For Gotsis, Fangio is his third head coach in his four seasons as a Bronco. The same goes for Justin Simmons. But Fangio and his no-nonsense attitude is clearly different than any coach they've had before.

"It's tough to get a read on him," safety Justin Simmons said. "You typically can read someone's facial expressions or body demeanor. He's just like that plain jane grey outfit he wears 24/7, you can't tell what he's thinking."
