They literally can't tackle. Teams are offloading for fun against us. That's coaching.

It is and it isn't. You learn to tackle at a very young age so by pro level they should know how to tackle/stop offloads. However, what is coaching is the defence setup, when to slide, when to hold, when to go one for one etc.
Additionally we can't forget Madge did bring in a 3 man in the tackle technique, 2 make contact, hold the man up, 3rd man comes in so they can lower and turtle the ball carrier so the d line can reset before the PTB.
Additionally, different coaches can 'hide' players in D if the attacking team seeks to target them, like how Saints moved long out wide in D or how the Broncos always positioned Lockyer next to Tallis.
Lots goes into D.
