When does a new coach stick with the old QB

I caused a stir by raising this question at another website. So, I may as well cause a stir here.

When has a coach come into a franchise, who is NEW to the franchise (no in-house promotions), and where the franchise is in a full rebuild mode, and not replaced the QB within a year?

Charlie Weis taking over as Offensive Coordinator in KC and keeping Matt Cassel?

I don't think Dungy replaced the starter when he went to the Colts.

It usually happens when there are established QBs (i.e. Jimmy Johnson taking over the Dolphins and telling Dan Marino "you're number one" or Norv Turner assuming the reins and keeping Philip Rivers).

Also been known to happen when someone takes over a team that just used a high pick on a QB (our situation, and as bolt mentioned with the Chargers in 2002) although the coach might bring in his own veteran guy as a backup/mentor/insurance policy.

Marty with Brees in 02.

Neither the Chargers nor the Dolphins were rebuilding. That's a key part of the question.

Whether it happens with us depends a lot on the next 11 games.

If Fox reinserts Moore at some point, or if something happens that puts Pike up there, if for whatever reason we have a full blown QB controversy or if it just turns out that nobody looks that good, then expect a new starter.

My personal feeling: We'll stick with Clausen, but anything can happen.

How many stipulations does that question have? You're trying to narrow a question down until it is so narrow, people can't help but to agree.

When was the last time a team was truly in re-build mode? I wouldn't even classify us in a re-build mode, we're in a "save money now so we won't get fug if there's a lock-out next year" mode.

    • Well yeah. Last time vs NO if we had had good QB play and half ass pass pro it is a different game. And that is the story more often, in point of fact, than the two or three hero games everyone wants to use to define the player.  That box was so stacked against the run it was basically impossible to break through it, you had to go over and around. It is what we knew was gonna be employed by teams and we were unable to stop them from doing it.    I am real interested to see the first 3rd and 8 and see how NO defenses it in the back end. Because they can look at that Rams tape and learn, but will they have enough fear/respect that it can happen to them or will we need to prove it again before they do?   Most people don’t learn from others’ mistakes and  need to make their own. 
    • I like that Tillis is so down to earth  we will see where it goes ill say something controversial on a day that, along with next week, determines the panthers 2025  and 2026 fate  he referenced ‘money ball’, statistics and self scouting multiple times. it really makes me feel that Bryce will be back regardless of what happens over the next 4 games as that is the smart move for financial stability but by no means does that guarantee Bryce anything past that.  They will improve year over year regardless of position or who is affected       however, they will do the appropriate diligence and not cut off their nose to spite their face….it won’t be an emotional decision…unlike us Huddlers….for example, if Young’s happy ass shits the bed today, I’ll be less than pleased ..particularly having seen what they will do and having a bye week.  Brandon Staley is a good defensive coordinator and former HC.  His defense is aging but he can still develop a good game plan
