Coming off a 12-win season with a conference championship and a NY6 bowl win, most coaches probably would not seriously entertain the idea of changing quarterbacks, particularly going into year 3 as a head coach at any level. Sure, everyone says they’re having an open QB competition pretty much every year, but most coaches don’t actually do it. And if they did it, given the issues surrounding roster management, most coaches might string an announcement about the decision out into the summer and possibly even the fall to try to keep the loser (of the QB competition) from transferring out.
