I'm not suggest your force a coach on the GM.
I'm suggesting the GM and head coach should be peers and work hand-in-hand.
To take your analogy further, Clark Hunt is the CEO. The GM is the CTO and the coach is the COO. The CTO creates the vision and acquires the "technical" pieces to accomplish the organizational vision. The COO carries out the plan and manages the operation. They're peers, independent and interdependent at the same time.
