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.

And I agree with you that it is too easy to blame the coach, and is done too often.
But sometimes it is absolutely accurate. And changing the coach/manager can change everything for a team.
Saying 'it's too easy to blame the coach' is just as big of a fallacy as actually blaming the coach too quickly is.
