Tech lead was promoted from individual contributor during a time the company was struggling to hire. He didn't want to be the lead but succumbed to the pressure (and the inevitability of looking bad and never be able to grow within the company).
Long story short, he's terrible and it shows. The team is a mess, lots of silos, morale is low, difficulty in meeting commitments, etc.
I think I can do better (and have done at other companies but was hired as an individual contributor here) and I also think no amount of coaching can help him after all these years.

What do I do?
