So I guess it depends on whether or not you think the Flames are just a cruddy hockey team, or a hockey team that is better than they are playing.
If one believes the former, then yes, it is on the GM.
I believe that organizations that struggle consistently do so, in part, due to the fact that there isn't consistency at the top. GMs don't have the opportunity to build a team over the long-term. They are hired and fired too quickly.
Personally, I think BT is a good hockey mind, a hard worker and leaves no stone un-turned. I don't want to see him swapped out for some other guy and then we are starting from square 1 again.
Consistency please.
