I don't understand what part of being a HC can impede a side of the ball like that.  So offense is your thing and you don't care about defense--fine.  You hire a capable DC to do that for you.  It's not like he doesn't know defense is a thing you need.  Either he's hiring the wrong guys or he's doing something in leadership that's making it impossible for the DC to do his job. 
Both, I think. He's not going to hire a DC who will push back against running the hurry-up when he should be eating clock, and his failure to hold players and coaches responsible makes it difficult-to-impossible for even the best DC to do his job. And that hypothetical "best DC" would not like to work for Muleshoe for very long.

a decent O-coordinator knows a great defense gives him much better scoring opportunities with more possessions and field position

obviously the same goes for special teams play
I'm sure that he knows that.
But he would have to devote more time, energy, and money recruiting defensive players. He would have to rein in or slow down his offense at times to give the defense a chance to rest.
The things he would have to do to have a better defense would interfere with his real interest--having a world-beater offense.
That's my take on it, anyway.

Scott Frost was the same way

never figured it out

his and his D-coordinator's philosophy was to make big plays - tackles for loss, turnovers, anything to hand the ball back to the offense as soon as possible - obviously this also allows big plays by the opponent

idea being to have as many possessions as possible to outscore the opponent

That sounds like Alex Grinch's "Speed D." It emphasized the same things you just described. It was better than Mike Stoops' defense, which gave up yards and points without generating turnovers and TFLs. But, except for one season, it didn't generate turnovers and TFLs either.
Riley's defenses at OU were always short on quality depth. They often wore down in the 4th quarter. Like his defense did in the Cotton Bowl yesterday.

Texas A&M is finalizing a deal to hire Bobby Petrino as offensive coordinator, according to multiple reports. Petrino, who's expected to take over play-calling duties from Aggies coach Jimbo Fisher, most recently served as head coach at FCS Missouri State from 2020 through this past season, and was hired as offensive coordinator at UNLV in December 2022.

That's not what I'm saying.  I'm fine with the move, it's exactly what I predicted would eventually happen back in 2011.

But we're not in the SEC yet, and we won't be for another year.

No offense but this has "disaster" written all over it.

I think UO and UT need to tighten it up a bit before make this transition ...

A&M, I dunno ...
