On the other hand, at some point doesn't he have to get in some sort of trouble over the fact that all of his guys that get brought in to be coaches/coordinators (with maybe the exception of Pees based on some real personnel challenges) have been whopping failures? A head coach who continually makes bad decisions w/r/t his coaching staff because he's looking out for his friends first and foremost is a huge liability for a team.
