As a first time head coach, Jeff Hafley's first two seasons included more than a few new events for his coaching career. There was his first practice, his first game and his first win, but joining Boston College included different firsts no coach likely experienced.

He was a trained football specialist, but his first two years included a return to normal from a world that was anything but regular.
