Like other professionals, there are different elements to coaching that some excel at and others they don't.
Coaching isn't inspiring people. It's not x's and o's, and it's not personnel management, time management or practice malarkey. It's all of those things.
Hartley was the perfect coach for the initial stage of a rebuild: work ethic and setting expectations. He's awful at the next stage as evidenced by line selection and game planning.
Because he's good at one thing doesn't preclude being bad at another
