A head coach no longer needs to be able to 'coach', they need to manage. Making the right decisions regards players when they make mistakes, sorting out the in game decisions.

Needs to have connections with coaches who are proven to be excellent coaches, and can get the best out of their players.

A head coach will only succeed in my opinion with a good scouting department, you can have the greatest coaches, who get the best out of their abilities, but you need to have high quality players to begin with, who you can then maximize their talents.

This is 100% correct.

A good HC has a vision but hires the right OC and DC to execute that and let's them do their job. The HC is the CEO, they manage the operations and make the high level decisions.
