There's a world of difference between thinking he CAN'T be a head coach and thinking he WON'T be a head coach.

Does EB have the football knowledge and skillset to be a head coach? Absolutely. Since you are asking if he deserves to be a head coach, I'm going to look at it through the viewpoint of an owner.
As owner, the only thing more important to me than winning football games is PR. Bad PR is not good for my team's image. So, while EB has the football knowledge I'm going to go ahead and look at his rap sheet and notice it includes legal issues against both a fire fighter and a female.
A decade ago, I may have overlooked those incidents. After all, who would notice something that happened so long ago? Now though, if I hire him as the head coach, I am one Brooke Pryor or Dana Wright editorial away from having to deal with a trending #MeToo issue that the media will never get over. Again, I don't like bad PR. So I'm going to take a look at the other candidate. Do they have a similar football knowledge and skillset to EB (the answer is yes)? I am hiring that guy every time.
People may not like it, but your past can stay with you FOREVER. EB is lucky, he still has earned millions and has a very good life. Not everyone gets the chances or reaches the success he already has.
