It's still correctable. But the first step is to acknowledge the problem which hasn't happened yet.

When are folks going to learn that Miles NEVER acknowledges a problem, and he never calls out a coach or player. He just quietly goes about fixing it in his own way and in his own time. When the co-DCs didn't work out in 08, he never complained about the D publicly, or even acknowledged that there was a problem. But both coaches soon left for "better opportunities" and he hired the Chief. He never criticized Crowton, but Crowton left for Maryland and he hired Krags.

I would not be surprised to see him make some kind of change in the offensive coaching this off-season, but he won't preface any change with some kind of public exposure of what he thinks the problems are. He'll just do it in such a way as to avoid embarrassing any coaches. It's frustrating for us fans when he does this, but I respect his efforts to avoid throwing any coach or player under the bus.
