I'd say this is why an appointment is taking so long. Not too many Coaches like to be told what to do. Some will buy in to it, others will say fcuk that after the interview
Older coaches might do that, because they came up in the era of 'football managers' controlling all aspects of the team, but the younger generation of coaches are much more attuned to the 'Head Coach' concept, where they're one part of a bigger machine. They still have an important say in all aspects, such as recruitment, but not the only say. I suspect that's one reason why all of the brothers' appointments have been relatively young. It's too simplistic and probably inaccurate to say the club are after yes men, but they're certainly after Head Coaches who can operate as part of a team, alongside the DoF and others.
