Isn’t that the guy whose administration ended with a depression of some large magnitude?

No. The Great Depression did not begin until 1929, by which time Coolidge had left office. Thus the blame fell on his successor, Herbert Hoover.

Hoover really should not have been president, as he had very little ability to inspire and had a mindset better suited to building and logistics over politics. Given a logistical task he was incredible, as he showed in 1945 when Harry Truman gave him the task of organizing food supplies in Europe. But as a president he was ill suited.
