FRISCO -- Jason Garrett issued a statement when offensive line coach Paul Alexander was fired Monday.
He answered questions for the first time Thursday morning at his news conference.
"Every decision we make, we make in the best interest of the entire Dallas Cowboys football team,'' Garrett said. "We just felt after we analyzed where we were, we felt like that decision would help our football team.
"We felt like we had a good solution in giving Marc Colombo the opportunity to be the main line coach and the opportunity to bring Hudson Houck back, who has been with us before, I know him well, this organization knows him well, and we felt like him and Marc working together would allow us to create the type of environment for the offensive line where they could be their best.
