This is true for professors at research universities in grant fields. Their job is to bring in grants. Teaching is of minor importance in those fields, to the point that they don't need you to teach at all if you're that bad at it. Other fields don't have much in the way of grants, so teaching is given considerably more weight at all but the wealthiest institutions.
