Harbaugh is an amazing coach doesn't have an ounce of dignity. Bill Snyder is an amazing coach and isn't results oriented at all, he's entirely focused on the process.
Coaching in all team sports at all levels is made up of 3 parts:
5% Tactics; specific coaching techniques, "systems", play calling, S&C regiment, film study etc
5% Organization; efficiently running practice to maximize time, efficiently recruiting to maximize time, etc
90% of it is CHEMISTRY. Everyone must be on the same page, everyone must be fully invested, everyone must be willing to sacrifice for the greater good of the team. Coaches don't develop players, players develop players. Players don't play hard for a coach they play hard for each other. Chemistry is the reason great coaches keep winning and mediocre coaches stay mediocre. When it comes to recruiting you pretty much have to get it right from the beginning. Great chemistry attracts great players who are great fits and will add to the chemistry, bad chemistry attracts players who are selfish and toxic to the chemistry. Ditto for the coaching staff you usually have to get it right from the beginning, great assistants are attracted by a great chemistry.
Chemistry is also the most fragile because it only takes a few bad seeds to weasel there way in and ruin it.
