And in my view this team, relative to most good teams, doesn't have enough grit. Again, the coach's system may be part of that, but I also think if you look at the basic attributes and history of many of the core players - I don't think one can assume that a new coach would materially change how they play the game.
I just don't see how this is ALL about the coach.

Upgrading the coach might be easier than upgrading the team?
