Morphology
The sense 'a position as a coach' is directly and transparently composed from 'coaching' (guidance/training profession) + 'job' (paid position). This is a straightforward noun + noun compound following common compositional patterns found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The phrase coaching job comes from an old idea: the word coach once meant a large carriage that carried people to a place. People then used coach for someone who 'carries' you forward in learning or sport, so a coaching job is a job of guiding and training players or students.
