It isn't a law or something, but it often does happen.
Doug Pederson = Carson Wentz
Matt Nagy = Mitch Trubisky
Mike Pettine = Johnny Manziel
Mike Zimmer = Teddy Bridgewater
Doug Marrone = EJ Manuel
Chuck Pagano = Andrew Luck
Joe Philbin = Ryan Tannehill (Zac Taylor was part of this staff)
Ron Rivera = Cam Newton
Mike Munchak = Jake Locker
Leslie Frazier = Christian Ponder
Steve Wilks = Josh Rosen
Out of 25 first round QB's drafted since 2011, 10 were taken by new regimes (40%). Now it'd be silly to say new regime automatically = new QB. There are too many variables. How does the new coach feel about the current QB? Where are you drafting? How many QB's are 1st round talents? For example, there were 8 new regimes in 2013, but only 1 QB (EJ Manuel) was taken in round 1.
I think it's fair to say a new regime increases the odds that you'll at least consider a new QB, but Walter basing his mock of Drew Lock entirely on the regime change is kinda silly.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
