Summary

First-year head coaches are an unknown commodity to many, but not all, of us. Their former players certainly have insight on what they can and will look like in a leading role. Robert Mays sat down with three such players over the last few weeks to dig into what we might see from a trio of coaches making their debuts in the big job. He spoke with Blake Bortles about Broncos head coach Nate Hackett, Pierre Garcon about Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, and Pat DiMarco about Giants head coach Brian Daboll.
