So, bottom line, what I am trying to say is, the ideal combination of HC and QB is when the HC is actually, in fact if not in name, the offensive coordinator.

Point taken.

Stated another way, you ideally want schematic continuity in the offense.

When Bill Walsh left the 49ers in 1988, they won the Super Bowl the next year and continued to be among the best in the league offensively for another decade because they ran the same offense.

Bottom line is the teams are sticking with what philosophies  has proven to work with their personnel.  It's not necessarily dependent on whether it's the HC is calling the plays, etc.  It helps, but if the schematic continuity is the same, you could have a change in the HC and still maintain success
