At least, that's my operative theory of the moment.

Essentially repeating the less enthusiastic version, the coach doesn't know how to make an effective scheme with the personnel they have (fit scheme to players), they have a system they want to run and need to fit players to that scheme.

You really could just say "not a difference maker coach" and save everyone's time.
