How many coaches do these teams need?  Why not just hire one for every player?

 

Every player has an individual coach. It's the exception that a player doesn't work with coaches outside the team that they hire already. There's also likely coaches that aren't team coaches, but work with the player with the team's involvement. I'm not terribly familiar with it in the NFL, but Hockey has "speed" and "skating" coaches that show up at the team practices and work with the player outside of practices as well. 

 

Given the money and the degree of mastery involved, it's not a far stretch to envision the number of coaches/players being 1:1. I'd suspect it's around 1:3-5 right now.
