Through the years, many NFL quarterbacks have become head coaches in the league, ranging from Hall of Fame QB Norm Van Brocklin (Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Falcons) to Gary Kubiak, the Super Bowl-winning coach of the Denver Broncos.. Of the 32 NFL head coaches in 2016, only Kubiak and Jason Garrett of the Dallas Cowboys were once were quarterbacks in the league. Kubiak was John Elway's backup with the Denver Broncos from 1983 to 1991. Garrett played behind Troy Aikman with the Cowboys from 1993 to 1999. Kubiak stepped down from the Denver post for health -related reasons after the 2016 regular season.
