In most instances, an NFL Head Coach is more of a CEO than a "hands on, nitty gritty" coach. In addition to a large coaching staff, they have a minimum of 70 guys at all times to manage while also working with the GM, scouts and club president.
Now, I'm not stating that they don't have any input on scheme or game planning but they have their hands in every aspect of the football team, from scheduling and planning to routine meetings with ownership. The head coach needs to have great "People Skills" or the team will fail because no one wants to work for an asshole.
Smart teams perform Due Diligence before handing over the keys of their franchise to someone they're going to pay $6-8 million per year over 4 years, so it's understandable that if a guy doesn't "Check every box", they pass on him.
