Last I checked coaches of the worst teams always get fired.

You must not follow sports much.

EDIT
Also, bad analogy is bad. There is only one "head coach" position on a sports team. If you think there is only one person at Blizzard responsible for monks and wizards then you're beyond reason.

Wizard, supposed to be the master of elements but really never has been, undefined role. Wizards throwing their hands up in confusion.

When it comes to the philosophy of the wizard, it seems like they were envisioning them flitting around the battlefield while blasting monsters from range. Key word: range. The channeling spells seem to directly contradict that image. Standing still leads to monsters getting in your face, which means you're now face-tanking like one of the melee classes. The skills that do lend themselves to this ranged playing style are incredibly weak in comparison to the nukes that DH's and WD's can dish out (the other two "ranged" classes).

Wizards just play clunky right now. Honestly, I feel like Teleport needs to have its cooldown removed and then given a paltry AP cost per cast. Wizards should be the most mobile class. A big part of their flavor is their control over "time and space", and yet they seem do a pretty poor job of dealing with both in-game.

I hope it's taking a bit more time actually, so we can have a proper "balance" between the classes.

I wouldn't count on it. No RPG with multiple classes is ever perfectly balanced, but as WoW and now D3 have amply demonstrated over the years, Blizzard in particular is pretty terrible at balancing classes. It will always be the case that at least one class is terrible, at least one is overpowered, and at least a few buffs/nerfs/general changes to skills, items, stats, etc. will defy all reason and logic. It's kind of something you just have to get used to when it comes to a Blizzard RPG.
