I think you may be expecting too much from a HC candidate. Not many coaches have perfect credentials before becoming successful as HC. Just for a point of reference:

Bill Bellichick - 36-44 as Cleveland's HC

Tom Coughlin - 60-68 (19-29 in last three years) as JAX HC

Sean Payton - had play calling responsibilities taken away from him by Jim Fassel in 2002 after several poor offensive showings; then he was assistant HC to Parcells in Dallas with a record of (25-23) and Offensive Rank in points of (21, 25, 15)

John Harbaugh - Eagles ST coach for 9 years , then DB coach for 1 . . . That's it?

Mike Tomlin- very successful as DB coach of TB from 2001-2005, then was Vikings DC where his defense ranked 8th overall, 1st against the Run, and last against the Pass,

So, yeah, most of these guys did some awesome stuff that I didn't mention, but the point is, not everyone has stellar credentials and everyone has some blemishes on their record.
