Only one NFL quarterback-coach combo has been together longer than the Seahawks' Matt Hasselbeck and Mike Holmgren. Donovan McNabb and coach Andy Reid came to the Philadelphia Eagles in 1999, two years before Hasselbeck's first start for the Seahawks.
Only five quarterbacks expected to be starters this season have played at least five seasons with their current head coach:
