Howard Edward Mudd (February 10, 1942 – August 12, 2020) was an American professional football offensive lineman and coach. He retired in 1971 due to a knee injury, and began his coaching career at the University of California the following year. From 1998 to 2009, he was the offensive line coach for the Indianapolis Colts, with whom he won Super Bowl XLI. He created the silent snap count to deal with fan noise, which is now used by every NFL team. For his work as an assistant coach, Mudd earned the Pro Football Writers of America Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014.[1]
