I guess my question is...is a coordinator responsible for actual coaching or not?

The DC would be responsible for all aspect of the defense, not just the play calling.  If a fundamental problem in regard to tackling is recognized then it would be on the HC to bring it to the DC and the DC to make sure it's being worked on through the position coaches.  But in terms of actual coaching, I think they would save that to their position coaches and perhaps their previous specialty.  However, teams do not work fundamentals during the season.  They have to get ready for the next game...gameplan....film study, etc.  Fundamentals are worked in the offseason.
