Listening to John Clayton talk to Howard Mudd on SCHOOLED got me really interested in Mudd, Offensive Line Coaching and the history. Thinking about getting his book, but here are links to several article about and by him.
For years I've enjoyed reading "Word of Muth" and Ben gives his review of the book
Mudd was not only Walter Jones’ first position coach with the Seattle Seahawks, he touted the left tackle to his bosses as better than Orlando Pace, the first overall pick in that 1997 draft. The Seahawks took Jones sixth overall.
When Jones was voted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2014, Mudd drove his motorcycle from Arizona to Canton to witness the induction ceremony. That’s Howard Mudd.
Jones easily was the best offensive lineman Mudd coached. But Mudd took immense pride in molding five ordinary players into tightly-knit units that played greater than the sum of their parts.

Howard Mudd is the Dean of the Offensive Line

Legendary offensive lineman and NFL O-Line coach Howard Mudd knows what he’s talking about .. so much so that he’s written a book on the position. As a former center, Newy couldn’t get enough of this conversation, which ended up one of the better spots we’ve had in a long time.

It was my pleasure to welcome Howard Mudd onto our podcast as a guest. This is a very long edition of the Locked on Jets podcast. Howard covers a tremendous amount of ground talking about his feelings on Bowles, offensive line technique, the scouting Combine, and so much more. I wasn't expecting it to go on for so long, but Howard was so engaging with so much information that I wanted to continue as long as he was willing to talk.

Howard Mudd says coaches, CBA rules are at fault for poor OL play, not college spread offenses
However, Mudd isn’t critical of the talent entering the league from college like others have been. For instance, Seahawks offensive line coach Tom Cable has blamed the proliferation of spread offenses in college for not being able to prepare collegiate offensive linemen for the pro game.
“I’m not wanting to offend anybody, but college football, offensively, has gotten to be really, really bad fundamentally,” Cable said last May on 710 ESPN in Seattle. “Unfortunately, I think we’re doing a huge disservice to offensive football players, other than a receiver, that come out of these spread systems. “The runners aren’t as good. They aren’t taught how to run. The blockers aren’t as good. The quarterbacks aren’t as good. They don’t know how to read coverage and throw progressions. They have no idea.”

Book Review: View from the O-Line
by Ben Muth
If you have been following the site recently you have probably seen a couple of posts pertaining to Howard Mudd and Richard Lister's new book The View From The O-Line: Football According to Offensive Linemen and an Uncommon Coach. We had a podcast with Coach Mudd two weeks ago, and we ran an excerpt of the book last week. This review is the last piece of content related to the book on this site.

Why Your Favorite QB is Suffering
QBs are suffering in the NFL. They’ll continue to deteriorate if nothing is done to get them protected better. For someone to say they’re going to change the offensive philosophy to run the ball more and therefore put the QB at less risk is pure garbage. At some point that team will end up with 3rd down and will be required to drop back and throw. It’s a hard job to have to pass block under those circumstances even if you practice how to pass pro.
