kinda like when you finance a movie or are a friend of the director's. you get an "associate producer" title in the credits; it looks fancy but it just means you did jack shit. "associate coach" means he gets to stand there with his tiny head and hold a clipboard.

even though he's one of the ugliest to ever do it...he'll earn 20X more than what your dad earns as a horticulturalist specialist

LOL Ewing can't seem to sniff a head coaching gig. Don't think he merits one, either.
