I think there are people that believe the core of this team is the primary problem and there are people that believe the coaching is the primary problem, and there are people that believe both contribute in some manner.
But are there any actual Ward supporters?

My personal take is this: it’s so pointless arguing with people who hate Ward. They always come at you with “we haven’t hired an experienced coach yet”. It’s literally impossible to argue against it. There’s no way to disprove it. And maybe they’re right, but I think that argument gives the players a free pass.
What we DO have is four coaches with relatively the same core and the same results and the same problems. So while we haven’t hired an experienced coach I don’t have much faith that if we did much would change.
Do I think Ward is a good coach? No. But it’s absolutely exhausting blaming the coach time and time again. At some point it’s not the coach anymore. I think it’s a lazy excuse and a lazy argument that lets the players off the hook.
I think the coaching is an issue, but I think the core needs to be changed first. Coaching and management share some of the blame, but it’s not equal. It’s mostly on the players in my opinion.
