Doesn't mean its all their fault. But they are ultimately responsible.

No surprise though that I often disagree with coaches being blamed in hockey too. Generally speaking I think coaches take too much of the blame and are fired too quickly. And I know that it is because that's the easy thing to do (easier than making trades) but I think it is still often done prematurely.
I think consistency of leadership is something that isn't valued enough in sports. I look at organizations with sustained success and often there are leaders (players, coaches, managers) that have been their a long time and help form the identity of the team.
So this is likely a pretty fundamental philosophical difference.
