Three coaches have coached three HOF QBs in their lifetimes. Name them.

As a head coach, or just coaching in general?
If if is the latter, Mike Shanahan would have to be one of them, as he coached Montana and Young in SF, and Elway in Denver.
Edit: Okay, just reread the title. Ignore this.

Okay, Don Shula has to be one of them (Unitas, Griese and Marino).

conzelman, driscoll, luckman

I didn't consider Conzelman or Driscoll as QBs, since they didn't really pass the ball. But the HOF website lists them as QBs, so I won't really argue. Pre-modern era players can be tough to gauge.Halas was one of the guys I was thinking of, but Blanda (a guy who arguably isn't in the HOF based on his play as a QB alone) and Bobby Layne were the guys I was thinking of in addition to Luckman.

Walsh never coached Elway.

Shula-Unitas-Griese-Marino is correct.

Hmm, you're right; Walsh recruited him, but took the Niners job the year that Elway arrived.

It appears that Buck Shaw coached Tittle with the Niners('50-'53), Jurgensen('58-'60)and Van Brocklin(also '58-'60) with the Eagles.

Joe Stydahar -- who is himself in the HOF as a LT for Halas' Bears -- was the coach. He later coached the Cardinals and Charley Trippi who is in the HOF and played some QB but was mostly a runner. He's in the HOF as a running back and he wasn't a QB when Stydahar coached, so I personally wouldn't count him.

Tittle and Ewbank never crossed paths. Tittle played for the "old" Baltimore Colts, but not the Weeb Ewbank Colts. More on that topic, generally, here.

Ok unitas finished his career in san diego on the same roster as Dan Fouts. Who was the coach? Sid Gillman? Who else did he coach?
Chase Stuart
Footballguy
Gillman coached NVB and SD for a lot of years, but he left in '71. Fouts and Unitas both came to SD in 1973, where the team had as many wins as HOF QBs. They went through two HCs, too: Harland Svare and Ron Waller. Waller never coached again while Svare coached Roman Gabriel and the Rams in the '60s. Gabriel's got a good HOF case, but he's not yet in.
