Jason Garrett was finally given the title of offensive coordinator with the Dallas Cowboys nearly a month after being hired.

New coach Wade Phillips also elevated Tony Sparano to assistant head coach with a contract extension through 2009.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones hired the 40-year-old Garrett to the coaching staff Jan. 25 after interviewing him for the head-coaching vacancy. It had been expected since then that Garrett would be the offensive coordinator, even though his only coaching experience was the past two seasons as quarterbacks coach in Miami.
