You answered your own question- that's why he didn't get the job. The GM probably didn't like his choice of OC and is very concerned with the development of Darnold. It's common practice for the GM to look over the list of coaches the prospective HC would bring in.
It goes on everywhere, you just took two examples of bad teams to fit your point. Gary Kubiak was pretty highly sought after this cycle, so that's actually a bad point. This team won a super bowl three years ago. In fact, not keeping Wade Phillips proved to be a poor decision.

Same reason Fangio was hired, he was cool with Elway pushing Kubiak on him.

I doubt the Jets pushed anyone on Gase, more likely they liked the staff more for the development of Darnold that he suggested than Rhule's.
Not sure why you're acting like Gary Kubiak is a bum coach. Consider the Broncos lucky to have him, he's a great QB tutor and a super bowl winning HC who has a ton of experience. Hell, he made Brock Osweiler look like a 17 mil man. There is a lot to question about the Broncos but Fangio/Kubiak are probably the best decisions that they have made in the last three years. Pairing Fangio with Von Miller and Bradley Chubb is dynamite imo. That leaves the offense to Kubiak.
Klatt mentioned the other day that Saban has lost 13 assistant coaches over the last 4 years and has had a different coordinator combination for each of the last 4 seasons. It was part of his larger point that when a program is run as a football factory, this sort of thing happens and there comes a point where a let down is inevitable. Looks like he's lost another 3 assistants so far this offseason and I bet there will be more?

Is this an unusually active year in coaching changes, or is it just that I'm paying more attention?
One unintended negative consequence manifested itself in pun creep, I believe.
We used to have an entire thread dedicated to puzzles, riddles, and the like. Some snooty mod didn't like it and axed the whole deal. That was a sad day.

I don’t know. Does this mean we’re getting the banned back together?
Did I do this and not remember?
I hear that Saban is really hard to work for. He is harder on the assistant coaches than he is on the kids. (He figures that the coaches are getting paid so he can yell at them a lot more than I can the kids).
I’ve always felt like that was the reason for the high turnover. It seems to be catching up with him.
It’s a place for elite players to practice and play against other elite players who aspire to play football for a living. It’s a job at Alabama. It’s also a launch pad for great coaches to get an opportunity for quick advancement and eventually get their own HC gig. It’s the closest thing we’ve seen to an NFL franchise.
Poor Wyoming. THANK YOU WYOMING!
That is actually a really good fit for him.

I wish him well. By all accounts he was a good guy, just not a good P5 OL coach.
Overrated
Wow. That's nuts. Imagine if we had kept MM and he announced those changes. I'd be done.
I don't think they're there yet, but something about reshuffling deck chairs comes to mind...
That’s what MM did with Adams and BernardiWow. That's nuts. Imagine if we had kept MM and he announced those changes. I'd be done.
Chev coaching DBs, Brown/Ambrose coaching WRs
Bernardi BACK to OL, Adams BACK to TE
Hagan to QBs, Roper to RBs.
THAT would have been an elite staff!
Once Narduzzi left, MSU has become average.
Probably not as weird as it sounds. Warner was their QB coach from 2007-2012. The TE coach has coached both TE and OL for 30 years.
Staten was the TE coach before he had become the OL coach. And so on....
