Since 1992, Jason Garrett has been around NFL coaches in some capacity. Whether it was playing for guys like Jimmy Johnson, Barry Switzer, Chan Gailey or Sean Payton, or working with the likes of Nick Saban, Wade Phillips and now Rob Ryan, Garrett has always been surrounded by accomplished football coaches.
