Why was Steve Spagnuolo such an unsuccessful head coach? (alien.top)

I’ve only been watching the NFL for a few years, but I’ve been nothing but impressed by Spags’ defenses. Especially 2022, when most of his squad was replaced by rookies. What specifically made him such a bad head coach?

The Peter Principle. In management, people will keep rising until they reach a level of incompetence. He has the skills and experience to be a very good defensive coordinator, but he does not have the competencies to be a good head coach. I know people's egos don't like to accept this, but it's as simple as that. Not everyone can be a great head coach.
