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.

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.

      Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.

      Didnt Canales already say starters are playing in the pre season? either way extra reps dont hurt but im not one of those people that think playing in the pre season would have saved Bryce from an awful start.

      very helpful.  I read back in this thread where they might try Jarvis at C--I thought he and Aho had good chemistry, however.  Nonetheless, he could expand his value there, and now we have a guy who can play jarvis' spot.  Freddie is a pro, no doubt--and as little as I know about the inner workings of strategy and positions, I could tell Burns was burning us at times.  I figured he'd retire and I was looking forward to it.  FWIW, they have Jarvis listed as a C on the 2025-26 roster.
