LOL even assuming there is an actual distinction here - great we got out schemed and that is in no way an indictment on our DC
Scheme must be the fault of the players

Getting out-schemed doesn't mean you're horrible and need to be fired.
It means you got got. It happens.
For example, in 2018, Sean McVay got out-schemed by Vic Fangio on the way to the Super Bowl. He shut down their high-scoring offense. Belichick copied the plan in the Super Bowl and held them to 3 points.
Is McVay an idiot, or did he get got?
Meanwhile, Fangio got run out of Miami, and now has the Eagles playing better.
For the eleventy billionth time, my position is that we need MORE TALENT.
Even if we fire Guidry tomorrow, rolling out Meesh Powell and Jaden Harris is not a contender-level duo.
That is a talent issue. That is on Mario for an underwhelming '23 class. We should have more second-year players ready to contribute.
I have zero attachment to Guidry. I've just become more of a "Jimmys & Joes" guy after seeing so many "big brains" look average to flat-out bad.

And on and on and on.
Does anybody really think Al Golden is a top 5 defensive mind?
He played tight end college, had average at best defenses under Al Groh, then had historically awful defenses here as the HC.
Manny Diaz gives up 62 points to Mack Brown, then rehabilitates his career with solid defenses at Penn State.
I don't know who the genius coaches are. I'll leave that to everybody else.
Just keep stacking talent.
