Adams, a player Dallas drafted in 1998 while Houck was the Cowboys offensive line coach, he is also serving on the same coaching staff with Wade Phillips for the second time as both men were assistant coaches under Marty Schottenheimer in San Diego in 2004.
Hired by Dallas on January 18, 2008, Houck spent the previous three seasons in a rebuilding process as the offensive line coach for the Miami Dolphins.
In 2005 and 2006 he directed a Dolphins line that helped produce a team rushing average of 4.0-or-better in both seasons, marking the first time since the 1986 and 1987 campaigns that Miami had topped the 4.0-yard plateau in consecutive years. Immediately after taking charge of the line in 2005, Houck produced a unit that ranked fourth in the NFL in sacks allowed with 26 - a figure that was half the total permitted by the club in the season before his arrival.
With the Chargers in 2004, Houck helped to revitalize an offensive line which featured five new starters from the previous year. The Chargers ranked 10th in the NFL in total offense, and sixth on the ground, as they rushed for 136.6 yards-per-contest. LaDainian Tomlinson ran for more than 1,300 yards in each of Houck's three years there, including more than 1,600 in his first two. The Chargers line permitted just 21 sacks in 2004, the fourth-lowest total in the NFL and the eighth-fewest in that franchise's 45-year history. Overall in Houck's three seasons with the Chargers, the offensive line allowed an average of only 24.6 sacks-per-season. Their total of 74 sacks over a three-year period was the fourth-lowest in the NFL over this stretch. "
