Building a culture is important, especially when it comes to defense, but if it comes at the expense of leaving points/wins on the board due to poor in-game management, strategy, etc., it's best to leave those types of guys in coordinator roles.
A good example is McDermott in Buffalo. The dude seems to be a good coach and has built a good culture in Buffalo, but he definitely costs his team games. The Bills probably beat the Eagles on Sunday if McDermott manages his timeouts at the end of the game better and at least tries to go for the win in regulation.
