You're describing the ****ing peter principle, TC.
Reread this whole sequence, and do better.

You are aware that the peter principle was written as satire, no? And now it's typically referenced in organizational culture and management classes in relation to promotions within a certain employer rather than laterally? And it's based on employees who are promoted based on general progress rather than their skills best suited to the next role?
The Chiefs had their pick of anyone when they hired Haley and Pioli. Internal. External. Whatever. They didn't just get hired by the Chiefs because the Chiefs had some feeder program from the Cardinals and Patriots. The fact that they both turned out to be varying levels of mediocre/incompetent is meaningless. Had the Chiefs hired Belichick away from the Patriots at that point, you could've claimed some level of the peter principle if he didn't win a Super Bowl every season.
But since this is about EB, let's discuss him. He's been our OC since 2018. You and Clay have decided that he's incompetent and not well-suited to the role. The Chiefs have been under no obligation whatsoever to keep him over the last several years. But they have. So maybe, just maybe they feel different about him than you perceive. On the other hand, the rest of the NFL doesn't think he is good enough to be an NFL head coach. So he stays in his current role. This is how a meritocracy works.
But please, let's just use satire to try and back up ALL of our arguments.
What's amazing to me is had the Chiefs beaten the Bengals, none of you would be spending any of your time on EB. But you're just so desperate for someone to blame. It's sad.
