Coaches around here are usually hired as a condition of their overall contact as a teacher. Usually schools do not have a non-teacher coaching any sport. So those coaches are accountable to the school district in many ways. Not that it always works, but if a coach does something that embarrasses the school it can and has affected their real job.
