I would say most try to patch and go.

That's because most GMs try to sell the line of "retooling" rather than rebuilding. Most owners lack patience. Caldwell and Khan were pretty up front from the go about how it would be a long and painful rebuild.
We were bad for so long it was almost like "well what's another couple bad seasons if it ends with some really good teams"

A unique situation that likely just wouldn't work for most clubs.

Tell me about it.

Cleveland seems like they will be stuck for the forseeable future, even though their roster is developing nicely.

It is unlikely that Hue Jackson, 1-31 the last two years, will get another shot beyond this year if the team does not win.  If they fire him, whatever QB they draft this year who was groomed in this offense may have to learn another offense.  The impressive defensive nucleus they have assembled to fit a scheme may switch schemes again and lose their effectiveness.

It could prolong the process if the coaching change is too extreme.
