The above was mostly just hypotheticals, but it wouldn't actually surprise me if too much pressure was the problem.

I think it's both.
The organizations motto of "Playoffs at all costs" has set this team back in past seasons IMO.
I also think that ownership plays a much bigger role in the day to day of this team than we see. Was it Friedman who said that Murray tries to watch every game and talks to Burke/Trelving after each game?
The issue with ownership isn't that they are cheap, it's that they are impatient and want too much input into decisions they aren't qualified to make.
