Head Coach:

Since the game was called Head Coach, the Head Coach had access to the most base skills and special skills.

He had strategy, team chemistry, offensive and defensive play calling skills, the physical, intangible, and learning development of ALL of the position players on defense and offense. On the special skills side he had the ability to make all of his coaches around him better (increasing their base level maximum by 1, so if your QB coach was at QB physical development of 4 max, unlocking that skill would boost his max to 5...for every single skill, for every single coach!) He had access to things that would help with team chemistry, better player performance, and player learning.

He could do it all, and building up a great head coach from scratch took some pretty careful planning and quite some time to build up the points, but it would be worth it in the end.

Offensive/Defensive Coordinators:

Essentially these coaches were next in line in terms of what they had available to them since one day, these coaches might want to become head coaches.

They would have access to all of the development skills associated with either the entire offense or defense (QB, RB, WR, TE, OL for the OC), (DL, LB, DB for the DC). They would also have team chemistry and player performance skills and play calling skills. On the special skills side they would have access to things that would make your players a bit better on whichever side of the ball they played on. For instance, the DC might have the special ability of making your players tackle with more power to create more big hits and/or fumbles. He might have the ability to help your defensive backs play better coverage or to be able to intercept the balls better.

These coaches make a big impact on the field. You have a poor defensive coordinator and he is less likely to call a good play to stop the offense. Players probably won't perform quite as well as they should. Essentially if you look at the team rankings and found a poor offensive and defensive club, chances are they have a pretty poor OC or DC.
