They are to prod, poke and provoke individuals and the team into performing to the best of their abilities -- by hook or by crook. This is a big part of their job descriptions and what they are paid to do, and are evaluated by their superior -- the GM.Players are paid to play football. The only evaluation that is in their job description is self-evaluation. They are a single part of a team, whose job description requires them to work as a part of a system in which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts This what they are paid to do and they are evaluated by their superiors -- the coaches.Attempts to turn these processes upside down are insubordinate an cancerous to the functioning of a team.When players begin criticizing coaches it is time for the GM to fine, suspend, trade or cut the player OR fire the coaching staff for losing control of the team.
