What the heck is a "quality coach"? It seems like most NFL teams have at least one for offense and for defense.

They basically make sure practice time is efficient, everything is organized, and the drills are effective. They are always looking for ways that things can be done better.
Coaches sometimes don't see the big picture of a practice as they are focused on their individual drills/players. A QC coach sees the big picture.
It allows coaches to direct 100% of their focus to coaching.

Usually the lowest rung on a pro coaching staff, kind of the "GA" of the NFL, from what I understand at least. Might not have a specific position to coach, but instead is in charge of statistical analysis, research, clock management, etc.

BINGO...
Way to get your foot in the door... You are the piss boy for a year or two (Kind of like an intern)...
Now once you do your time and a position opens up often you will be considered for it and can move up the ladder. Suck it up for a while and move on.
I believe the former coach from NORTH PENN HIGH SCHOOL in PA was this for the Ravens. I maybe wrong (Mike Petine) but this guy was the guy who was the coach of the team "The Season" an ESPN doc...).
He left NP and worked for the Ravens as their QC for about two years.... Then was promoted to OLB.... Now Rex Ryan considers him and has said that Mike Petine is his "Right Hand Man"...
Now that Ryan left I am not sure if he is leaving with him or staying.... Bottom line goes from high school and a legit pro coach in just a few years... Pretty cool stuff. I would bet he might be up for being a DC soon if not already.

Yup, Pettine was just named Ryan's DC with the Jets. Only 7 years of pro experience and he's already an NFL coordinator!? WOW.
