Defensive scheme to blame for lack of pass rushing?

Marvin said himself when Teryl Austin got the axe that the players were responsible.  That set a bad precedent, because it basically told the players that they could half ass it and sabotage the coaches if they didn't like the scheme and management would have their back.

Carlos had success in the Zimmer/Guenther system.  He didn't want to change or maybe didn't have the skill set to adapt.  But you can't blame the scheme if you aren't trying your hardest.  

It's also the coordinator's job to build a scheme based on the talent they have.
You probably shouldn't be taking your pass rushing specialist and dropping him into coverage nearly as often as they did.
It's your responsibility to know if your staff has the ability (and willingness) to fit into your scheme.

I have seen this same type of thing in my industry - software testing.
Nowadays, more and more software testing is demanding automation so that testing can be faster for quicker delivery.
As such, the staff needs to know how to program automation.
If you have staff who is only has done manual testing, you need to put them on a program to try to ramp them up with automation.
If they still cannot automate or don't show interest in change, you move on from them in favor of people who can and will.
