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.

      When a team has EXPECTATIONS you have to show them that your fandom and praise is EARNED.  People would be mad if the they lost two one goal competitive games like 2023 but they wouldn't have gotten booed out of the building because the effort and competitiveness would be there but to lose in THAT fashion at home with your entire top line going free lance and saying fug this yeahhh.

      Well with back to back road games to open the season again we really can't afford a "slow start" at least not for the psyche of the fanbase that is already at rock bottom from years of losing. I think that will depend on our approach to preseason this go around. But I do agree the makings of a culture change could be big for us. At the same time we heard talk of this last year and then we got the doors blown off multiple times. I can agree with you it's best to try to maintain perspective until we get closer to the midway point of the season. The main things I want to see early on even if we aren't necessarily winning is spark and toughness from the offense and defense and at least keeping games close.
