Everything that influences a system is a part of its output. So while the person themselves and the coaches have large aspects of that output so too does the environment, the family, the friends, the media, etc, etc, etc. There are people who get derailed in their careers by things not even remotely related to their job.I'm one that puts the burden on the players.
The complexity at play here is way more intricate than "fire X = Y" whether X is player or coach. Further the replacement could possibly be worse than the current which everyone always discounts. That doesn't mean that change is a poor course of action - simply that there is no guarantee of outcome and blind change simply for the emotional high of "doing something" often results in a much worse outcome than process of elimination.
Now in J. Smith's case - many changes around him the past couple years - not much output change - does tend to now place the onus on he himself as the likely culprit to that lack of output.
