Before Jason Garrett became head coach, he was second in command to Wade Phillips. Now Garrett's own assistant head coach is new receivers coach Jimmy Robinson, who received a title promotion in leaving his previous post as Packers receivers coach.
What exactly do those duties entail under Garrett?
"I kind of view it as an opportunity to provide some kind of ideas on different ways of doing things, maybe structurally," Robinson said. "I think that's more for Jason (to describe) than it is for me, but I think after all these years of being in the league and different ways of doing things -- (had) different coaching influences, a lot of different head coaches, a lot of great ones and really good people."
Basically, Robinson -- an NFL assistant for 22 years who coached the Giants' receivers when Garrett was winding down his playing career in New York a decade ago -- can be a sounding board for the new coach.
Garrett will have his way of running things. Last season he obviously changed structure in the Cowboys' weekly routine -- pads Wednesdays, new practice times, things he didn't have authority to do with Phillips in charge -- but he's known to be a good listener. Robinson will be another set of eyes for him, particularly with Garrett so involved in the weekly offensive game plan.
