it's a little of both.
this is a complicated explanation so will give a brief one, for now...
coach the scheme you know. use terminology that allows an easy transition to different formations & a tag to a play. "fitting" players to an offense is about calling plays and getting into formations or personnel matchups more than it is about changing an "offense". i mean, if you have players that would be just great for the wing-t but you don't know the wing-t then how good they gonna be? but, if you are a wing-t team that has kids that should be running the flexbone you can play-call to use more belly option plays or perimeter plays for example to take advantage of their skill set -- you will be more successful by altering personnel (moving good qb to tb to get him more carries, etc. as an example) and/or play calling than if you completely changed offense.
so, if you get a great tailback come through don't change from the spread to the I to get him more touches ... just call more run schemes and use screens/flares to also get him the ball. likewise, if you lose you stud tailback don't scrap the I formation to go to an empty set ... simply move people around, get into a 1-back spread and let the QB (next best athlete in this scenario) do more running plays -- a minor adjustment as oppossed to wholesale change.
talkd in circles and said nothing, i know ... sorry

On the contrary - took a complex question and explained it fully in 2 brief paragraphs. Well Done!  |

I would have to echo Huey's response. It is a little bit of both. Having a split back veer background (player) and both spread and wing-t as a coach it is possible to mold both the system and the players to work at maximum efficiency.
