When the Dallas Cowboys (3-4) return from the bye for practice on Wednesday, they will have a new man heading the disappointing offensive line.
The team announced the firing of offensive line coach Paul Alexander and the promotion of top assistant Marc Colombo into the lead position.
Former long-time offensive line coach Hudson Houck will be brought back in an advisory role to work with Colombo and the offensive staff.
“While approaching the midpoint of the season, and going through an overall evaluation of our entire operation during the bye week, we felt that this move would serve the best interests of our team moving forward,” coach Jason Garrett said in a statement released by the team.
