It's not exactly the same thing, but it's still pretty much the same thing.
If your process of deciding who's a fit starts with you determining which system fits your team, then no question, you think you're qualified to make that decision and you're making at least preliminary call on the issue.
If you don't think you're qualified, then you don't make that a part of your process.
I also don't realistically see someone deciding which system would fit their team and then be okay if the guy they hire to do that starts doing something completely different.
I also think you're likely to lose out on the best coach available, just like you're likely to miss out on the best player available at the draft if you draft for "organization needs". Most likely "the best player available" just "wasn't the right fit at that time".
