There were also some serious menu deficiencies (no way for your coach to change his scheme or base playbook, even in the offseason, no way to know which coaches were hireable and having to bid on them one at a time, etc).

Also, look at NBA2k and MLB the Show. Those two games sell pretty well given how popular those sports are compared to football and they both have deep franchise modes that are a major draw for consumers.

NFL Head Coach failed for a lot of reasons, and one of them might be because fans don't want to pay $60 for a front office sim that doesn't include gameplay. It didn't fail because sim sports is dead and draws no interest from consumers.
You're right, it really should have been a $29 title and/or a DLC bundle type deal with Madden.
