"Its who you know, Not what you know" is a popular saying for a reason. It happens in every job market in the world.
DeMeco Ryan's is a perfect example his meteoric rise from defensive quality control to HC. Ryan's played in Houston in around 2010 the same time Kyle Shanahan and Robert Saleh were coaching there (Saleh might have been the linebackers coach I think.) In 2017 when Shanahan took the SanFran job he hired Saleh and gave Ryan's his first coaching opportunity.
