I guess this is meant for me? It's impossible to put the cart before the horse when it comes to believing in your players. Belief is the first step, because at some point all your players will be new to you.
Also, you support you players when they struggle. If a coach is going to get frustrated and impatient when players struggle then they might be in the wrong business because players are going to struggle. Adversity is par for the course.
Did you catch the Hardknocks? Bill O'brien's opening speech to his coaches represents how I think a HC needs to think:

Sure sounds like believes in his players and holds his coaches accountable.

Nope, don't try to put the responsibility for RGIII's success or failure on Jay. It seems to me that Jay is doing everything he can to help RGIII be successful. RGIII's actual on the field performance will determine his future and, when he is on the field, it is in RGIII's hands alone.

Of course the HC and coaches in general are responsible for the performance of their players (especially players that have already achieved at a high level). If you really want to make the argument that they're not then we shouldn't have a discussion because it means to me that you don't believe or respect in the value of coaching.
Griffin's success or failure is without a doubt linked to Jay's ability as a coach and that is true for any coach and player across the league.
Also, you might not have noticed but there are huge changes being made for the team and for the offense. If everything last year was right from a coaching standpoint then why such drastic changes?
