Great and Not so Great Coach/QB combinations
-
We are probably all aware of some of the greatest Coach/QB combinations in history:
Shula/Marino
Paul Brown/Otto Graham
Vince Lombardi/Bart Starr
Noll/Bradshaw
Walsh/Montana
Belichick/Brady
George Halas/Sid Luckman
Tom Landry/Roger Staubach
Any others?
But now, we likely have the opposite side of the coin. We may have THE worst Coach/QB combination in league history
Does anyone know of some of the really horrible Coach/QB combinations in history? I guess that we can look at the expansion Tampa Bay Bucs. John McVay and Steve Spurrier went 0-12 that year. (Spurrier did not last...he was gone the next year)
Who else here?

Here is a note: Hue Jackson is listed as only having the 76th worse record in NFL history.....being saved by his 8-8 record with the Raiders.

Of recent vintage......Marty Morningwheg actually has a worse overall record than Hue....at 5-27. Though that is also the exact record of Chris Palmer.
A couple of guys actually lost at least 10 games in their careers, and never won any: Fay Abbott, and Jim Crowley.
Also note....the guy with the worst record ever, but who actually won a playoff game was John McVay.....HC of those Buccaneers.

Was Mike Shula/David Klingler a thing for Cincinnati?
