Literally can learn everything from those. How you think the coach you want to hire learned anything?
Now without seeing, it sounds like you're forcing yourself down, and you are rounding once you start to descend. Like one poster mentioned, you're looking to keep your elbows perpendicular with the floor. This will help you to stay upright.
If I were you, I'd cut out the back squatting for a bit. Start with doing air squats and be 100% sure you are squatting correctly. Grab a pvc pipe and practice technique. Move on to a goblet squat once you think you've got it. After that, move on to an empty bar, and add weight as your progress.
Watch this video, it really goes into bracing and form. Squat University is fantastic, but I just find his explanations a little more educated lol. Duffin will put it in easier terms. I refer this video to a lot of people.

I had to give up on squats for a few months because on the pain I was getting in my mid to lower back. I was squatting sometimes up to 85-90% of my max by the end of my sets. I put an end to that shite. Supplemented with hack squats and leg press. After a few months off, I did both deadlifts and squats for the first time this week at about 60ish% of my max, and the pain wasn't there. So for now, I'm going to continue with the lighter weight and more reps. There was no reason for me to put 300+ pounds on the bar and try to squat it for reps. Well no reason other than my own ego. Same for deadlifts. 225lbs on squat, and 275lbs on deads are quite enough for me to get a damn good workout without the back pain. If the pain comes back, I'll dial it back even more.
